I actually confirmed it as Lara Vella was actually Julie Snook’s supposed replacement. However, I can’t recall if she did a few weeks on the Early News or not, Vella was promoted to Today Sydney Reporter in July/August within a matter of being appointed to the Early News. Since Nine have returned to rotating presenters.
As of early this month, Deborah Knight and Jayne Azzopardi share the role across the week. Amelia Adams was the original maternity relief before she went on maternity leave.
Amber Sherlock is the presenter Monday-Thursday and Natalia Cooper Fridays.[quote=“Brad, post:38, topic:1147”]
Who is doing Seven Early News at the moment?

Samantha Brett is the presenter whilst Jodie Speers is on maternity leave.
ATM, a rotation of presenters including Chris Reason, Angie Asimus and Robert Ovadia.
A few updates to the regional news presenter lists.
Prime7 News
With previous Southern NSW (Wagga, Central West & Albury/Wodonga) newsreader Freya Cole having left the network on February 10 to become a reporter for Seven News Sydney, all five local bulletins share the same presenters now.
News & Sport: Madelaine Collignon & Kenny Heatley
Weather: Guy Fenton (who I believe also presents the weather on Prime7 News at 6.30pm bulletin these days )
WIN News
Tanya Dendrinos now presents weather on the Illawarra bulletin, as well as the five Victorian bulletins.
NBN
Jane Goldsmith has since returned from maternity leave to her weekend news presenting role.
Mike Lorigan is no longer at NBN News. Mitchell Hughes is technically the current weekend sports presenter of NBN News along with his usual weeknight position, although Chris White & Paddy Kilmurray regularly fill-in.
Nine News Regional, Southern NSW/ACT (new addition)
News: Vanessa O’Hanlon
Sport: Mike Lorigan
Weather: Gavin Morris
Jacqueline Felgate is on ML. Emily Angwin is presenting the local Arvo News for Melb.
*Angela Tsun has returned from ML to weekend Perth News.
NINE:
James Bracey presents Weekend Today sport
Morning/Afternoon News- Deborah Knight (Mon/Fri) and Davina Smith (Tues-Thur)
Will McDonald and Alice Monfries share the local Adelaide Arvo News role (now from 4-5pm, same in Perth)
TEN:
Lachlan Kennedy, Hugh Riminton and Candice Wyatt have all been removed from the 5pm anchor position to return to solo presenters.
*Amanda Jason is on maternity leave - Amanda Hart presents weekend weather.
I way saying that both the LIVE Adelaide and Perth bulletins now run from 4pm-5pm (not 5pm-5.30 like last year). Obviously, Emmy Kubainski presents the Perth edition.
