Not gonna lie, I forgot about her. Lantouris did an excellent job in her place.
She sure did. Sheâs a lovely woman to meet in person.
Whatâs Penelope Liersch doing at GTV now?
working, I presume
Perish the thought!
Almost certain I saw Penny on ACA a week or so ago.
Yeah sheâs on ACA now.
It appears when Melbourne crime reporter Lana Murphy is away, Gillian Lantouris is the back up crime reporter.
Seriously. Do we need to report on every reporter being away or on holidays?
Yes!
As for when reporters switch from news to ACA, I wonder if they see it as a downgrade ? From reporting crime to reporting on shonky tradesmen or which butter tastes better ?
No we dont, itâs time for it to stop
Probably a promotion.
Howâs shonky tradesmen any worse than chasing car crash cctv?
Come now⌠no other show can provide such comedy gold as Half Job Rob:
(Still funnier than half the stuff on The Project)
Such a Pity that Sydneyâs still doing the One Anchor at the Desk, I wish they shall do 2.
Why? I really donât get the appeal of a two-up anchor arrangement
Soâs Perth
Must be a legacy thing. I find solo presentation so stilted.
It probably is. I donât mind dual presenters, but it would feel a bit weird seeing someone co-present with Peter Overton in Sydney, because we are so accustomed to seeing him present solo.
Though if Pete was to move on, thereâs probably a good chance Nine Sydney would move to a dual presenter set up because I donât think there is a clear successor. And also because it worked in Melbourne.
Not sure who Sydney would use in such a scenario, Jayne Azzopardi and maybe Charles Croucher? A younger pairing like Melbourne as opposed to say Georgie Gardner and Mark Burrows.
Monday 25 March - Friday 29 March
Alicia Loxley presenting solo tonight.
