I remember hearing in late 2006 early 2007 that Sharyn had indicated that she would like to return to Queensland, however Nine had nothing for her at the time. Bruce Paige and Heather Foord on weeknights and Melissa Downes on weekends.
And then Tracey Challenor decided to take a break from television in Feb 2007 (16 years and counting lol), which worked in Sharyn’s favour.
