Maybe covid has wiped a few people out. To have the 3rd back up weather presenter read a bulletin then the main anchor in on a Sunday is a bit out of the ordinary.

Jacqueline Felgate had announced she was leaving Seven after ten years. She revealed it at the end of sports segment in tonight’s Melbourne bulletin. She said it had been tough for her over the past two years and she looked forward to be a mum to her two daughters.

That was a shock.

It seemed to come out of the blue, is this her last bulletin ?

I’m guessing so, she has already removed references to Seven in her Instagram bio.
Blake Johnson presented her with flowers at the end of the bulletin.

Joining Michael at 10?
I don’t think so, Michael’s role at 10 is only for Melbourne Cup carnival.
Jacqui’s departure was a shock to me because she also hosted Footy Central during Seven’s Saturday night AFL broadcast, and this season was only three rounds old.

Definitely a bit of a shock, that’s for sure!

Not happy about being bumped down the pecking order?
Didn’t Jane only return mid-week? It’s preferable to keep it strictly between Jane/Mike/Rosanna as much as you can I believe. BTW, I thought Casey was quite good on the desk from what I saw.

Hrmm cant say she would have been too happy about Bec returning to 7. I dont think its that much of a shock is it? I say that would have been the tipping point. I found her whole persona to be different when Bec is in the studio vs when shes not. No one else thought that?

I think that’s been mentioned here before. Certainly rumours of tension between the pair have circulated since Bec’s last stint at Seven. I don’t think it’s an accident Felgate decided tonight would be her last night considering Maddern is isolating.

Not really. I mean you could see it in the body language and all.
I think someone who is better suited as a senior reporter in the field, not the desk. Some people shine in the field, and don’t have the authority in the studio.

Hardly a shock. It was inevitable the moment from the moment Maddern returned.

Exactly. She probably wanted a more prominent role but when Bec came back all that was dashed.
Being honest here but I never thought she was such a good presenter. Seems very forced and artificial. Not a great loss.

Where was Bec tonight?
I’m assuming it’s something to do with this

Ok. Strange that she is responding to the trolls on twitter though, generally I thought News directors had control over social accounts.
