They had people like Ross Kelly & Matt Lorenzo around that time.
Before 2000 Eamonn and Fiona used to present five days a week. The move to a permanent four day (and later three day) week came with the advent of Kate and Andrew.
As posted previously, Ross Kelly and Matt Lorenzo would fill in for Eamonn and Penny Smith would often deputise for Fiona. Lorraine made occasional appearances back on the sofa in those days (even presenting with Fiona on Christmas Eve 2001 I recall) with Anne Davies also filling in. When Fiona went on maternity leave in 1999, rather than use Penny or Anne as regular co-presenter they chose to hire Esther McVey.
Incidentally, wasn't Anne sidelined: from regular Friday/Sunday co-presenter to reading the bulletins during the Newshour and occasional features such as travel etc. Firstly they chose Lorraine over Anne to replace Fiona Armstrong then Penny to present the Newshour and read the GMTV Today bulletins.
GMTV (1993 - 2010)
It seems that a large number of presenters on GMTV all started in 2000 so there must have been a major change back then. Before Garraway and Castle came on the scene in 2000, who presented GMTV on Fridays and school holidays?
