So are the GMTV bulletins now officially - Andrew Mon-Wed, Justina on Thurs and Sally on Friday?

No wonder u watch at the end of the week

I wish Jo Rice would come on the weather more - she is better than Charlie and Ruth but oh well at least we get Emma a lot

TV dragon do you have any pics of the Carlton girls doing the Wales or West weather? The only ones I have are the pics you did of Ruth doing the weather

Yeah I have some. If you just want Emma and Charlie for the HTV regions, i.e. no James or Ruth [whichever hair colour] or any for Central West/Central generally, then here you go -- but I can't find an Emma Jesson for Wales Confused.
They'll be somwhere though. Have an HTV Weather Warning from Emma instead ~

Here's a couple of James Wright ones, but I can't find any Joanna Rice caps this side of the Carlton acquisition. Perhaps they're around somewhere, but it's almost pointless asking me, LOL.
I'll keep a look out for her though, she may turn up after Central News one day. You know she went on Blind Date once..

I'm sure you'll find Jo on other presentation sites who do this sort of thing properly! Razz

Thanks TV Dragon!

Yes I remember reading somewhere that Jo was on Blind Date!

She was HTV West's regular weather presenter before the Carltonisation so im suprised she appears at all now as Dillwyn and Lorna havent appeared for over a year nor has Su Evans.

Well I think we can conclude Jo has moved on now.
If Wales can keep Ruth Dodsworth as a domestic weather forecaster [and then James], then I suppose it's fair that the West could keep Jo Rice. Of course everyone shares each other really, but I wonder if Emma and Charlie are ill one day, if Ruth would do the bulletins for Central/HTV West?

Lorna Stevens has completely vanished though. Emma Hignett got a job, but Lorna..?

GMG North have 6 weather presenters now, and Carlton Midland Regions have 4 [unless Jo is around].

And awful S4C~ woman was back on continuity again this morning on BBC ONE Wales. Confused

I dont think Ruth would do the weather for Central or West - It would be a bit like Lucy Cohen reading the Central News. And besides that would be far too much work for Ruth - doing Wales West and 3 Central sub regions! She isnt the hardest of workers is she

Notice Ruth never does weekends - which is when Wales, West and Cen always have the same presenter on the weather.

West always seem to have the same presenter as Central 7 days a week - ie they always have Emma/Charlie with James Wright occasionally. Is James a Carlton presenter or like Ruth is he from Wales? And I missed the weather tonight - I hope Jo Rice didnt turn up and I missed her Very Happy
