Here for it today. Surely something must be said on the programme today?
I disagree Eamonn is doing himself no favours, although I get what you mean. Imo, he will be cheered on by many, both in tv and the public. He is exposing the cabal, as he puts it, in itv.As much as Eamonn is making us laugh, and crucially emphasising that HW isn’t little Miss Angelic, he is doing himself no favours. He is clearly smarting from being ousted from TM a few years back, but upsetting the Head of ITV and other head honchos, might deter others for considering him for work elsewhere, particularly if you factor in all his recent health woes. There is loads of competition for jobs on TV, and like PS, EH is getting on in tv terms. Ruth had been on This Morning longer that PS, probably why he wanted her gone, but she has kept her head down and carried on with Loose Women. Eamonn is going to be stuck in that broadcasting backwater for ever if he keeps on. Eamonn has an air of entitlement about him, thinks he is a broadcaster of Dimbleby stature rather than a jobbing presenter on populist programmes.
I liked Ruth and Eamonn on This Morning, it was the only day I watched. I could not stand P and H’s excluding the audience with their hilarious in jokes like the mean kids at school. But sometimes even then Eamonn looked as if he felt he was above it all. He hinted he wanted to be Piers replacement on GMB, but clearly Mrs ITV has put the blockers on any other programmes for him. I liked those “rich” series of programmes R & E did for Channel 5. Covid restrictions and his health woes put the kibbosh on those but could they be revived now. Channel 5 has also become a safe space for another of PS victims - Fern B.
He is doing himself favours on here, and others who like a laugh at all this. But in terms of his own employability he is actively working against himself. The job he has now is not a stellar appointment, it’s a massive step down for him. And he won’t be able to climb back up if he keeps on calling people like the head of ITV Mrs EasyJet. He is trying to reduce her image wise to a trolly Dolly asking if you want chicken or beef.I disagree Eamonn is doing himself no favours, although I get what you mean.

Whenever I see of hear her there is only one word that springs to mind. Growler.................................I find Lorraine intensely faux, sycophantic and irritating. Sorry, just had to get that out!
That’s good to know.I happen to know Eamonn is very happy in his employment and he certainly isn’t looking for work elsewhere! Aside from not needing it, he’s an unwell man. This gig is the gig he’s happy to stick with and go out on. Being on those popular mainstream programmes is part of the problem, it allows for power and perverts!
I'm a little bit in love with Eamon Holmes and his gleeful schadenfreude.
In monetary terms he is, but his programme doesn’t have great ratings. Piers is all about being seen, and his visibility has taken a back step from his Daily Mail column and GMB days.Piers Morgan is to put it mildly, outspoken and he's doing ok for himself. I think viewers appreciate journalists who are true to themselves and just call it as they see it. I mean compare that to the mad panto going on on This Morning all last week.
If its her, my god the ratings will sink faster than the titanicStacey Solomon with the cryptic “best meeting of my life” and people saying she’ll be the new presenter. That would be a huge mistake

Would Eamonn have spoken up about the fetid nature of the industry if he hadn’t been personally affected by the incestuous nature of tv?
I wonder if Ruth with leave YMU at any point. She is adding to the PS coffers by staying with them. Eamonn is with another management company. It would stick in my craw to be at YMU. You can see why they were all leant on to do the big supportive coming out debacle. I would like Eamonn to reveal what he really felt about being used then.
