I find This Morning has lost its personal touch with Holly W, and Phil, it's SO DULL.&amp;nbsp;Sadly&amp;nbsp;Phil is now lacking in personality too now Fern has gone. She had a magic sparkle that made us all love&amp;nbsp;This Morning.&amp;nbsp;That went the day Holly was badly placed as the new front line act. She has no empathy, it is extremely boring to watch now.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I think todays show was so wonderful, both Kate and Pete very natural and endearing, wonderful choices for the show. Shame&amp;nbsp;they cant be on weekly or daily.&amp;nbsp;Pete is such a nice warm bloke and Kate is also a lovely personality. I would love it if they were on daily, what fun.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Even the dreaded&amp;nbsp;Eammon and Ruth are very entertaining to watch, especially recently&amp;nbsp;&amp;amp; seem to embrace their differences on air, which is very funny&amp;nbsp;to watch. Priceless&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Please get rid of Holly, who is plastic and personalityless. It is very boring to watch her. Luckily I never saw her before on TV, and I never want to again! &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;What do we have to do to get her out?&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Why not&amp;nbsp;put the wonderfully funny and charismatic Alison Hammond with Phil, who may then get his mojo back&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: General chit chat..HOLLY..</title><link>http://forums.itv.com/thread/884722.aspx</link><pubDate>Fri, 30 Oct 2009 11:22:31 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">b561de92-0a29-4f6c-9725-81efcf327865:884722</guid><dc:creator>hollowholly</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>http://forums.itv.com/thread/884722.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://forums.itv.com/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=41&amp;PostID=884722</wfw:commentRss><description>&lt;P&gt;All is forgiven.&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;RE:HOLLY WILLOUGHBY. What a terrible choice to be a day time presenter for a day time programme aimed at adults.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A certain amount of&amp;nbsp; genuine empathy is required &amp;nbsp;to interact with people on this show due to the sensitive issues it occasionally&amp;nbsp;covers.Hollow Holly has none, there might as well be a cardboard cut out on the sofa next to Philip as he is taking the support lead and she is very much background with her permanent smile she seems to use as a defence to&amp;nbsp;disguise the fact she is way out of her depth&amp;nbsp;.Is she pluged into an ear piece and being told what to say when to smile and and more important when not to?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Does she or her family&amp;nbsp;have personal links with the producers of the show or ITV? because i cannot see how else she would get this role?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Bring back children's TV and give her a job in between programmes if you have to but please get her off this programme.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: General chit chat....</title><link>http://forums.itv.com/thread/859459.aspx</link><pubDate>Mon, 20 Jul 2009 13:42:03 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">b561de92-0a29-4f6c-9725-81efcf327865:859459</guid><dc:creator>haydenchittell</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>http://forums.itv.com/thread/859459.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://forums.itv.com/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=41&amp;PostID=859459</wfw:commentRss><description>&lt;P&gt;yeah i agree&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;I think Fern is a very funny and clever presenter, her relationship with Phil justs emphasises her personality and will be missed on our favourite day time show. &lt;/P&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: General chit chat....</title><link>http://forums.itv.com/thread/858611.aspx</link><pubDate>Fri, 17 Jul 2009 10:55:22 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">b561de92-0a29-4f6c-9725-81efcf327865:858611</guid><dc:creator>what's the 411</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>http://forums.itv.com/thread/858611.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://forums.itv.com/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=41&amp;PostID=858611</wfw:commentRss><description>&lt;P&gt;Hi everyone!&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Oh how I will miss Fern B.&amp;nbsp; She really owns TM now.&amp;nbsp; I actually forgot Richard and Judy used to front it!&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I know he had to leave TM, but I still have very fond memories of John Leslie and Fern presenting together and Philip Schofield has done a great job since he took over.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I do have one little moan though.&amp;nbsp; Holly Willoughby is lovely, but surely it is know Alison Hammond's turn to take centre stage?&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Us, the viewers know her well and her showbiz interviews are brilliant - she must have interviewed more A-listers than anyone on TM and Holly W.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;She should be Holly W's 2nd at least - when she needs time off , holidays etc.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;What does everyone else think?&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;

It was such a shame what happened to him. I'm not going to go into too much about it all, but I had very strong feelings at the time. I still feel that what happened was very unfair and I thought&amp;nbsp;he had&amp;nbsp;been conveniantly forgotten by This Morning. I think ITV should give him another position somewhere he seems such as decent bloke. I remember him on Blue Peter years ago, I thought he was great then and I still do now. I just wanted to show my support for him that is all, and that there are still members of the public who would like to see him back on TV.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;Jules&amp;nbsp;x&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; luv yer Johnx</description></item><item><title>Re: General chit chat....</title><link>http://forums.itv.com/thread/858313.aspx</link><pubDate>Thu, 16 Jul 2009 10:13:37 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">b561de92-0a29-4f6c-9725-81efcf327865:858313</guid><dc:creator>0711rct</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>http://forums.itv.com/thread/858313.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://forums.itv.com/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=41&amp;PostID=858313</wfw:commentRss><description>&lt;P&gt;I will miss the great spark that phil and fern have.they have cheered me up for meny years and have been very entertaining.good luck with whatever you choose to do in the future fern and to the press stop giving fern a hard time!!!!!&lt;/P&gt;

He is just a down to earth man&amp;nbsp; and I love his sense of humour. I think Ruth is lovely and really sweet and very genuine actually. I actually think she's quite nervous at times, not overly confident, kind of modest and I think thats quite becoming in a person. All interviewing styles differ according to the presenters own make-up but I think Ruth and Eamon are both very sincere.I also think they're mad about each other and I love reading their article in a weekly magazine ( not too sure if I'm allowed to name it!). Yip, I'm a big fan!!</description></item></channel></rss>
