Apparently opening her own Pilates studio, i think she’s always had some Pilates links on the side so not hugely surprising.

A few of us predicted on here earlier in the year, when she announced she was qualifying to be a Pilates teacher, that this could be a sign that she might move on.

With Hattie going, Lynn going a few months ago, Rachael Hatton mysteriously vanishing a few months ago, and that Josie going after presenting a whopping two shows - plus the fact that Jeff is off tonight (because he was on this morning instead) yet they haven't brough in a freelancer to cover, it makes you wonder if things still aren't great financially so they're deciding to leave before it's too late.
 
Wow! No more screeching, but it might mean more troth, primal or CBD fillers! 😳 They need to change things up anyway.

i just hope she doesn’t yell at clients. She sounds like my old horse riding coach, they screech instructions at you

I expect they'll get Derek in for late night shifts unless they rerun hours from earlier in the day. Great if you suffer from insomnia and it's a Droning Troth hour though, you'd be asleep in no time! 😴

I think they've burnt their bridges with Derek. He went full time, but then he wasn't seen again after the redundancies last year - so I doubt he'll be in a rush to go back.

Their freelancer of choice before the redundancies was gobby Clair Cummins - but they don't seem to be using freelancers at the moment either, so my gut instinct, as she's been covering a lot of Gems TV recently is that Vicky Gordon will become Hattie's replacement.

I suspect when Jess Foley goes on maternity leave, they'll just get Lindsey Carr to cover more, as she does now, with others chipping in too to bridge the gaps too - perhaps people like Jim or Cheralene.

As an outside bet, they may take Millie on again yet again - but after losing her job three times, she might just be happy freelancing now and again instead.

The sensible option would probably move Jim across to replace Hattie and bring Nick back to Gem Collector more permanently but there’s essentially no chance of that happening. Hattie and Jess (temporarily) will both be bigger losses than Lynn as they both regularly bothered to attend work, covered other slots on occasion and largely worked through the school holiday weeks when others take time off.

If only Gemporia did sensible.

Jim suits Gemporia - and that would be the logical move. I like Jim - but his style of presenting doesn't suit Gem Collector. However, I doubt they'd move him and give him a daytime slot because I heard from a reliable source a few years ago that Jim's sales figures are a lot lower than other presenters - hence why he's always been on late shifts. How true that is, I don't know - but I have no reason to doubt the source.

I'd love to see Nick back on Gem Collector full time. I'd possibly even start watching regularly again if they take the addition step of making prices more realistic again too. Nick, in my opinion, was the best presenter on Gem Collector - closely followed by Lara De-Leuw and Katie Ho.
 
Kate mentioned she will be doing more shows, which means filling in the day slot for either Hattie or Jess. I don’t know if Jeff likes midnight, as the 4x sale wheel, while fast paced, seems to go by fast with banter. Same with Steph. So both may want to stay put in their time slots. With Rosie, Jim and Milly around, i’m sure they won’t need too many more presenters.

Jeff has another weekday job - so I doubt he'd move from the weekend night slot.
