Carol McGiffin leaving Loose Women

Don't you think it's strange that her departure hasn't been mentioned this week on Loose Women ? I know she didn't tell them at the end of the last series but could have had some recognition having been there 10 years ?

    Bad feeling? I don't know but it's difficult to see this surviving much longer. I'm not really a viewer but when we're left with the likes of Sherrie Hewson, Sally Lindsay, Lisa Maxwell and foghorn Vorderman it's unwatchable anyway.

    Carol and Janet Street Porter are the only presenters I like on this show, so now I'll only be watching when it's a JSP day.

    I noticed this as well. I also thought they'd have been gushing about her being on BB but it was only mentioned when Rylan came in.

    I read somewhere that she jumped before she was pushed which makes it all the more strange if they were planning on getting rid of her.

    I've only managed to sit through one episode this week. Her and JSP were the two best presenters and I had to turn off this week when JSP was arguing with awful Sherrie and Lisa. I just don't think I'll be tuning in anymore.

    Totally agree, I used to love watching Loose women in the old days, but the ones they have on now are dire :(

    I like Sally Lyndsay as an actress but can't stand her on LW, Lisa just needs to shut up as for Sherrie well she's awful.

    I had the misfortune to meet CV a few years ago, so far up her own aris it was unbelievable :D

    Liked Carol and JSP so with Carol gone I doubt I'll even bother to catch occaisionally :mad:
    I don't think Janet will stay long either. :mad:

    Isn't she being replaced with the good doctor herself, Pamela Stephenson?

    The new boss of ITV Daytime was the producer of Loose Women when it started. She obviously hates what it has become (a gaggle of cackling harridans who sound as if they're on a permanent hen night) and wants to turn it back into the relatively intelligent discussion programme it once was. She's going to need a whole new panel.

    I must admit I was so surprised they never even mentioned Carol leaving, and only briefly mentioned her being on Celeb Big Brother. When Denise was on it last year, they talked about her antics every single day!

    Maybe they are peed off cos Carol did not tell them personally, but she told Louie on BB that she just couldn't face going back after the Summer, and had run out of stories to tell. It was also interesting that she said they don't really socialise or see eachother outside the show, as the impression they create is that they are always out with eachother.

    You could tell Carol was coasting on the show for the past couple of years, and looking bored.
    I hope she goes onto better things, in radio, where she was always very good.

    I watched one show this week where Jane sounded as thick as 2 short planks when talking about politics.
    And the episode where Sherrie - who should've been replaced years ago! - told Janet that she can't comment about children's education "because you're not a parent" was a low blow. I thought JSP was going to wallop her, and she'd have deserved it!
    Keep JSP and replace everyone else.

    Maybe they should have given the boot to the other Carol, the Vorderthing.
    Not that I watch Loose Harpies if I can help it

    I don't watch Loose Women but after seeing Carol on CBB I can only hope she finds a remote cottage somewhere and lives out her days there.

    I am NOT a a fan.

    Really? I'm surprised I thought she was the safest one there. The early days with Kaye and Nadia produced good TV, now it's pretty bad tho' Carol is probably the best panellist they have (had)

    I hope that doesn't mean she will be appearing on every "celeb" show just to get her face on tv!

    Carol said it was all her own choice and not to do with anything else..I am sure many of you won't believe her
    I am sure she said she does hang out with SOME of them just not all. Andrea said good luck to Carol at the end of Friday's show but yet it is strange no official mention of her leaving..normally though if someone leaves they get a last show to at least say something even if they were sacked.
    Other people have said they can imagine her going back as a guest to say goodbye but I am not sure if she will?

    I think she should go back for a farewell show and to talk about BB

    I read somewhere that she is leaving the UK and moving to Asia

    Have watched the first 20 minutes of last week's episodes on catch up and am stunned no mention of Carol! What is that about, the producers I guess.

    I too couldn't stand to watch that gobshite jsp shouting down lisa and sherrie. even though sherrie says the dumbest things. jsp is absolutely hideous in her personality, wish they would dump her and sherrie.

    They seem to have made the debate over current headlines a bit longer which didn't need it in my opinion and those facebook comments from public appearing on screen is a bit poop.

    And what has Andrea done to her face around the eyes? bit too much botox !

    Any respect Janet Street Porter had engendered during her tenure as a serious journalist has been utterly undermined by her appearance on this trashy, tabloid garbage. The last time I saw her on it, she was spouting drivel about women being the 'superior' sex. She was a parody of herself, but it got the geriatrics in the audience howling with delight.

    WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

    I used to think Andrea was quite pretty but she sure looks strange these days, don't know what she's done but its certainly not for the better.

    I thought the same and it seems to me her nose has got bigger in some way, I used to think she was pretty but that's gone now :o

    I really, really wish Carol hadn't appeared on CBB as I'm afraid I went right off her, and I have a feeling she might also realise it's been a mistake. I too was always a big fan of hers on LW, and together with JSP, enjoyed the whole, brutally honest - tell it how it is - take on life!

    However, you realise that's all okay in the relatively short bursts you see on LW. However, on CBB when they're scrutinised for 24 hours a day, it was clear that after the initial "fun" and novelty of the first couple of days, with little to occupy them, a continuously plastered Carol, became pretty mean and spiteful to all the HM's with no signs of a filter to say enough is enough, or signs of contrition and little to redeem her! Shame.
