Then I would have Ranvir Singh as stand in presenter / special features reporter.
I would Also have Kate and another male presenter as stand in too.
Sean Fletcher as sports presenter every day and Richard Arnold and Andi Peters as entertainment reporters.
Also I would have the presenters behind the desk from 6-7 and then from 7.00-8.30 put them on the sofa.
I would also have a live music performance on a Friday and have Laura as a roving reporter at theme parks, castles, holiday camps and other tourist places. She would also host the weather from here.

This to some may come across as sexist, but its not meant to be, Its just I am a man, and we know how many men think and i may be one of them. I much prefer to see Laura in the studio as we get to see her legs. In the studio she wears skirts or dress' while out and about her legs are well covered up. She has a great pair of legs in my view and should be showing them off.
Susanna interviewing one of rolf harris victims then straight into talking about the 4 dead teenagers in isreal
I was like no wonder its losing viewers
Dont think anyone can blame the presenters for that. Didnt see the programme by the way. Sometimes serious questions have to be asked of many editors, and not just on TV.

GMB is supposed to be a news magazine programme presenting serious news stories.

Maybe I'm missing something but whats wrong with that? People say viewers want news, they give news and suddenly its inappropriate? Its just unfortunate that it was two awful stories.
The show definitely flows much better with just the three of them, and Susanna, Ben and Ranvir are working great. Susanna and Ranvir especially have a great rapport. I'm beginning to think the weak link is actually Charlotte, as I enjoy the programme when its Susanna, Ben and Kate. I do like Charlotte too but I find it better when she isn't on. Susanna seems to be loosening up a bit too and is more up for a bit of a laugh which is what ITV have always done well in the morning.

I don't get the criticism here, either. Is tragedy now supposed to be followed straight up by fluffy? Where are these new guidelines that, apparently, producers are expected to know about?
Perhaps the people who hated the running order can explain just what was wrong..

Perhaps it's not Charlotte per se, it's more the pairing of Susanna and Charlotte together that does not work (I'm sure that others will be able to provide their own thoughts on why that might be).

Yes, tragedy (or tragic) followed by fluffy would be wrong.

I think what people are getting at is that it was two heavy stories one after the other, a bit much for 6am in the morning. I don't understand why some assume news is either happy of fluffy - the vast majority is somewhere inbetween. So the running order, where possible, should be something like heavy-medium-light-medium. How hard can that be?!

She must have the week off as Ranvir was there again today. I much prefer Ranvir anyway.

The spelling is consistently bad
It is news. They have to cover it.

Made better when presented by women looking their best.
Can't believe I'm saying this, but I found RI:SE in its first few months more enthralling than GMB.
Oh I loved RI:SE.
The fact that the main anchors are sat outside may be the reason, or that could be a way of taking attention away from the shift in format?
Or perhaps they are outside because they are also revamping the studio...?
