Regardless, no-one needs a constant reminder of who presented on what day. It's pointless, and clogs up the thread. Most of the commenters on the the thread know who was presenting.
By your logic, anyone who sits at the desk is a "temporary" presenter. Does that include experts etc, who sometimes sit at the desk now?
I'm a conveyancer (semi retired) who mainly works from home & its the dead time of year so i'm watching a bit more breakfast TV than normal. I was curious to find out how much of the time in the 2 1/2 hrs Susanna Reid and her co host actually spend on air talking/linking etc.. so today I did an experiment (yes I already know it was a sad use of time) and according to the stopwatch on my laptop John/Susanna's segments/ links accounted for just under 59 mins of content with the rest being the adverts, Charlotte reading the news, sport, correspondent reports, weather, local news/weather, competitions etc.. Even taking account of post/pre show meetings it would seem a GMB TV presenters (or any TV presenter) life is pretty cushy.
That's what I call a glutton for punishment, but interesting none the less - particularly as it does seem to point to Susanna/co-host having more of the screen time where as Charlotte was just reading the headlines. There is presumably as set amount of time they have to have adverts so there is not much you can do about that.
Probably a bit late now given how long she's got left but couldn't they swap Susanna and Charlotte over occasionally and it seemed to work well with Kate and Charlotte together last week, assume of Friday if it is Ranvir then she will take up the left hand chair with Charlotte in the centre chair.
There must be some form of psychology as to why they've changed the order of the presenters?
As for a cushy life as a TV presenter? Not sure I could endure getting up at 02:45 in the morning, although agreed they're on their way home whilst I'm still on my 3rd cup of tea of the morning - think I remember seeing Charlotte leaving the studios just after 10.
Dont think psychology was involved,Susanna was main presenter at Breakfast,Charlotte was co-host on sunrise,GMB pays them more money to do the job they did on their previous shows.
Only prediction I would make for 2015 is for the newshour to return presented by John and Ranvir.
My reason for saying newshour may return is on the basis of the news ticker is now on between 6am and 7am as it was when daybreak was on.
Kelvo if you're talking about seating arrangements, perhaps because Charlotte is pregnant and needs to pee perhaps her new seat is closer to the toilet.
Perhaps GMB just want to be different if you watch breakfast or sunrise its girl right,boy left as you look at the TV screen.

Susanna has tweeted that her alarm goes off at 3:30 so you would think the quickest she could be at the studios for is around 4.00am and that's pushing it! She has also tweeted a few times around 9.30am that she is leaving ITV studios so it would seem to be a 5 1/2 hour shift max with probably an hour of that sat in the make up/hair chair while reading scripts? They might as well have to do some research at home but I imagine they will also have a lot of ITV researchers/script writers doing most of the leg work. Also occasionally they go to award bashes, odd promotion work and film premieres which I suppose is technically work but a normal 4 day week would appear to be around 22hrs.
I think that's pretty cushy even with the early start, having said that Susanna has worked her way from the bottom to get where she is and I suppose the odds for anyone starting out as a trainee reporter and then climbing the ladder to land a main breakfast presenting gig must be pretty poor at the offset. I imagine it is fiercely competitive, lots of back biting, jealousy etc.. also probably a bit of luck needed along the way i.e. right time right place etc..

I like GMB but come the new year i feel there will be no desk, a red sofa and a lot more orange! Personally, i think the graphics do look better but i think there was no real need to axe the ticker and even if they have permanently , why leave the other graphics floating

The only other graphic floating is the logo and clock and the clock is has too stay
I thought the present wrapping segment this morning did not really need the fake acting bit where Kate 'accidentally' got some sellotape in her hair. Are these 'accidents' (e.g. putting sugar into a glass of coke and pretending to be shocked when it flows over the top) the only way GMB can create interest in the show. Is this kind of Tom and Jerry bollocks really the way to make the show successful? It seems they are trying to drive internet chatter/You Tube views about the show? maybe this is what the advertisers need these days?
This is quite interesting from the ITV webpage for advertisers who potentially want to advertise on GMB. The ITV sales team have "a close working relationship with our editorial team which means that we are in a unique position to tie-in advertising with programming content. http://www.itvmedia.co.uk/opportunities/tv-advertising/Good-Morning-Britain-opportunities/advertising-opportunities-on-breakfast
So it seems basically the content of the show can be changed to meet the needs of the advertisers. Maybe this why GMB are trying to make the show about the presenters rather than the content? If people tune in to watch the presenters rather than the content than ITV will possibly be in a better position to use the content to flog stuff?
I dont know what she borrowed but Ranvir is much more curvier than Laura so I doubt it was a dress or top. But Ranvir did post saying she could have ended up hosting the news in an xmas jumper so it must have been a dress or top or it might not have actually belonged to Laura. Anyway Well done Laura for saving the day.
Wonder how many more changes GMB are going to make before before it reaches its 1st birthday?
Just read an interview peter fincham did with the mirror back in may where he days it will take GMB up to 9 months to get up to the breakfast figures.Not long to go

I agree with the OP. And don't be rude.

No news ticker at all this morning
That's no way to describe Richard Arnold:D

I am sure Ranvir has realised by now that is where her career lies
On the GMB website the advertise the clothes Susanna,Charlotte and Kate wear and where you can get them.
what shifts must they work if she's on News at Ten tonight and then presenting GMB in the morning?

Ranvir is back on GMB tomorrow
Just read an interview peter fincham did with the mirror back in may where he days it will take GMB up to 9 months to get up to the breakfast figures.Not long to go
December 22nd Ben,Susanna and Charlotte
December 23rd Ben,Susanna and Kate
December 24th Ben,Charlotte and Ranvir
A three day week and Susanna and Charlotte still get a day off.
Great news for those who normally can't get to see the show.
I take it will be pre recorded
Lorraine seemed a little surprised herself when she read the autocue saying she'd 'be back next week'.
Or coming live from her mansion in Dundee ?
