I really can't see this being a good sign for EE. Obvs I cant comment till I've seen what she can come up with, but I didn't like her as a soap reporter, and found her EE mad. She talked over HO all the time. She definetely wasn't unbiased and wasn't the on the panel for the BSAs?
Who knows, maybe she'll have good plans for it and hopefully put her *ahem* opinions to good use. As a soap viewer and observer, she probably has a good idea of what the audience wants, and that may be a handy thing to have, because she has viewer perspective and writing/journalism qualities.
I dunno, I hope she knows what she's doing, for the sake of EE.
