Emmerdale New Producer Revealed
The new chief already has experience at Emmerdale as she worked as the programme's story editor from 2010 until earlier this year, when she landed the job of assistant producer at Corrie.
Oh dear I hope this doesn't mean she is going to continue the frankly bizarre vision that SB had for the show. Corrie has hardly been on top form lately either.
I will reserve judgement of course and good luck to her, she's going to need it.

So she's been one of the main players during the Stuart Blackburn disaster and the horrific year that Corrie has had i cant say this news fills me with joy but i shall give her a chance to see what she can do before i start the savaging!

It's the DS way. I'm surprised people even bother watching since most of their reactions are pre-programmed.

Isn't that exactly what the two posters immediately proceeding you said they would do?
The only two replies on the thread at that point, I might add
In fairness it is a reaction to hearing that she has worked on the show alongside SB and may have potentially had some influence over the last couple of years of the show which have been a disaster.
If the article had not said that then I would have not been anything but positive about her appointment.
But I did say I would give her a chance and wished her luck.

Thank you!
I'm willing to give her a chance, she can't do any worse than Blackburn has, hes had some truly abhorrent ideas..

Agreed
Whiston commented: "Kate swept into Emmerdale a couple of years ago with a deadly combination of determination and brio.
What the hell is brio

TBF Stuart Blackburn was story editor during Gavin Blyth's brilliant era but as a producer he's been a disaster.
I wish good luck to the new producer.
Hmmm... Yes this lady hasn't occupied a producer position on a televised soap before, and couldn't nor shouldn't be judged on the quality of her work until her episodes begin to air.
However, her TV soap production credentials - namely short stints under Misters Collinson and Blackburn in what haven't exactly been glory periods for Coronation Street or Emmerdale - coupled with the fact Mr B has to all intent and purposes been 'promoted' (in industry terms at least) through his transfer to CS - set off the alarming warning bell that ITV clearly approve of the current standard of Emmerdale. This seems to be type of output they want to air at 7pm.
The recruitment of someone whose TV experience to date has been contributions to 2011's Emmerdale and 2012's Corrie doesn't exactly fill me with confidence about the direction ITV want to take the show in.
I would be feeling much more positive had Mr B been slung out of ITV for good and a more experienced name brought in to replace him.
Still, looking on the bright side, it would be extremely hard (not to mention bad luck) to find someone with quite so much disdain for four decades of solid characterisation, and quite so blind to viewer criticism as Mr B has systematically proven to be. Wouldn't it?
EDIT: I just read that she produced The Archers for several years - I don't know anything about The Archers except that it is rural-based - so maybe this is a step in the right direction after all. It would be interesting to hear from some Archers fans what she was like on there.
