Will This Morning be axed ?? What will be her next step -will she be let brave it out on her return date scheduled for the 5th June by ITV ??
Will She stay put / be ousted / dropped by advertisers?
Bad bad publicity being part of a toxic atmosphere- Will/can Dan save her "career"?? im intrigued . why cant they let new talent come in??
Alison H must be worried too.what if TM faces the axe ??

Hollys has zero journalistic background to speak of just a pretty face ( Sorry )
Packaged herself as a double act with Phil. The P and H show.
The fakery / the silly drunken staged antics after award cermonies
Taking the viewers for stupid morons who actually could see through their fake laughs etc etc.
Not as popular as She thought.

I do feel sorry for her as She basically backed the wrong person with her whole career. and now her back peddling is not a good look. she didnt have a questionable affair with a much younger colleague who she met at age 15 and who She was a powerful figure over but by her association is her career dead in the water ???/ salvagable

Maybe she could retrain as a teacher?
🤔That is very insulting to teachers.

Her husband masterminded the whole cult of Phil and Holly. Perhaps he has some new ideas in the pipeline?

HW has no formal journalistic training or qualifications. I doubt she could write a press release if you held a gun to her head. She is literally just a pretty face, reading from notes and a tele prompter.

A journalist's skills would only need to extend to reading press releases, not writing them. So I assume Holly would be just fine. Wink

Surely she's got more than enough cash, it doesn't really matter if she has a job or not.

Interested in this thread?

It’s not her poor behaviour that’s the problem… I’m not her biggest fan but it’s not her fault!

Exactly

She knew about them it is also her fault.

milveycrohn · 01/06/2023 11:50

I don't like HW, but they can't axe the program without having something else to replace it.
HW will either pair with someone else, or continue with her other projects

I really hate it when a woman is blamed for a man’s actions. Abhor it.

your post op is almost salivating at the thought of her losing her gig on this morning. She’s under contract for much more than this morning, has many side gigs, and will be fine. With out without this morning.

She should have said something and now she looks bad with him.

Don’t be ridiculous. And she says he denied it, which is likely to be true. So she suspected. What do you expect her to do, resign, stay home, publicly accuse. It is not her fault Schofield had a relationship with this man

Talk anonymously to the papers. Who informed the papers of P affair?

Elior · 01/06/2023 11:54

There are other sleazebags out there in the industry who will admire her loyalty and see it as a positive thing that she chose to turn a blind eye (which I believe is how HW and Dan Baldwin played it).

Summerfun2023 · 01/06/2023 11:57

Eamon Holmes is not keeping quiet he is fuming.

WeAreTheHeroes · 01/06/2023 11:58

I feel sorry for her having people who do not know her carrying out full scale character assassinations, including dismissing her talents as "just a pretty face" online under the guise of "feeling sorry for her". Nasty, bitchy gossiping.

So now that ITV have ordered a review and Philip has gone people aren’t content with that and need to start on Holly.

I genuinely think that there are people who won’t be happy until someone kills themselves over this.

And meanwhile the bloke who PS had the affair with is being discussed across the length and breadth of the country whether he wanted to be or not. I bet the tabloids have been camped on his doorstep for weeks now and journalists will be salivating every time he opens his front door.

As to whether she knew about the affair, so what if she did? If she was culpable in him grooming a child that would be one thing, if not and all she knew about was the affair then meh. It wasn’t palatable but the actual affair wasn’t illegal, and people have affairs all the time. The media is rife with it, In fact you’d be hard pressed to find someone in the media who hasn’t had an affair.

No, I don’t think it’s ok that he had an affair with such a young man, no, I wouldn’t approve of it, but something being immoral doesn’t make it illegal or anyone else responsible for it. The issue here is the grooming. That needs investigating by proper channels.

MillieMollieMandy1 · 01/06/2023 12:04

This Morning will struggle to get guests especially if HW remains on the sofa - there has been so much bad press that people will not want to be associated with the programme - plenty of other morning programmes who will help you sell your book/film.

Adifferentheadspace · 01/06/2023 12:16

I don’t particularly like Holly, but your post is just spiteful. Jealous?

Snugglemonkey · 30/05/2023 22:01

I think TM will be cancelled. It should be realk6. It looks as toxic as NOTW now.

What’s NOTW?

Summerfun2023 · 01/06/2023 12:21

I don't think HW career should be over there are other projects she can do. I think returning back could be difficult it's how she plays it and what she says next. She has been quiet and sent one tweet on the matter. It's all about trust and whether people can separate the two of them. By the sounds of it PS got his way a lot of the time. The papers are showing a clip of when he gave the young lad some whisky on telly. They all knew and they let him get away with it.

Elior · 01/06/2023 12:25

HW could well play her usual ditzy card and say that she missed the warning signhs because she was gullible and trusting. Her difficulty is that her non-gullible spouse also worked on the show and it is unlikely that he missed it too and that they never compared notes over years and years.

MMc was someone from his personal life whom he brought into his professional environment and she would have found it awkward to whistleblow on a (sort of) nepo kid whom she only met via PS. and whom he seemed to be looking out for

However, she is a completely self-absorbed person as seen in how she treated her neighbours during her never-ending building works. It is not a crime to be self-absorbed, obviously, but when one is that self-absorbed then they could miss the obvious. grooming/inappropriate relationship.

MillieMollieMandy1 · 01/06/2023 12:31

@Adifferentheadspace - why spiteful? and no I am not jealous of HW. Think it is pretty obvious that in the world of 'celebrity' where 'brand' is everything that it will be more difficult for This Morning to attract guests with all the bad press surrounding TM and HW.

She's not a talented or especially charismatic presenter. Both her and Phil constantly talking over guests. It's supposed to be lighthearted entertainment but some of their interactions with guests are so cringey as they both interrupt and challenge at the same time.

Im sure she has other talents/hobbies but also, none of us know what they are. So, it's fair enough that people question what she'd do.

I'll get called a hater now for not having a glowing opinion. She's pretty and stylish, she's not to blame for PS and she may not have known. Also not a stand-out presenter.

Elior · 01/06/2023 12:37

She is never a stand out presenter but she has played the game well. There were always better presenters like Sara Cox who were not willing to do go that far.

TeaYarn · 01/06/2023 12:44

She will be negotiating an exit fee as we speak. She’s in a powerful position. She wants to stay. ITV will want rid of her. If they get rid of her it implies that she (and in turn them) knew more than they claim. If ITV keep her then Monday will be a circus.

I hope she steps down over the weekend, just for her own reputation. But she has ITV by the balls right now. It wouldn’t surprise me if TM was rebranded on Monday as the HW Show lol 😂
