Is it me, or do Charlie Stayt and Susanna Reid hate each other?

He tries to catch her out with sarky humour that she doesn't get, and then she gets all snippy and defensive.

Either they hate each other, or they're having a passionate affair and are trying to cover their tracks.

Either way, it makes for uncomfortable viewing.

(Just in case people aren't as addicted to telly news as I am, I'm going on about news presenters on BBC Breakfast Grin)

..and had appalling chemistry with Bill

Chipotle · 29/05/2011 19:36

I've noticed to but I've always put it down to Charlie... He appears quite arrogant to me and not very friendly. I don't like his interview style at all.

52Girls · 29/05/2011 20:27

I like Kate Silverton's hair and I think she's more than capable of. holding her own - I can't say I've ever felt sorry for her, she's a v confident woman. Funny how we all see things quite differently, eh.

MissHonkover · 29/05/2011 21:02

I think she's a great news presenter, I would just like BBC wardrobe to swipe all Susanna's lovely tops and put Kate in them! Grin

I used to think Natasha Kaplinsky and Bill didn't get on, she used to make sarky comments to him.

EttiKetti · 30/05/2011 08:27

I can't bear Charlie, much prefer Bumbling Bill and his Bee talk :o

As for Sian, I am so glad I am not the only one to have noticed she sits like she has a broom handle up her back! So artificially straight! And she is so prim - I know its the BBC but still....

I can't warm to her at all and I love Breakfast!

Bue · 30/05/2011 11:38

I cannot stand Charlie. Arrogant so-and-so. The rest of them I'm quite fond of.

Vintagepommery · 30/05/2011 15:07

Haven't worked out which one Charlie State is but haven't liked Susanna Reid since she was unnecessarily bitchy/sarcastic to a fired Apprentice contestant.

MissHonkover · 02/06/2011 08:02

I take back everything I said about Kate's clothes, her maternity fashions are lovely! In fact, she suits pregnancy very well indeed I reckon.

Who as on with her today? I only rarely watch it. Think she looks great and thought they both got on well without that awful fake camaraderie.

AuntieMonica · 02/06/2011 09:23

please don't talk about my friends like this Blush

yes, the presenters on Breakfast are my friends.

or it seems like it, they are the only people who talk sense to me every morning Grin

lucyspangle · 03/06/2011 20:45

Do you think Susanna has got a babyliss big hair?
She's my girl crush
Sian is a perfect example of why you need to put 7lbs on once over 40
Bill and his bees-bless
Think he likes Carol the weather lady who always calls him Billy
Charlie looks as though he might be dirty.
Believe it or not I watch Breakfast for exactly 15 minutes between 7-15-7-30 whilst doing my makeup!!

MissHonkover · 04/06/2011 07:38

I think it depends on who's on make-up the days Susanna's on. She had excellent hair yesterday, a very glossy centre parted affair.

Yes, I never like to criticise ladies for being too slim, being as I am far too fat, but for whatever reason I've never really warmed to Sian.

Bill with or without his bees, love him. Yes, there's definitely some chemistry with him and Carol the weather lady (she needs to see an asthma doc, that raspy in-breath drives me mad!).

I fancy Charlie a bit, he's definitely the one I'd add to my dance card. Although if we can broaden out to reporters, I have a bit of a thing for Richard Wescott.

The elephant in the room here, of course, is Louise Minchin: for me far too simpering. When she smiles I'd like to poke her with a sharp stick.

in Charlie's defence, he once insisted on helping me to get dd1's buggy off the H37 bus. very nice chap.

Bue · 04/06/2011 09:03

Has anyone just seen Charlie likening the policeman who told women not to dress like sluts to a father telling his teenage daughter that her outfit is inappropriate? And he seemed genuinely perplexed that there was something wrong with saying this to women Hmm Susanna was giving him dagger stares. He is such a twat.

generalhaig · 04/06/2011 20:51

Charlie is absolutely lovely - have known him for years and years

Not at all arrogant and no, he's not having a secret affair Grin

LemoryMane · 04/06/2011 21:28

Susannah is about 90 times more intelligent than Charlie, and there in lies the problem (for Charlie, anyway).

I like her. She's sassy. Preferred her hair shorter, though.

lottiejenkins · 04/06/2011 22:52

I cant stand Louise Minchin. I remember when Philip Glenister was on and she was simpering over him and being verrrrrrrrry silly and teenagery when he called her Bolly Knickers at her request!!

SoapyBubbles · 05/06/2011 06:49

I'm so glad someone else thinks they hate each other. I find Charlie really arrogant and smug and i don;t like how he ignores Susannah's wee comments - it looks to me like he is trying to make her look silly and frivolous. No chemistry between them at all.

Romilly70 · 05/06/2011 07:17

I like Susannah and it looks like she makes the effort and Charlie just ignores her. I think they should dump Charlie; he is not memorable, but Susannah does have lush hair and is vaaairrr pretty!

MissHonkover · 06/06/2011 10:18

generalhaig, I'm rather glad to hear that he's lovely, that's two RL testimonials, you and CharlotteBronteSaurus with her pushchair.

I think both of them come off badly due to their lack of chemistry.

generalhaig, I demand to know whether they do really hate each other in RL!

Oh, I like Charlie. Have a tiny crush on him. Find Susannah a bit cold and wanted to dislike her as a ball-busting driven childless career woman (not that there's anything wrong with that btw, just stereotyping) but she's got 3 kids!

Sian is very thin but at least she's older than me and for the BBC, that is a good thing atm

Kate Silverton has an amazing mouth, have full lip envy

Meglet · 06/06/2011 16:09

Kate S looks delicious now she's pregnant.

Hadn't noticed the others being snippy with each other, will pay more attention in future.

NoWayNoHow · 07/06/2011 15:59

charlotte thank you for proving my DH wrong! We used to live round the H37's way, and I KNEW I'd seen Charlie crossing the road. DH said it couldn't have been, although never expanded on why. Maybe he thinks all TV presenters live in the bus shelter in White City?? Grin

RockThePots · 07/06/2011 17:23

By all accounts Bill isn't that nice in RL, apparently he is a bit of a dick.
