Re-united!
Today, for the first time in over 3 months, our entire 7-person Morning News team was together for the show- Larry, Robin, Paul, Val, Dean, Anna and me- local TV's equivalent of a "Jerry Springer" guest list.
It felt good.
As you know, Val and Anna started all the disruption by going off and getting knocked up.
Then, once they came back, Robin and Larry were each off on the kinds of winter breaks normally reserved for college students.
We should thank everyone who came off the bench to eat up some valuable minutes during this time- Erin Mendez, Marcella Raymond, Tom Negovan, etc. Gentlemen, I'm not sure when Erin will next appear on our show, so please stop with the letters.
It was nice having different combinations of people to work with. For instance, when Val and Marcella co-anchored the show together, I enjoyed a little break. Those two can talk so much that I barely had to say a word all 4 hours. I felt like a cast-member of "The View."
But as much fun as that was, it's good to have the original team back. Plus, I know Tom wanted to be back on his normal shift, and Marcella was nervous she'd miss out on the season's first "Wind Chill Advisory" live shot (made it back just in time!).
Everybody wins now.

I was happy to see the whole gang back together. The helpouts did a great job, but it just wasn't the same.

I'd love to see more of Marcella as a fill-in anchor. Over the holidays, Val and Marcella were a great duo to wake up to!!!

Is Erin Mendez single? She is beautiful and I read that she is Irish/Mexican. I'm German/Spanish, so we have something in common. Anyway, I would very much like to ask her out if she's single. Thanks!
