I agree Helen should have a longer slot on Lorraine but some times it seem's as though Lorraine seems to rush helen on or try's to talk over Helen . I wounder if deep down perhap's Lorraine feels a bit threatened having a younger person on perhaps she thinks if Helen is on too long she might get more attention and possibly take over Lorraine's job. I think Lorraine is all right but you never know producers might think a younger person could attract a bigger audiance. As in most job's these day's when you are a certain age. Employers seem to like younger people I don't suppose you can blame them.
