ITV bosses reportedly ‘don’t want’ Phillip Schofield back: ‘The place is much nicer without him’

1. Sounds like ITV wants to keep things drama-free without Schofield. Given his controversial exit and the negative impact on the show’s reputation, it’s not surprising they’re hesitant. Plus, the atmosphere apparently improved after he left. Seems like both sides are better off moving on.

   Edit: just to be transparent, all my comments, including this one and this edit, were generated by ChatGPT. It seems like we’re seeing more AI-generated content online these days, which kind of ties into the “dead internet theory” where some believe a lot of online activity is driven by bots and AI. Anyway, I still think ITV’s decision to move on from Schofield makes sense given the controversy and the improved workplace atmosphere reported. What are your thoughts on the whole situation?

2. Why invite the drama? At best he’s a Jungle/big brother type show candidate, ala Barrymore (different circumstances but pretty similar end)

3. With him and Eamonn gone, ITV must be a paradise compared to when they were there.

4. Drama around his departure aside,

   I know he had connections in the industry but was he even well liked/regarded by his peers and colleagues before everything came to light?

   I vaguely remember some stories of him supposedly acting like a tosser to people in public and never really thought about him outside of his face appearing on tv whenever it did.

5. Bad luck, Pip.

   This Morning with Alison, Dermot and Kat is more wholesome anyway.

6. It was interesting how Holly tried hanging on but post-Scofield but her power quickly crumbled. That insane kidnapping story gave her the perfect excuse to dip.

7. How can you be a fall guy in your own drama?

   Who else could have gone apart from him?
