The Afternoon Show

1966

whats the story on why Sheena is off the show?

heard one of the papers covered it yesterday but didn't read the article ???

deisemum

I read that she's off sick with vertigo on another site

Our man in Havana

The Irish Daily Mail is alleging that the other presenter made an inappropriate comment towards her.

fifomania

Heard different stories but would you honestly miss her from the show!? :rolleyes:

KeyLimePie

I despise sheena
bring back anna nolan i say

Our man in Havana

The afternoon show is facing the axe in a cost saving measure at RTÉ. It will be cheaper to replace it with re-runs of Australian soap operas.

Friday's Daily Mail, Page 5

I remember hearing rumours a few years ago that her and Blathnaid didn't talk when they were off air at all. Might not be true but it just sprung to my mind there when I heard what the Daily Mail were alleging.

student2009

anyone know the actual reason now why shes off and when she'll be back?

She has vertigo apparently. I never knew you could be out sick with vertigo. Must remember that one.

Our man in Havana

Cop out excuse tbh.

If I was off sick, I would like nothing better than to stay in bed watching a Hitchcock classic as well ;-)

Fainting, nausea, vomiting.....yeah how would that keep you off work?

Our man in Havana

It won't matter when the show is replaced by Murder She Wrote.

Rumours Rumours

we love our Romours in ireland

I never noticed this thread before!
Myself and pals have been discussing this very person...Sheana. I was watcing the afternnoon show a couple of days and the aminosity between blathnaid and sheana was outrageous (outrageous cos my license fee is paying for these two and the least they can do is get on or at least pretend to get on..) Blathnaid was completely blanking Sheana, not looking directly at her, no banter between the two. Just really bad bad TV.
The last thing I want to look at is this kind of negativity and bad vibes at 3pm when I am relaxing while baby was asleep.
So, the day after I texted my friend to watch the pair of them blatantly ignoring each other and the next thing the AA roadwatch boy is on presenting and I havent seen Sheana since.
So, in a nutshell, my story is saying 'Vertigo, my arse.'

Alessandra

Never warmed to Sheana, she just seems a bit out of touch with reality.
Blathnaid is more down to earth and I would imagine she has a lot more pull in RTE than Sheana. Bit ridiculous if the two of them can't stand each other and have to work in such close quarters.

JonathanAnon

Sheana's a good looking girl, but I never liked her pouting style of presenting with those "sexy" pauses.

Milky Moo

That Blaithnaid one annoys me so much always going on about the recession making little comments about how its affecting her personally and then in the same breath talking about what good value 400e shoes and such are...GRRRR
Is there talk of it being pulled?please let it be true

Our man in Havana

There is talk of it and Seoige being pulled in a effort to balance the books in RTÉ.

Yay!!!I could never really understand why they had seoige on directly after another talk show,it just doesn't make sense.
It was just an excuse really to give some air time to Grainne me thinks

JonathanAnon

Watching Vincent Browne there, going through the headlines on tomorrow's papers. Sheana Keane taking a bullying case against RTE and Blánnidge. So they say, was one of the red tops, not sure which. Guess we will know more tomorrow.

Jeapy

Has anyone read the sun this morning to get the story? Just heard it mentioned on Ireland AM...still in bed!:D

smithrdn

May be payment issues that are keeping her away from the show

JonathanAnon

okay, has anyone got the text from the article? I cant get my hands on it online anywhere.

Can't get an online copy but it just said Sheana has filed an official complaint to RTE bosses about Blathnaid claiming that she has been bullied by her colleague. Sun rang Blathnaid for comment and she hung up.

Our man in Havana

If there is any truth to it would RTÉ not have suspended Blathnaid pending the outcome of any complaint?

nellie07

I always had great time for blathnaid but now I think she has gotten way too big for her boots, she thinks shes great, and always like you said going on about her magimixer which costs over 500 euro, recession me ass.

snowy2008

my niece saw blathnaid once in town and she said she was really rude to the staff in the shop and even said the words....do you know who i am...says everything doesnt it....did anyone see the show today???

nellie07

oh the wagon!!!:p

I think it's made by Tyrone Productions or some other company so I would have thought she would have brought the complaint to them. I could be wrong.

It could be irrelevant if the show gets cancelled. If it does my suggestion would be to put Sheana Keane on with the Seoige sisters, call it Sheana & Seoige. ;-)

Here is more information for people who didn't read the Sun yesterday (claims and allegations, no proof):

Cannot STAND Blathnaid, rubbish interviewer, prefers the sound of her squeaky voice to that of the poor interviewee, have you ever noticed not one of her guests manages to say anything without B inanely blabbing in a pathetic rise & fall manner all sorts of irrelevant & totally uninteresting asides.... <snip>

Our man in Havana

Serious accusations being made there!

Unfounded rumour and innuendo. Exactly what I was looking for thanks.
Do you think they could do one of those celebrity boxing matches for charity. Blá is a big bird though, and she looks pregnant at the moment, so we might have to put it on hold. And either way I dont know if even Katie Taylor would jump in the ring with Blá

nellie07

why would blathnaid hang up when the newspapers rang her if she had nothing to hide, why wouldnt either herself or Sheana put rest to the rumours. no smoke without fire

Our man in Havana

Indeed. There has to be something to all the allegations.

watna

some snippage there as some of the allegations were a bit dodgy. I'm taking advice on this.

It is part of an internal investigation and litigation could stem from it. She was wise not to comment.

I'd have to agree completely. She is easily one of the worst interviewers on TV, pays little or no attention to what her interviewee is saying with the result that there is no flow to her interviews.

Snake Plisken

did she mention it on Fridays afternoon show? Shes a wagon, they should get that other ugly bully in to partner her Amanda Brunker, match made in heaven, guarenteed to get the show cancelled!

Jesus yeah what a battle that would be. Though would Amanda not be in a different weight division now that she is a size 8? Good bless her for employing some of our out of work brikkies to build her a concrete corset.

Why are people expecting her to comment on it outside of a formal setting?

nellie07

because when Blathnaid was off sick previous to this, sheana and the gang were always wishing her well on the show and saying things like hope you're watching blathnaid. None of thats happening since Sheana has gone, so she is obviously not sick with vertigo as reported, otherwise blathnaid should be wishing her well.

Hate it when blathnaid wears pink lipstick with her red hair by the way.

These are two vastly different things altogether

nellie07

why? If there is no truth in the rumours and sheanas said 'vertigo' is the reason she is off then they should be wishing her well.

but because as we all know there is some truth in blathnaid bullying her no one is wishing her well as she is obviously taking some sort of action on how she has been treated.

teednab-el

ok lads back to the topic,

I cant understand Blaithnaid at all. She is so full of herself and it wouldnt be the first time that she got into trouble in the past few weeks, remember the All-Ireland talent show for example. The thing that annoys me most about Blaithnaid is that when there's cooking going on in the show, she seems to eat everything...munching in to everything on the table .It's just ignorant and rude in my opinion .

watna

Right - I've just deleted 11 posts in this thread for being very dodgy and utter bollocks and referencing the dodgyness.

albert-bundy - don't post in this thread again or I will infract/ban you and before you post in this forum again read the forum charter. We require sources to back up stories - not some story you heard from your mate down the pub. That can get boards.ie in serious trouble.

This makes my head hurt.
