@sunshine45   You are talking about Dan Wheeler aren't you?  Not Dan Hughes?

I find it very difficult to believe her sales weren't high.  She's also the only truly knowledgeable gardening host they have.  Love it or hate it, D&C sells like crazy.

 

Gary must be very sad.  Goodbye squirrels.

Do you think Gary might be next? He's 66yo last I checked.  With him gone they can start with a new batch of fresh faces. Might be just what the brand needs.

No, Dan Hughes.  It's been reported he was let go too.

Agree with all you said  Maybe she was offered a package she could not refuse.  

 

Just a very surprising and shocking person to lay off, imo

 

She is getting  a lot of love on her FB page....sad......

@@Dan too. I'm shocked by all of this. Pat and Mary Beth are older too. I hope they are staying. I like all of them. I believe Carolyn has good sales numbers. This is really sad.

@geezerette  Wow, I would not have expected that.  He is/was a staple.

@sunshine45 , wait, Dan, too!? Woman Surprised  I am clearly behind in my QVC news.  I was just watching Dan & Pat the other day.  They are always so good together.  Sure, Dan can do his standup comedy routine, but that's Dan.  He is likeable because he is calm in his presentations and not over the top.

 

I have edited to  remove the old FB note Dan had posted way back in 2016 (which I had failed to notice).  It was causing confusion.

@Kachina624    I think you are spot on.... Carolyn is 60ish, battled Cancer and her Hubby has health issues... retirement probably sounds good to her about now... she worked a lot and deserves to enjoy.

 

My Hubby worked for the same big aerospace company for 35 years... in 2017 he was offered a  retirement incentive that we could not pass up $$$$$$$. He took it and never looked back. Best thing he ever did.
