Chilly Onscreen Chemistry between the 6 p.m. cohosts of local Washington, DC ABC News
You can't create chemistry. And watching Cynee Simpson, right, and Gordon Peterson, left, trying to deliver the news together is painful. The body language speaks volumes. Gordon clearly being more uncomfortable than Cynne. Is it a generation gap? Does Gordon resent the young upstart? Is there personal animosity? Whatever it is, it clearly shows up onscreen. The news producers at the show can surely see it. It is further contrasted by the excellent chemistry between Simpson and her 5 pm cohost, Leon Harris. Gordon had and has great chemistry with legnedary local newscaster Maureen Bunyan. Of course, she is closer to his age. They also kind of came up together on the Washington, DC news scene. Maybe he just wants Maureen sitting next to him instead of Cynne.
