I’ve seen one person say that she thinks the tide shifted with David and Gillian after IBG 2010. I saw another say it wasn’t until 2013. I’m curious when YOU think it shifted. I know you always say without confirmation blah blah blah, but I’m interested in what you think. Personally my thought is that it happened during IWTB filming in 2007/8 because they had a lot of hours to sit and talk and make things better. If they had not done that, the premieres wouldn’t have been so fucking great! 😍

2007 / 2008 doesn’t work for me. David was in a really bad place in his marriage and life and Gillian was trying to have another baby with Mark. I know there’s a lot of Gillovny headcanons around the IWTB filming time, and I know they’re not two angels, but with Mark being on the set and Gillian trying to get pregnant, that just doesn’t work, in my opinion.

In 2012, David was separated from Tea and Gillian said she was separated from Mark “for some time”. IBG happened in the summer of 2011, so I think that’s when it started to happen again, and I think it got more serious around 2012 / 2013.

There’s a fun thing to do: Google their names using the 2012 period. There was a lot of rumors and sightings this year, New-York sightings, LA sightings, sets sightings, even if nothing was happening X-files-wise. I think it’s a lot to be only fake gossips and it shows that it may have been them trying to find their pace and being less cautious than they are now.

Also, I think they tried to come out in 2015, with The Cutting Room, and backtracked.
