Sorry but this isn’t gonna piss PM off because he isn’t Gillian’s boyfriend. The few of us on here who’ve been saying it since a while now have been laughed into silence. Oh well. (And no I’m not a snogger because I’ve been accused of that too.) I just didn’t believe in PM and what @altaircolin said made a whole lot of sense compared to everyone else saying that Portofino proved a relationship. It didn’t. It proved Public Eye is really shrewd at spectacles. That’s all.

I don’t feel like I’ve laughed into silence those of you who came to me with this theory. I have friends who believe that, and @altaircolin is among them. I’ve said right here that I believe she indeed made a lot of sense, and that this is one theory that I kept in the back of my head, of course. I just couldn’t wrap my brain around it, and I still can’t, even after this podcast. 
I do want to believe this whole mess was aimed to shift the public eye from Gillovny to Gorgan to make everyone forget about the possible relationship between David and Gillian during the filming and promotion of season 11 so they can come out properly after that and everyone will believe it’s fresh and new and they fell in love during the filming and no one is going to dig into their past. I really want that to be true. But at this point, and when I reread what I just written, I feel like I sound like a delusional lunatic who refuse to cope with the reality. I tend to push-back every theory that sounds like a big conspiracy because life isn’t an X-Files, and I think I’m a rational person. 
That said, and that might be the delusional lunatic in me talking now, I think it’s possible and that the reality might be way more complicated than what we saw and took for granted.
