Re David & Gillian’s romantic relationship. Not sure on the *when* it started but it’s hard to see people doubting everything that happened in 2016 now! They must have been at least friends with benefits. Look at the thirst between them in January 2016! Usually when you are both single and you both flirt and touch each other, either it means something happened or something will happen. We have had too many clues that year to support the Gillovny-Is-Real theory. I don’t even know where to begin.

EXACTLY!

Given that S11 has completed and given the countless times Gillian and David have responded to fans/the press, etc. – how many fans really believe they had or have a personal relationship with each other? Are we more inclined now to believe it is a very strong friendship between two people who experience unique situations in their work place? Any comments? Think of Gillian’s response to the Ghent question about the Mike Mann photoshoot!

I’m not sure what’s the matter with Mark Mann, but to be, I have zero doubt David and Gillian were together from 2012 to 2016 at least. I guess it all depends on what you believe, and not all the Gillovny agree on that, but I have all the reasons the believe what I believe 🙂

There is a moment in The Host where Mulder and Scully are having a “moment”. Scully almost laughs, stops herself then says “I’m sorry. It felt like old times there for a second.” THIS is totally something I can imagine happening between D&G while filming season 11. Maybe G wouldn’t say it out loud like Scully but I’m sure they had a few of these moments where their old dynamic came back and they felt all weird about it. At first it’s a rush and they’re happy, then reality hits and it hurts. 😍😪

Awww! That’s both very cute and very sad!

« It was exciting to work with David again. Obviously we stayed friends. » Stayed friends after braking up??? What are your thoughts about that?

My thoughts are that she’s remaining a professional in all occasions. She wasn’t going to say “we’ve been together for a few years, and now we’ve broken up, I’m hurting but I had to deliver and do the job anyway so here we are.” She’s never going to tell us the truth about her feelings for David, either they’re good or bad. So friendship is what we get, and what we’ll always get unless they decided to get back together and come out. 

David and I become really good friends over the years. We become closer over the years. At the end of the day, we realized that we were probably the only two people who were ever going to have the experience that we had together. So, there was something special in all of that to celebrate and to respect and to honor. It helped us to slow down and lean in to the friendship.
