My field of work and my Gillovny are mixed right now, so I’m not sure I can rely on my job to see straight. I don’t know what I see, but I know what I don’t see, and I don’t see a love-relationship right now. I see them attending a lot of events together, always his, never hers, I see Gillian not glowing, except when she poses alone, so I think it’s reasonable to ask for more. But I’ve probably been beyond reasonable already, though.
Étiquette : peter morgan
How are you holding up? <3
I’m good, thank you, anon! I still can’t wrap my brain on the fact they’re dating. Not with these pics, not with her being at this event, not with him never attending hers. There’s still nothing much that we’ve seen already, and yet the comments about Gillian are tougher and harsher. There’s nothing that make me scream “fuck it, I give up!” so far, so I wish everybody would step back, watch those pics again and calm down.
You know what, nothing will happen tonight. If GA/PM will appear somewhere together those who do not want to believe they are dating they’ll say it’s professional, if they don’t appear together those who want them to be dating will say they can’t always coordinate their schedules. In short the tonight’s events will be interpreted in a way to fit someones predetermined opinions as it always is happening.
Unless if we see them kissing or something (please, no!), I agree nothing will change tonight.
I don’t buy that PM really « helped » G write the book, like advising her about strong women, etc. I do think if they have been acquaintances over the years, he may have introduced her to Jennifer Nadel, or he may have introduced her to her editor or publisher. He’s a famous writer in the UK, I’m sure he has many connections that way. I don’t believe that she would list her new BF in that list — that’s not her style. (I don’t believe he’s her BF either).
Definitely, I don’t think she would have listed him that way if there was more than a friendship / coworker relationship between them. There so many little things that make me say there nothing between them! I can’t wait for her or him to reveal what it’s all about, though. So many questions!
I’m so confused by the timeline. When was G writing this book? Wasn’t it completed and by September? Which is when we have guessed she would have started dating PM if she was? If she’s dating him this means she’s been dating him a lot longer than we thought. What if the reason she started to « introduce » us to him then was because that was when the book was done and she knew we would see his name? Nothing makes sense 😓 I wish I could see Katie Holmes’ copy and see if he was thanked in it then🙈
Calm down, anon! 🙂 This book was finished and printed by last summer, maybe before. It was supposed to launch last September, but for some reasons, they’ve decided to delay it until Women’s day. It could be for marketing reasons, or editing maybe, I have no idea. But some copies have been distributed since last September, with or without PM mention, that I don’t know either.
What I know is that PM was still with his wife before February last year, or at least, their separation hasn’t been announced, so let’s all take a step back and think. You can believe she’s dating him, it’s okay, and at some point we will know the truth anyway, but thinking she’s dating him for more than a few months just doesn’t make any sense.
Would she acknowledge her still married and very recent boyfriend on such a book for the only reason that he’s her boyfriend? That’s the question you have to ask yourself.
What kind of business arrangement is it to add a guy’s name to a book acknowledgment list? Not being sarcastic, I really want to know because I don’t get it.
I have no idea, anon! But I don’t know what kind of love arrangement it is to drop his name in the middle of people who helped them with the book either.

Why did not Gillian thank her mother and sister?
Because it is personal, private and they do not have agents who claim the support they gave Gillian, but surely received his book with a special dedication, like David. Piper, Oscar and Felix are their children, they are the most special thing she has, her impulse motor, they come every day to work, they are her inspiration. PM is a writer, she knows it as well as Jennifer and if she should mention it because it’s business, her name or that of any artist never appears for free somewhere, the least she gets is publicity. If it was personal, intimate, because they are a couple, under the present circumstances, he is married and since at the Bafta dinner they did not come together, they did not go together or sit together after appearing in the GG, she would not have mentioned it because Represents a problem for him. So be simple.
It’s part of this odd revisionist history people have toward gillovny now. While a lot of people didn’t think the panel was great, the shirt and shirt bite were great gillovny moments for them until now. I even saw someone going back to 2013 and saying that during the Paley red carpet D made G uncomfortable just because of that video of Hugh Bonneville. I don’t get how if they believe she’s dating someone now that changes events from so long ago. And always in a way that makes D a bad guy.
This is true and so strange. I saw it on my dash back even before Christmas, when there were some people convinced that HB was a coming out for Gillian and PM. I’ve seen people say that Gillian was unhappy during the Paley panel because David touched her too many times during it, that when David brushed her breast during the BTS outtake that Gillian was upset because she didn’t want to him touching her since she was already with PM (despite this not being true), that her driving tweet was a dig at David because she was displeased he talked about her, that her look into the camera during WWHL was for PM and not David, and that (suddenly, they agree!) Gillian *was* glowing last year, and was happy, but it wasn’t because of David, it was because she was with PM. It’s offensive to Gillian, in my opinion, to start rewriting everything and adding PM into it. Can I point out that whenever someone in the Gillovny fandom even tries to suggest that something has to do with David or is because of David, we’re shouted down, made fun of and reminded that not everything is because of David and that Gillian doesn’t need a man.
Yet…suddenly…they’re attaching everything to PM.
I think one of the more head-shaking things is when I’ve read, in the last month, that Gillian never really meant David is her BFF. She was doing that for PR, according to some, and when David said she would be part of his life, he didn’t mean as a friend or partner, he meant as a former co-star. If there’s something to revise, you can bet they’ve already taken care of it.
A lot of what they say is a combination of them believing it as well as getting a kick out of trying to poke at the Gillovny fandom and aggravate people who can’t shut them out.
The people who have always made fun of us are basically doing the same thing we were doing for years and which was, in their opinion, disrespectful towards Gillian and embarressing. If I had any respect left for those blogs, I lost it when they congratulated Gillian and Peter Morgan on their relationship and added the link to Page Six. You know how this felt? I couldn’t slap my forehead hard enough to understand how on earth they thought that this is the thing to do (even if they, as they claim, knew all along). Now they’re all besotted and happy for Gillian and Peter, acting like this is the cutest thing ever, as if their hearts have been in this for the longest time. That is ridiculous! The only reason they act like that is us and wanting to let us know that we were wrong. And you know, even if we were, and I am absolutely okay with admitting that when Gillian shows or tells me, it wouldn’t take away all the happiness and love we got from David and Gillian, no matter how hard some blogs try to beat it out of us.
Doesn’t this general thanks suggest even more that they are professionally linked?after everything I have seen between them since oct i can’t believe they are a couple-if she wanted us to see them as a couple it would have been obvious by now!
It doesn’t suggest they’re a couple, though. If the Golden Globes didn’t make me believe it, his name lost on an acknowledgement page of a book Gillian co-wrote isn’t going to make me change my mind.
Can I ask you something honestly? Is she had thanked DD or if she had talked about his music’s production without been asked wouldn’t you’ve taken it as a confirmation of them being together?
The comparison seem just impossible here. If she had acknowledged David, she would have known the consequences behind it. She can’t just drop David’s name on something not related to XF and expect people to not freak out. If he had helped her with the book, it would have been known beforehand, she would have added a few words to explain as to what he was acknowledged for.
I’m sorry but since the beginning of this rumor, I keep getting asks comparing David and Peter Morgan, and I keep reading things like “if it was David, they would take it as a confirmation blah blah blah”. But actually, it’s just impossible for me to wrap my mind on this comparison. Her relationship with Peter Morgan, whatever it is, will never be something to be compared to the one she has with David, either privately nor publicly. I don’t know how anyone being in this fandom and knowing Gillian and David can expect us to have the same reaction towards what she does with David and what she does with anyone else.
