The thank you thing is true and I feel like I’ve been punched in the gut

Okay, guys, here are some facts.  The book is available on a Kindle preview, so if any of you can access it, you can see it for yourselves.  I’d rather not post a screenshot because of Gillian’s request.

PM’s name appears in a larger group of people.  It’s all alphabetical.  

It’’s not in the “grateful thanks” section.

It’s not in a section called “My personal thanks”.

Both Gillian’s and Jennifer’s thanks are grouped together.

While Gillian’s children appear, her mother and sister do not.  One would assume those closest to her would have a mention, right?  (That’s something I expected.)

Please don’t freak out until we know more.  If it were David in the pack, you know people would be yelling that it means nothing and he’s a friend included in a mass of people.

So we should continue to look at this logically.  If it turns out to be something, fine. If it doesn’t, at least we’ll have approached it sensibly.

Well, I think this is the moment for her PR to react. I don’t know what is going on here but Twitter freaking out completely. And there are again, hate on Gillian and Peter Morgan. People who don’t understand what acknowledgment in the book means are questioning Gillian, her true intentions, her feminism and cannot understand why for example she’s mentioned him and not her mother.

So yes, either PR should react or this will end badly for her. Someone from tabloid will finally pick up the story how feminist who wrote the feminist book included her boyfriend, a married man to this. A man who didn’t treat her with respect on GGs.

*sigh*

I wanted to make my own post, but everything is brilliantly said here. I don’t know since when a name acknowledged on a book is synonym of Love, but okay. This acknowledgement could be both personal or professional, seeing the mix of names in this paragraphs. Doctors, professors, marketing agencies, family, writers….
It’s not the “proof” that will make me change my mind on the status of their relationship, even if I agree with @altaircolin, it’s time for an explanation and a closure, in a way or another, because this book is released in a few days, and I’m sure this page is not the one Gillian wanted us to focus on.

Only time will tell, I just hope it won’t be too long.

JHH, how likely do you think it is that GA shows up for that dinner honoring PM on the 21st? I’m worried she’ll show up at the premiere with him. I’m kinda thinking that either he’ll be there or that she’ll then attend the dinner after the premiere. 😩. I’ll be pleasantly surprised if she attends the premiere but not the dinner. What do you think?

I think she will definitely attend the premiere without him and I will be shocked if he shows up there. As I don’t think they’re dating, to me, he has no reason to go.
I’m still mixed on either she’s going to join his event after the premiere, but I think it’s likely not going to happen. And if she ever does, I don’t think she’ll do it as his date. I don’t expect to see anything more that we’ve already seen, which is basically nothing and not so many interactions between them.
To quote David, if I was a betting woman, I’d bet we’re not going to see them attend an event *together* before the BAFTA in May.

PM is famous and very well known in the UK. Why is not there a photo of him at dinner? I do not think he would go unnoticed if he was there. And that photo of him at the background of Gillian’s picture, can not find the source.

It’s from Greg Williams, he took a lot of pictures during the evening, and you can only see this one if you download the Vero app and search for his name. I’ve spent a shameful amount of time searching for this source 😀

Are people gonna freak out every event they both attend? As I remember it was expected that The Crown would be there at Bafta dinner or whatever this event was. No big deal to me. I just say what I see and I see two people who know each other and have the same PR. White we just see them « together » at social events I won’t assume anything. My POV.

PM was definitely going to attend this dinner, that’s no surprise. They didn’t attend together, they didn’t sit together, and they didn’t leave together. Maybe we’re getting some closure, finally.

So to set things straight you are saying that: Wall Street Journal wrote that Peter Morgan was at The Crown premiere with Gillian Anderson, the fandom took that line as confirmation that they are together and then page six wrote that article based on the fandom’s reaction?Do I get it right? But why GA, or PM never cleared the rumors? There are many ways actors can put down rumors without draw more attention.

This is exactly what I’m saying, and I’m sure Gillian or PM will take it down when they feel like doing it. Gillian never indulges rumors, but she finds her way to take them down, even if it’s months after.
But maybe she thinks there’s no rumor, or at least, that it isn’t big enough for her to pay attention to it. It’s actually basically only her hardcore fans who are spinning over and over about it. The press didn’t pick it up. Not even a little. There’s no article anywhere except on Page Six, which is nothing.
To confirm or dismiss a rumor, it has to exist outside of the small circle of your fandom, and it’s absolutely not the case so far.

You know, even if (hypothetically) GA is indeed dating PM, I still don’t understand why we, the fandom, are expected to worship him. I don’t remember anything quite like that with G’s previous partners, and with DD, when he married Tea, I think even the media were slightly disappointed (even his father said that everyone shipped D and G). Gillovny fans still want them together, look at Kimmel. When and why did it become a rule that if you don’t ship gilorgan, you are a bad fan?

That’s a good question, and I don’t have the answer. Even if it happens to be true, which I highly doubt, I will never ship them, and I don’t think I’ll ever start to like him. Does that make me a bad fan, probably not. It’s the same with your friends or partners, I guess. You don’t have to like all your friends’ friends.

Half the English theater is tied with each other one way or another, the whole Hollywood is tied but I didn’t see Gillian act like that before. And one logical question: how did the author of page six article could have known about G and PM when at the time they hadn’t appear together yet? Don’t tell me Netflix gave their promo to page six and not to People’s!

To me, Page Six only based their article on the WSJ article and the following fandom freak out. They have no such thing as a source, they weren’t at the events, they haven’t heard anything. It’s nothing more than what we do here: speculation. (And clickbait)

It’s not like PM works for bfi, they’re giving him an award. I think the Netflix connection is more meaningful somehow. But if your suggestion is correct about bfi then doesn’t that just increase the likelihood that one or the other will be at each other’s event that night? And why is bfi having an event on the same night as one of their movie premieres so close by?

I’d be curious to know the level of participation in this movie. It can be just a push for promotion, or it could be more.
As a British actress and writer, PM and Gillian have to be linked with BFI, somehow. PM definitely has a high level of partnership with them. They don’t reward everybody, and as everything else in this business, it’s always a win-win thing. BFI aren’t philanthropist, they must also gain something for throwing such an event.
On the other hand, I don’t think BFI has anything to do with the production of VH. I think they will be highly involved with the promotion in the U.K., though. PM’s dinner is an important event for them, every important British people of this business will attend, and if I were them, I’d push for Gillian to be there too. It would make sense considering she has an upcoming movie and probably is or will be involved in PM’s projects. So it could mean that, or I could just be reaching a lot!

I said I wouldn’t be completely surprised to see Gillian at his event, but I really don’t believe he will attend hers, though, and I still don’t think she will attend as his date anyway.
