I can definitely see Gillian being interested in the part of the Queen in The Crown. It would be a huge commitment but given the recognition and the awards that Claire Foy got for this role, it’s a huge possibility. I’m not from England, but I can’t think of anyone else who could follow Claire in that role.

It is the biggest European Netflix show. Every British actress in their fifties would be interested in playing it. And there’s not so many of them…

Have to admit I freaked out when the guy said she was just visiting! But having calmed down and thought about it, how could he possibly know what she was doing there? Unless he’s working on the set, but that doesn’t appear to be the case. What do you think?

I think exactly the same as you do. If he’s working on set, I doubt he’d be tweeting about what happens there, and if he’s not working on set, he has absolutely no way to know what she was there for. And even if she’s indeed visiting, nothing says she won’t be working there later. The more I think about it, the more I realize I’m actually pretty pleased with this news.

I’m actually getting nervous and excited. Excited because I would love Gillian to be on The Crown (it’s a fucking good show and all that bullshit will be over) but nervous because what if she’s visiting the set the way she used to visit Californication? Please let it be good news!

Well, the difference is that she’d never promoted Californication like she promoted The Crown, so there’s definitely something going on with that show. I guess the set is in the streets, so she’s not hiding, whereas we wouldn’t have known about Californication if Evan Handler didn’t make a mistake. It wasn’t supposed to be a public information, so it’s different this time.
We’ll see, but I tend to think she isn’t there for a personal purpose.

Do you know that on March 17th there will be The BPG Awards in London and the crown and PM are nominated? If GA goes I will lose everything, really, enough is enough!!!!

Aaaaaaand…. Here we go again! We’d better get ready, then. She hasn’t anything scheduled in NY after March 15th, so I can see the drama coming full speed one more time. I’m confident nothing else will happen that we’ve already seen, though. So buckle up, bite the bullet, and it’ll be fine.

War and Peace is nominated too, by the way.
