Now feels like as good a time as any to post this. I took this video on 9/7/17, the day Cait had a spot on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. This was during Outlander S3 Promo Week in NYC. I’ve been hanging onto it for a little while.
A few of us (@@queencaitrionaand @superfluffycool and I) went to stand outside the back door of Colbert to hopefully see Cait when she arrived/left the show. She didn’t get to stop and say hi on her way inside, so we waited an hour or so to hopefully be able to see her on her way out. What we didn’t know at the time was that she would be rushing from Colbert to get to the Calvin Klein fashion show downtown, so she wouldn’t be able to stop.
Her team came out before her: her hair stylist, publicist, etc. You can see them gathered on the street there. Someone who knows more than I do can probably point out and label them individually. And guess who was among them? Personal Assistant of the Year, Tobrian McGill, standing there waiting with the other members of Cait’s professional team. As soon as I spotted him, I started recording.
When Cait came out, she bid farewell to her team and got into straight the car to leave. Did not pass Go, did not collect $200. No one accompanied her aside from, obviously, her driver. T left with the rest of her team. You can’t see much of this, but her car/the door/Cait are all to the left of the frame.
In the video, you can hear @superfluffycool and I talking. SFC was understandably confused and annoyed at the sight of T. Then I pointed out that he was not getting in the car with her, and that’s when we kind of started to freak out. A boyfriend would get in the car. A boyfriend would, at the very least, see her inside the car - as, I should point out, we have seen Sam do for her multiple times. A boyfriend, even if he were not attending the fashion show with her, would get dropped off at their hotel (or wherever his next stop was) in the same shared car. T did not. He was clearly there for a professional obligation.
I’m sure that Cait and T are great, close friends. In this industry, it’s hard to have a personal assistant that’s isn’t a trusted friend - especially if you have big secrets. But is he anything more than that to her? I wouldn’t bet a penny on it. His behavior and body language - in this video and the recently posted fan pic - show absolutely no indication that they are romantically interested in each other. Frankly, it’s the exact opposite of what we see with Cait and Sam. It’s that easy, and it’s why I’m still shipping: I have eyes.
