I mean I wouldn't call it stalking? They live in Belfast and they could see the signs for The Fall filming and they'd occasionally go down to see if they could meet Gillian and David. But, at least on Twitter, it didn't start off as a negative response to them, more as a negative response to the negative responses. As far as I'm aware, at least one of the girls knew that she didn't have a right to Gillian, she was just a little disappointed, which is understandable.
Well, that’s something of a relief, that at least one of them had that awareness/understanding. Even so, I think that if someone is the kind of person who sees no problem with talking about a celebrity in a type of disparaging or disrespectful way, that’s indicative of the mindset they’re taking with them when they try to meet said celebrity. We as human beings have these instincts that crop up when certain kinds of people approach us...I think as well that celebs like Gillian and David have been around enough fans and people by now to know the difference between the genuine fans and the ones who basically just want something from them.
I think it is actually exhausting to be Gillian and David--to have the work schedule they do, the busyness of their lives, and the expectations placed on them to uphold a certain image, to do this thing or that thing, all the while knowing that someone is going to be pissed off or unhappy no matter what they do--and I think that they have gotten to a point where they know the importance of conserving their energies. It takes a lot of energy to be around/interact with people that make you uncomfortable, and after a long day of work and who knows what else, I think it would make complete sense for Gillian not to want to expend what energy she has left on that. Just my two cents, anyway...
