Okay, people want to share theories about Gemmers. Let's do it in a Gemmers19 thread. To summarize: a new video has been posted on YouTube and Revver by "a friend of Bree's." In the video "Mysteries of My Past..." Bree explains she used to live in England, where her only friend was a dog. Gemmers says it was her dog. Gemmers makes several statements suggesting that her parents are members of the same religion. Bree left Nottinghamshire two years ago, before she got hot. Gemmers has since moved to London to get away from "it." It's unclear if "it" means, get away from her religion or get away from people who look at her funny for the religion. The anonymity of London must be comforting either way. And, for what it's worth, Gemmers does not hurt the eyes. In real life, she's Jackie -- here's her MySpace. In real life, Jackie is friends with Jessica Rose, and company. Jackie is an aspiring actress as well. Jackie's video has some similar editing tics as Bree's video. It's possible, I guess maybe, that she talked with Miles and they're adding her as a character. It's also possible that she's just doing this for fun. The Creators have talked a lot of talk about incorporating other storylines. This could be a way for them to do that, but also retain some control. Since Jackie is their friend, they know she won't start posting goat porn after building up an audience. Or, as Newone pointed out, in a different thread, this could be their way of showing people what they want others to do. |

maybe she meant that "squirrel, nut, man" is popular in her"community" but then I guess Bree would already know about it, so nevermind.

Squirrel was a tag from the swimming video...FWIW. from Where's Daniel thread: Maybe I'm confused, but if she was part of it, wouldn't she have lonelygirl15 on her top 8 instead of jess rose? I mean, obviously she is friends with them, but maybe her video isn't actually part of it. Or, maybe she's just showing us the way to be interactive with the story while not actually being a part of it. Gemmers isn't really Bree's friend yet. Her dog is...or was. She's reaching out to Bree. It remains to be seen whether or not she'll be confirmed in a video by Bree. Don't you think it's safe to say that they (at least Jess and friends) want to give us the impression that Gemmers is Cannon by putting all those photos up? It certainly something of an endorsement from Jess. I like how it ties in, whether it's cannon or not. I've been longing for a different angle on all of this. Make it a bit more 3-D. |

Okay, we're confusing fake people with real people here.
Gemmers19 is a fake person who lives in fake London. Lonelygirl15 is a fake person who lives in fake America. In the fake world, they are acquaintances, Bree liked her fake dog two years ago.
Jackie is a real person. Jess Rose is a real person. In the real world, they are good friends who hang out and party in LA.
Jess and Jackie's real life friendship is not a guide to LG and Gemmers breeniverse friendship. If they want us to accept Gemmers as canon, she'll be mentioned in a lonelygirl15 video. If Gemmers turns out to be a cannon that will be even more interesting.
That said, the fact that she's a real life friend of Jess definitely makes The Creators more likely to include a shout-out or incorporate the character the way they claim they've been planning to do all along with fan created characters.

ha, funny, but you really don't think she's cannon? i think the fact that she is real life friends with jess rose indicates some kind of legitimate involvement.
she could be an interesting source for inside info on bree's "religion"...

Yeah, I think she is not canon either. But I do think she has the best chance of any of the other response videos to become canon. They know who she is in real life, and could set up a deal with her.
Personally, I think it would be great to give Bree someone new to talk to through her videos. It would allow them to keep telling the story they are right now with Bree making vids about her religion and ones directed at Daniel, but it would also let her make some more fun, more similar to the original LG vids, directed towards Gemmers. It would also open up the possibility to allow for multiple storylines to occur at the same time. Overall, expanding the cast could help the show in countless ways.
Just a little something random that snow tossed out in chat last night that I thought was an interesting (if a tiny bit far fetched) theory. Many of us have guessed that CiW was made by a friend of either the LG Cast or Crew. Well what if the people (maybe person) that make these Gemmers videos is also the people (person) that original made CiW, but has since given up on that and decided to start this story instead.

Interesting. Does it matter if it's canon or not? I mean, the Creators want more diversity, the only decicisve factor should be quality. I think it can only enrich LG15, it's become so predictable. On her story, well, she doesn't sound British to me, more like Kiwi or Australian, I might be wrong though (I lived in the area she's supposed to be from for a couple of years though). Well, she got the university grades right, but I never heard of the squirrel, nut man thing though. Then again, we really used to play a whole lot of different kinds of games in college though. I mean, really  |

I think we all agree nothing's canon until proven canon. That's a good policy. My guess, based on editing, tone, story points, timing of the release of the video, and her real-life connections, is this vid was made by the creators, not just her on her own. If I'm right, I win a date with Gemma and a new car. (uh..That's how it works, right?) As for the name "Gemmers19," to me, it seems like a name the creators might choose.

In my opinion, the fact that Gemmers is played by one of Bree's friends make it likely that Gemmers actually is by the Creators-- HOWEVER we should not accept it as canon until we have a reason to. Until Bree refers to her or their stories tie in together in some way that makes it's apparent she IS canon we should regard her as just a spin-off.
