About the event on the 22nd, I don't think it was an event. The only thing I can remember about her regarding the 22nd was that her interview with "The Green Room" was supposed to air. However, it got pushed back to the 28th. Was the name "今日VIP"? Because that's the Chinese name of the show.

Gillian Chung has lost a 7 figure sum for performing on stage
Gillian Chung (Ah Gill) Chen Shuyi and Siu Mei-Gwan were rehearsing for the stage musical "I Ought to be in Pictures" (星爸亞爸) yesterday. Ah Gill had a support visit from Chief Executive Officer of Emperor Wu Yu, Joey Yung and Kenny Kwan. Wu Yu had brought some coffee along and Joey gave her a handbag full of lemons whereas Kenny gave her a massage stick. Ah Gill tried to impress them by performing part of the play, but she wasn't familiar with her lines, needing constant reminding. Ah Gill revealed that the play is a comedy, she wanted people to laugh till their throat hurt. She even puts an extra line in local dialect, which she learned it from her 90 years old grandfather. It was a pity that he has cataract, and wouldn't be able to watch the play.
Ah Gill has been trying to memorize the lines, she is worried that she may repeat her them. She has put in so much effort for this play, even turned down some jobs offered to her as well as postponing some commercial work. It is estimated that she has lost a chance to earn 7 figure sum of money. Ah Gill told reporter "I'd rather perform well in this play, there will be 6 plays. If I forget my lines, that would be even worse than losing money. I don't want to think about it." Joey has been visiting Ah Gill to see the rehearsal a few times, she reckoned Ah Gill has improved a lot. Joey revealed that she envies Ah Gill who is able to perform on stage, she wanted to do it badly too.
Gillian looks gorgeous here (: And it's sweet of Joey and Kenny to visit Gillian! Hope she doesn't stress over the play and perform it well!

lolz ... gillian better get cracking on those lines ... ! i thought she said she memorized them all already ... well she still has 1 month to get them solid ... hopefully she won't forget lines since she's said herself that she takes longer to think and reply ... even in interviews she stutters a lot and stuff ... lolz joey wants to do a musical too ... ? looks like after charlene's first musical was so successful ... and then her 2nd musical was also really successful ... and she recorded for another cartoon musical ... eeg is getting their artists into that ... so should be no problem ... really putting musicals back on the map ... real cool ...
Maricon:your welcome and thanks also for the links...August was coming ...there's a lot of new pics!...her Musical will be a much awaited one...i hope to see the whole musical in vid,i'm so excited to see it since it's comedy..i'm sure everyone will enjoy it then good luck to Gill for that!...
bxalann and sally:thanks for more pics..hehehe she's so cute there,with apple green outfit! ...
mv_288:thanks for the news...hehehe she haven't memorize her lines fully?,but i think she can do it as days goes by...anyways still she showed a good job doing her rehearsals...just good luck to her!

Thanks mv 288 for the news. Yeah, She really needs more rehearsal time especially performing on a stage play. She has a month to go so by then she should be prepared. Also, the photos of her are beautiful. She looks happy and at peace. I wish her the best of luck

Yay! With school and all I haven't been able to check out all the forums that I wanted, but reading about Gillian's recent sucess just energized me for the day. I'm glad she's doing well. Does she have any dramas or movies coming up? I miss seeing her on the big screen!

Apparently, Gillian's interview on 今日VIP was pushed up to the 27th, hence a lot of fans had missed it. Hopefully, someone had recorded it.
In reference to the discussion from the last page, I'd like to point out that the Pop Queens Concert wasn't exactly a big-scale concert; it was a function sponsored by the Metro Radio Station, as in the next Metro Concert is going to be Andy Lau+Andy Hui+Richie Ren. All in all, both the Pop Queens Concert and the upcoming concert in FoShan are just EEG concerts, with their various singers.
Gillian wasn't part of the Pop Queens Concert, I'd say, for two reasons; one, EEG sure looks like they're using this chance to split Twins up, and even if not, Gillian is still in the testing the waters stage, so it's best to keep her away from Charlene, to avoid any negativity affecting her; and two, a great deal of the criticism towards Gillian regarding the scandal originates from the HK area, and the Pop Queens Concert was in HK. Notice how Gillian's been freely galloping to functions in areas of Mainland and Malaysia, but takes HK functions with enormous caution?
Besides, the concert in FoShan is obviously being used to push Gillian back into the screens of public performances, therefore it makes sense that she's the center of attention in the singer list; just to point out, Vincy, who attended the Pop Queens Concert, is going to the FoShan concert as well, and Anthony Wong is also attending, whilst he was a big name from the previous generation of music fans.

Here's part one of the interview in the beginning
AtinaDaAznGurl
Jul 27 2009 11 01 PM
Oy, I'm pretty frustrated with EEG for distancing Gillian from stuff since that scandal was a long time ago, and it was regarding her private life. I think for the most part, one's personal life and work should be kept separate. I get really frustrated thinking about the whole deal, since its not really her fault, I'm sure plenty of people have taken those type of pictures, its their own right and privacy. Gillian had the right to do what ever she wanted in her own time and it was done way before the pictures were released, so people who are still holding it against her are just basically complaining after the fact.
The entertainment industry should just be able the talent and skills artistes can bring onto the stage and although I can be an obsessive fan, and may want my favorite artistes to do certain things, I understand they are their own person and can do what ever they want. I appreciate and enjoy Gillian's talent and hope for her to be able to share it with everyone, but if others are going to only look at that scandal and not true talent I don't think its a very open way of thinking.
I really don't mean to offend others or bring up the topic, but I get really frustrated when I think about how Gillian is being kept in the shadows and not able to work to her full potential. I'm probably spouting a bunch of nothings since she is getting more projects, but I just had to get that off my chest.
Nevertheless, good luck to her in her upcoming play.

Jul 29 2009 3 39 AM
AtinaDaAznGurl ... i know we think differently ... but how is it possible that private and work life are kept private when you're in the entertainment industry ... ? yes ... gillian has the right to do what she does in her own time ... yes people take sex photos ... yes you can say the entertainment industry should only be based on talent and skills ... but the truth is it's not ... the majority (imo, probably 80%) is about image and marketing ... everyone knows that ... twins were not the most talented people when they first came out ... but it's all about image and marketing
she is entitled to take those photos and she had for several years while twins were in the business ... but only if she is willing to accept the results if they are to be leaked ... you can't blame the public for reacting the way they did because gillian and anyone would have known that would be the result if those were to be leaked ...
it's about the hypocrisy since every celebrity knows to not take those photos because of the possibility of them being leaked ... yet she took them .... there's no excuse about love is blind because it was mutual, consensual, not forced and she knew the repercussions ... like she knew the possibilitiy of destroying her, charlene and twins' careers if those photos leaked ... so if you still took the photos knowing that ... then you can't cry about the pain when it was brought on yourself, you know ... ?
like i get how all of us gillian fans truly believe or want to say that gillian did nothing wrong and that people should forget about it ... but when i take down my gillian fan status ... i'm really not happy with that decision gillian made and the way she/eeg decided to push the blame on others ... (like she just had a magazine where she flat out said that she doesn't think she's done anything wrong ... but i feel the blame should be shared equally between all parties) and almost ask for pity ... instead she didn't apologize to charlene (she mentioned that maybe once), twins, and fans for stupidly (not naively because that just pushes blame elsewhere) involving in such activites and never suggested to just partially take the blame ...
well ... that's how i feel about the situation .. i know it's in the past but it still keeps popping up since she's doing comeback interviews still ... not pushing my ideas on anyone (or saying gillian's a bad person because last time i think you guys misunderstood that ><) since i know everyone's entitled to their own opinion ... just needed to vent also
here's a new interview ... i just finished watching it but she didn't really talk about anything new ... and i dunno ... is it still like a language barrier or something ... ? cuz she kinda stuttered a lot lolz ... the interviewer was really nice though ...

Wait, what? Since when did Gillian push the blame on "others"? She blamed herself in all her interviews. She said that's she's stupid for taking the photos.. And she DID apologize to Charlene. And if she apologized to Charlene herself, we wouldn't even know. It's not like you know what they talk about on the phones. Well, I guess if that's what you feel, then let it be.

Gosh, all the videos of Gillian's interviews and I can't understand a thing. I hope someone post a translated version on youtube soon! I wonder what the response from the audience was.
Sally, Gillian never put the blame on anyone except herself. Also, she did apologize to Charlene in private and in public. People seem think she has no right to be upset about the photos being leaked. I never heard of anyone out celebrating while having your naked photos sent through the internet. Well, Gillian seem to be moving on and maybe we should too.
I'm more focus on this upcoming concert. It is right around the corner and I'm so excited for her. I hope she has one or two new songs. I sure the people who attends will really enjoy themselves.
Gill#1fan, I don't know maybe its just my computer but I can't view your video but thanks anyways and to everyone else also.

Jul 29 2009 9 35 AM
sally1881, Just to clarify, I agree that the taking of those photos were consensual between Gillian and Edison, both parties agreed, the only blame I put on is maybe Edison and its that he was uncareful enough to keep those photos on his laptop and create on opportunity for them to be released. But otherwise, I feel that they were both victims.
I just feel that its regretful that a lot of the celebrities who were victims to those photos have gotten very bad publicity. I guess its the generation and environment that I've grown up in, in the US that is different from the public in Hong Kong, that makes my viewpoint slightly different and able to swallow things differently than others. I realize everyone has their own viewpoints, I just get frustrated sometimes, when others don't see mine.
But again, I'm probably just blowing smoke, since its obvious Gillian has a lot of support from others at this moment.
B x alaN n & Nelly60, I just wanted to add further to what you're saying about Gillian apologizing to Charlene in private, I agree, if she did apologize in private, we have no way of knowing, so we should'nt assume that she did not apologize to Charlene. I'm sure she did apologize in private, which I believe would have been more appropriate and sincere with their relationship.
Thanks sally1881 for the youtube videos too!

bxalann:thanks for posting the 3rd part...hehehe as like Nelly i don't understand anything...i hope someone would explain about it...wait watch the video that Sally posted,the second part i think, last night i watched it,and they showed some rehearsal part of Gill for the upcoming EEG concert...
Sally:thanks for the photos and for the vid...hmm i just like to agree on what they've said...Gill never blame anyone,she blame herself on that thing b'coz of being so blinded in love,then she also expressed her apology to all,like to Charlene...even the others...we just didn't know how she feels sorry for what she have done b'coz actually we can't enter on her private life,even she's an artist we still have less knowledge about her...but for me as like what coolrain have said before we can see through her eyes,how she feels about it...actually after her interview with Stephen i felt the pain that she hid on herself all through the years...

Ok, once again, Gillian DID blame herself in her interview, she just said Edison's apology came too late. And, why are we talking about the scandal? It's been long and done, can we just look foward to Gillian's future activities?
Anyway, Jaz, Thanks for the clip! Gillian's acting was pretty good, but the orange throwing can be a little more aggressive! But I'm sure she doesn't wanna hurt them!
Where is the musical held? Is it in HK or something?

Jazz, thanks for the clip. The media made it seem like she needed reminding on each line. This clip tells a different story. Her acting was pretty good and also funny as well. I saw the videos Sally posted but didn't see any part where Gillian was rehearsing for the EEG concert. What was she doing? I think I might of saw a part on youtube where she was dancing but I'm not sure thats related to the concert.
Also, I agree with bxalan regarding the scandal. It long gone so we should lay it to rest. Gillian finally has a full schedule of activities to look forward to. We should focus on the positive and hope for the best.
Maricon, I understand what your going through with your computer. I'm having the same issues with my main computer so I mostly depend on my laptop but its good you can still check in on the thread.

i never said that gillian never apologized to charlene ... well i don't recall gillian saying it ... but i remember charlene saying that gillian kept apologizing to her on the phone but charlene said that she never blamed gillian ... so sweet their friendship ... just gillian doesn't mention how charlene/twins were affected much ...
actually edison DID delete all those photos ... he deleted it when his long-term girlfriend vincy asked him to and he willingly permanently deleted them in front of her since he truly loves her and is in a stable relationship ... those people retrieved those already deleted files even though he didn't know it was possible ...
i'm not saying that she has no right to be upset about the photos being leaked and she should be out celebrating ... but it's like if you knew how depressed and invaded you would feel if the photos leaked ... if you knew how your career would be affected if the photos leaked ... you can't wallow over self-pity when it actually happens ...
well ... she recently flat out said that she doesn't think she did anything wrong ... and many times in interviews she keeps saying she was naive for believing in love, taking those photos for fear of losing edison and trusting edison to take those photos ... as if edison was a sex-crazed maniac and forced her to take those photos or else they would break up ... when in fact the photos were consensual and the partner with edison would ask to see the photos too ...
haiz ... not to dig my hole deeper since i see you guys got offended by what i said ... i'm not saying gillian's a bad person or anything ... just expressing my personal opinion on the matter since i wish it was handled differently ... but this is the route she and eeg decided for damage control ... well i didn't bring this topic up out of nowhere ... just responding to another post ...

And, Gillian said different things everytime. In one interview she said that she was stupid for taking the pictures. In another, she said she did it for love, but she still blamed herself. I don't know where you got the "blaming others" from. From what I recall, she always blamed herself. The only thing she's every said about Edison was that his apology came late. And I know you're an Edison fan, but if you wanna critize about Gillian, please do it in the "Critics Lounge" and not on her THREAD, where it's for fans only. Thank you.

I think we should just stop talking about the scandal, it's been over a year already and we should just let it stay in the past. If Gillian is letting it go, we all should. I think we should just focus on her current and future projects from now on. Gillian has dealt enough with the whole scandal that it would be better for her, and us fans, to just let it go.
Also, for "I Ought To Be In Pictures", it's not a musical because she won't be singing, so it's a stage play (I think that's what you call it). I just wanted to clarify it because she mentioned that in her "The Green Room" interview. I originally thought it might have been a musical too, but I never heard her mentioning anything about singing, so I was confused about it until the interview came out.
AND GREAT NEWS EVERYONE! GILLIAN WILL BE RELEASING HER OWN SOLO ALBUM AROUND THE SEPTEMBER (the earliest) TO THE END OF THE YEAR! The news said that she will start promoting her first song around mid-August.
Honestly, I'm really surprised that EEG is releasing a solo album for Gillian. All along I thought that if Gillian were to work in music again, that it would be under Twins with Charlene. And then after that would she get a chance to have her own album. It seems like there's a really good chance that Twins will be officially split soon, unless they follow F4 and still be a group yet have each member get their own solo albums during different times. I guess at the FoShan concert, Gillian would probably be singing her new song(s) since it's during the middle of August. I hope that her album will be a success! I can't wait for it!

OMG! Thanks for the news. My mouth literally dropped. I'm SO shocked, because all along, Mani and Gillian has been saying that Gillian won't be in the music scene this year! And that's going to be for next year. But I'm guessing Mani changed her mind. I'm really exciting and is hoping that this is true. We haven't heard any new songs from Gillian since last Janurary. It's been almost two years!
And yup, so the play "I Ought to be in Pictures" isn't really a musical. It's more like a comedy stage play. There'll be no singing nor dancing. I guess this can help Gillian shape up her acting.
Can't wait till she performs her new song. Is it going to be a full album or a mini-album?

In the Chinese article that lilsleepyhead916 posted, it said that Mani stated that Gillian has been secretly recording for a several months. I can't believe they kept it SO down low! I know this is great news and everything, but I think they should've waited a little longer too!
Anyway, I wonder what her new style would be, and if it's an up beat song or a ballad!

Well her first plug will be released mid-August/end of August, so it's really not that early in my opinion. If it is released in mid-August, then it's just about two weeks away, so not that long from now. Also, the person who worked with her on "Can You See?" song, 陳少琪 will help in the production of the album and this DJ (may or may not be one anymore) named DJ Mini will help write the lyrics to Gillian's songs (I don't know how many). Also, this will be a full album like Charlene's, so I'm guessing around ten songs? Maybe they'll all be new since there hasn't been any solo songs of Gillian that has been released. Heck, maybe the duet between Gillian and Alex will be released too!

Oh, I meant early as in, her comeback was just in March, and she's already been doing so much things! Haha, well, I guess it's good for fans. I hope the album isn't just all ballads and slow songs. I hope she can have some dance (really upbeat) songs where she can dance to, to show off her dancing skills! I have a feeling her first song would be a ballad :\ Can't wait!

Ya, we really need to stop talking about the scandal. Honestly, as Gillian fans (I'm ASSUMING WE ARE ALL FANS HERE ==), I think we need to stop saying stuff about her already, how she shouldn't be pitied, should've thought of the consequences, blahblahblah. She's already HAD ENOUGH OF THAT FOR THE PAST YEAR! Geez! And what the heck, she DID blame herself and never said it wasn't her fault. So I think we should like BAN talking about the scandal in here. And she SO DID apologize to Charlene. It was like all over the news =="
No offense but I don't think any of us who are fans want to hear criticism in here. Please do it elsewhere.
ANYHOW back to some HAPPY NEWS. That's great that she's going to do something with MUSIC now Though Sept is so far away >< But it's really good she's getting a chance and stuff. I really hope to hear some improvement and less nervousness from her!!!! I believe she has the power to do well!
I haven't watched The Green Room interview yet, but I will sooN~

Ok, so the news on Gillian's new album is true. Other sources have said that Mani have confirmed that Gillian WILL be releasing a solo album.
I can't wait! I guess Twins is most likely going to be solo as much as EEG/Mani wants to admit it. Gillian and Charlene are going towards different images. They're most likely not going to be together. Maybe just a function or two during their 10th year, but maybe that's about it. But I DO hope that they might have duets together or concerts together in the future!

OMG!! ARE YOU SERIOUS lilsleepyhead you just made my day. I throught EEG wouldn't give Gillian her own album. I'm in shock! Now I'm even more excited about the EEG concert. I hope she releases a well recorded album, not something EEG threw together. I guess this does mean the ending of twins but I'm fine with that. I got use to not seeing together anyways. I do hope EEG give a final concert for those die hard twins fans. That would will be fair because they held on for so long.Thanks for the wonderful news lilsleephead!!

I have a feeling Gillian's new album would be in Mandarin, I ran the article in a translator site and it talked a little about Mandarin, so that's what I'm thinking. And I don't think Mani would think it's time for Gillian to resurface in Hong Kong also..
Anyway, still, can't wait for her album (:

Thanks everyone for sharing Gillian’s lovely photo and video. I have also read in the papers that Gillian will release a solo album and this is confirmed by Mani. Will definitely support her. In one of the video clip, Gillian said that there is a possibility that she and Charlene will perform together at the EEG Anniversary concert at the end of the year.
I have been following all Gillian’s news especially after the scandal. Gillian or even EEG has NEVER pushed the blame to anyone. I wonder where you got the information from. If you have watched her very first interview, she apologizes to everyone. Besides that interview, she also explained to the reporters that she owes it to Charlene to come forward to apologize to the public too. She is not thinking of herself but of her partner.
Did you watch one of her video when she make her comeback on 10 March 09. She was interviewed by many reporters and she answered in 3 languages. I remembered clearly, she was almost in tears when she said she felt very sorry towards Charlene.
In regards to the photos that was indeed deleted. I wonder where you got the information that his long-term girlfriend vincy asked him to delete them. I also wonder did you watch the CNN Talkasia, I am disgusted by what he said that he was young and he took all those photos for fun. He also said that they were taken prior 2004 and his girlfriend was very upset. I am not saying that he is telling lies. Why don’t you watch the video and analyse it yourself.
1) Photos taken prior to 2004 and he never took any more photos. (How old was girlfriend back then? 15 years old. Isn’t under-aged. 2) His girlfriend was upset. (Why should she, she also pose nude for him so she is aware of the photos.)
Well, I am not trying to be rude but I hope this will be a close issue. Please this has happened a long time ago. If you still have doubts, I have recorded every Gillian’s interviews as well as Edison’s. I could send you a copy to verify what I have just said.

Gillian Chung will release a solo album and make a comeback to the music industry Thursday July 30, 2009 Hong Kong Source: On.cc Translated by: matchbox @ http://illusive-serenity.forumotion.net/
Gillian Chung stopped working for a year since the sex scandal was exposed. But since making a comeback in March this year she has had non stop work offers such as advertisements, theatre shows and many public appearances. EEG feel that it is the right time for Gillian to make a comeback in the music industry and have been preparing Gillian's recording work since June this year. The solo album is scheduled to be released at the end of the year.
Despite Gillian and Charlene releasing solo songs in albums "Twins Party" and "桐話妍語", they were still based under Twins at the time. This time, Gillian will be releasing a solo album under her own name. The format will be similar to Charlene's recent album release "二缺一". It is said that Gillian's album will be produced by Keith Chan. Former DJ Mini will be responsible for writing the lyrics.
EEG artist management division director Mani Fok admitted yesterday that Gillian has started the recording for her new song. She said "We have been secretly preparing this for a few months now. This is the first time Gillian will be officially releasing her solo album, therefore we are very nervous about it. Although Gillian has a lot of work to do and is preparing for the theatre show "星爸亞爸" which will be opening on the 27th August, she will still start recording". EEG is very confident about this because outsiders believe Gillian enjoys experiencing new things. As for when Charlene and Gillian will reunite as one, Mani stated that she couldn't give a clear time frame.

okay ... i said "instead she didn't apologize to charlene (she mentioned that maybe once)" i didn't say she never apologized to charlene ... which is why i added the brackets ... i mentioned that and didn't phrase it crystal clear one time and i'm jumped on ... that wasn't even what i was trying to talk about ... lolz ...
sympathetic ... i did not pull the information about vincy asking him to delete those photos and him permanently deleting the photos yet those computer technicians knew how to retrieve permanently deleted photos out of nowhere ... i got that from edisons interview and the public police statements ..
bxalann, i am not an edison fan atually ... i'm a gillian fan ... why else would i come here and post photos videos watch all her interviews and everything if i'm not a fan ... lolz ...
i see you guys are misunderstanding me and getting upset since i think differently from you guys ... that's fine though ... i'm not forcing my opinion on you guys ... i did NOT say anything bad about gillian ... i am also NOT criticizing gillian ... i just don't agree with gillian and eeg's responses and how they treated the issue ... that's all ... phewph ... but goodnes ... then forget i ever said anything ... i just thought that since we're all gillian fans i'd be able to share my opinion on the matter but guess not ...
more pics from the interview ... credits ifeng ... lolz i don't know why they capped so many her eyes like that ...
wow ... gillian releasing a solo album ... i'm really happy for her but i worry that it might be too soon, you know ... ? like she's still getting back on her feet ... not entirely stable yet ... i also worry since i don't think she would release a canto album since her comeback has mainly been in mainland/out of hk since hk is less accepting since the incident ... but then her mando isn't all that great (like the pronunciation and stuttering since she has to think) and twins didn't have as big a fan base in mainland in comparison to hk, you know ... ?
but i guess there's a first for everything right ... eeg must have confidence since they won't do it unless they're sure they'll profit ... right ... ? i wonder what the theme of the album will be ... you know like how charlene's was two missing one ... and if hers will all be slow ballads like charlene's was to reflect how she felt since the incident ... and because gillian doesn't have a really strong voice so i think ballads suit more than fast dance songs ...
but i also guess some twins fans were upset and thought it was unfair for charlene to release a solo album ... and this evens it out ... but i think it's obvious that twins aren't getting back together ... i don't know why mani keeps saying that she doesn't have a clear time frame for when twins reunite ... she's not kidding anyone ... clearly charlene and gillian knew about their solo albums months in advance ... it takes time to compose the song ... gillian's been recording for a bit ... you know? lolz ... i noticed someone in charlene's thread mentioned this ... about what will happen at music awards if charlene and gillian's solo songs compete against each other ... so many things to think about ... lolz ... will be interesting ...

Hey Sally, Good to hear your are a Gillian fan. I agree just because we are her fans don't mean we have to agree with the way she handles things. Lets agree on this; why don't we drop the scandal subject because its only going to cause tension in the thread. Also, like bxalann mentioned before I think her album will be released in the mainland so I doubt any of Charlene songs will be competeing against Gillian new songs in hk.
EEG must be pleased with the response from Gillian's comeback. That would explain the new album coming at the end of this year. I wonder when they going to release the first single. I'm thinking around September.

I don't think Gillian's new songs will be competing with Charlene's songs for now/when it gets released. Most albums only promote around 3 or so songs, and I think Charlene is either done with promoting 3, or close to being done, so no competition as of right now. The only time there [i]might[i] be competition would be at the end of the year awards. However, if Gillian's album does get released at the end of the year, I don't think that there will be enough time for it to be nominated for awards, so there won't be any competition there either. It might be able to get some awards next year though, so if Charlene releases another album next year, then there might be some competition between them in (of course in terms of album sales and awards, not between them personally).

Glad to know that there are so many Gillian fans here! Yay! I'm really excited for Gillian's new album. But alot of people are saying that it's too soon, and that it's a stupid move for EEG. But it's obviously not because EEG wouldn't do anytihng they can't benefit from. But I think the only down side to Gillian releasing her own solo album is the possibility that Twins may not reunite. I've been hoping since the scandal broke out when Gill took her leave that Twins would reunite. Hopefully they will. But nonethelss, I will support Gill and her career regardless!
