The Sullivan Timeline Mess
The official Sullivan timeline surrounding The Continuing Story is a mess. The film opens up by stating it’s 1915, and we see crowds of men in uniform and Anne and Diana talk about the war, so this tracks. However, the official timeline given on the AOGG miniseries website states that it starts in 1911… literal years before the war starts.
The official timeline then claims Anne and Gilbert spend three years in New York before returning to Avonlea. Unlikely, given that Gilbert was supposed to stay on only for another year at the hospital in NY, and Gilbert leaves before the doctor who wants Gil to replace him permanently (and within the month) can have his way.
When Anne and Gil get married, Gil says they “waited five years for this” (ie getting married), however five years from 1907 (the year stated that Anne and Gil get engaged on the official timeline) is 1912, not 1914 as the official timeline states their marriage took place.
I know I’m not the best at it, but the math ain’t mathing.
