I've been thinking...
 

We always ship Lindsey and Stevie. I have seen so many fanfictions where they get back together. We all go crazy when they interact on stage and have been since the Rumours days...
But then when it comes to John and Christine, we never really say anything.
Is there anyone out there who thinks John and Christine should get back together?:wavey:

My opinion is they did not have a mutually passionate relationship- at all.

I think they did once, but since they parted, it's hard for me to imagine that she's wanted him back. Him on the other hand ... I think he's still in love.

Michele

From what I just heard of Christine's interview she sounds quite happy on her own at the moment. It seems that John has got a good relationship with his wife. But I'm sure there is still a lot of love there...

I think the McVies cherish what they had, but realize it ended and it's still over, and are able to be friends.

Now Christine and Mick...

:shocked: I hadn't thought about that one. Stevie and Mick had crossed my mind?? He is single again isn't he? :rolleyes:

There's a pic from Q Magazine circa 1987 (I don't think Lindsey had quit, yet) that had a pic of Mick and Chris. If I didn't know any better, I'd swear they'd make a cute couple.

He said he had a girlfriend a few months back.

I think Christine may be a little too preoccupied with his big belly to see him as a love interest.

Michele

Holidayroad posted this one recently. Nice photo of her on Mick's chest.

She didn't say that was a turn-off...

No. This one was just of Mick and Chris, both wearing hats, from 1987.

Yeah I just wondered why we never pay much attention to the McVie relationship. Its always fascinating to me how John and Christine were seemingly able to be really good friends, while Lindsey and Stevie still supposedly have issues with each other.

Yeah, I knew that you weren't referencing a Tusk-era photo. I just thought that this was an interesting one of the 2 of them as well.


Michele

Ironically, there was a time when Christine said just the opposite. She said that she and John avoided each other while Stevie and Lindsey could actually get along quite well, when they were working on a song.

Michele

I think it's because, at least during the "Rumours" era, Christine's songs weren't as blatantly brutal. Stevie sang "and what you lost," Lindsey sang "shackin' up's all you wanna do," whereas Christine sang "don't stop thinking about tomorrow." Stevie and Lindsey continued to sing about each other, whereas Christine seemed to move on, and John became her buddy in the process.

interesting.... anything is possible :rolleyes: :]

No, Michele! :mad: Big bellies are hot and I will not have them slandered. Stop this. ( ;) )

But yes, I don't see any reason for these two to get back together (or Lindsey and Stevie). I think we simply don't consider their relationship as much because they don't talk about it that much. And John really doesn't say a whole lot publicly period. :shrug:

You may be in a minority, but you are not alone! Lis (of Marty & Lis, who started The Penguin website) was a MAJOR John & Christine shipper! Your post made me think of her and she would be very pleased with your question. I picture her right now mixing up some sort of potion to make this happen! :wavey:

I think it's significant that when John was sick, Christine's name was suddenly all over. It is possible that even during the Hawaii trip, John's illness was already known by some--including Christine.

Don't stop thinking about tomorrow. ;)

One thing more, singertobe, check out what Lis wrote:

You're going wayyy back.. lol

In my defense Christine did recently mention Mick's tummy. I would never have cited it as a possible turn off spontaneously :laugh:

I think you're right. If John and Christine talked more about their relationship, so would the fans.

Michele

Not really their style tho.... But I agree.

And the press doesn't ask them really. It's not a sexy topic to the media.

Michele

It's always the #2 issue. And Mick's marriage breaking up is the #3 issue.

Ah - Christine's *real* reason for wanting to return to Fleetwood Mac is finally uncovered. Snuggle time with John's belly. :lol:

LOL :lol:

I would have to agree with the fact that they are just different people compared to S & L. I think that that has made them be able to handle the situation differently and I now see them as having a friendly, simple platonic, average divorced couple relationship. It's shown in The Dance. I think they both love each other as much as they did back then or maybe more but just in a different way.
From a Buckingham Nicks shipper's pov, you could also say it's different because of the fact that the McVie relationship was over years ago but Stevie and Lindsey are still showing their emotions towards each other and some could say they still love each other they same way they did then.
Idk, this whole band has my mind reeling. I doubt we'll ever really know what goes on between them all. :shrug:

Interesting! Thank you!:)
I di wish those 2 would put up pictures of their wedding though. I bet Christine made a lovely bride :angel:

Christine and Mick's relationship always seemed more brotherly-sisterly to me. It's obvious that they really love and care for each other, but it never struck me as anything more than a platonic relationship. Chris and Lindsey, however................

if you haven't yet, you may want to visit the thread "hot or not" in LB forum. might be something of interest to you there... :wavey:

I know we've talked about it before, but that 1997 article where John was drunk and told the interviewer to say hello to his ex-wife and said his ex was great, even though she'd told him to jump off ... that didn't seem like moving on to be her buddy was that easy a thing for him. I mean 1997 was a long time ago, but it was still 20 years after their divorce and he still seemed a little torn up. At least when he was in his cups.

And Stevie also had to helpfully add (again in 1997) that John and Christine would still be together, but for his drinking. Like someone was still analyzing the reason for the McVie breakup after all that time.

Michele

I actually saw this new documentary tonight- In it Ken C talks about the Mirage era. He says at that time, both Lindsey AND John were "buzzing" around their respective exes with "old feelings" and it was upsetting to both women.. So yeah, it was obvious about Lindsey- but who knew about John? Not me.

It was at that time, before Mirage came out I believe, that Stevie said she and Lindsey could totally get back together. But she added that they would just break up all over again, so it wouldn't be practical.

Michele

I'm convinced that was the reason for a lot of his anger towards her- being ok with acting like a couple, but not ever willing to be a couple again. Something he said in that Daily Mail article- we weren't even estranged, just not a couple- struck me as well.

Oh in 1981-1982 I think she would have been willing to be a couple again. They seemed to have kind of a short-lived tenderness going on during that period, but he didn't leave his girlfriend.

Michele

I think he would have dropped CAH in a heartbeat if she would've been willing to really come back.

This may not be the pic you saw, but they are both wearing hats in it.

I don't think he just wanted her back. They never seemed to break cleanly in the first place. They stopped being "husband and wife" but it seems they were still sleeping together occasionally. What he wanted was a household and monogamy and I don't think he ever thought he could get that from her during the height of their fame. Maybe he thought or hoped it in 1997 when he said she was like the girl he lived with all those years ago, but I don't think he thought that was a possibility in the eighties and I don't think he harbored any dream of getting back together with her. So, no I don't think he would have left his girlfriend for Stevie, not the way she was then. He didn't want just a liaison.

Michele

Ha ha. Mick looks very conspiratorial.

Michele

Exactly. I definitely think they were sleeping together off and on. I think he wanted a real, monogamous relationship with her- that she was not willing to have ever again really.

Though as far as harboring any dream of getting back together with her- I don't think he let go of that particular dream for literally decades.
