"Gilbert Blythe" trended on Twitter on April 18, 2015 after fans of the series and actor Jonathan Crombie heard of his sudden passing on April 15.[1][2] Fans posted fanart, screencaps, and gifs on Twitter and Tumblr in honor of the character that thousands fell in love since the 1980s when the films were released.
""Gilbert was many people's first love," wrote Sarah Larson for The New Yorker on Monday in one of several pieces about this very phenomenon. "Crombie gave Gilbert caring, intelligence, and dreaminess: qualities that enchant seventh-grade girls."Plenty of women who were in their adolescence during the late 1980's have indeed been mourning the loss of the handsome man who portrayed Gilbert Blythe on screen — but they're far from alone.
It would appear as though, just like the wider Anne of Green Gables franchise, Crombie has continued to rack up new fans from all over the world since the final film aired on CBC TV in 2000."[2]
