Hmmm.... I don't know. His voice was used in the episode when Julia was reading the letters, remember? They would have to give him at least some credit for that- and I don't think that the writers and creators of the show would be foolish enough to spoil a major plotline with a name in the credits. As Gillies' actual face was not seen, they could use anybody as him- assuming that he is a character that we've seen, though I'm not convinced- and therefore avoid the issue of using his name in the end credits. I'm pretty sure that it's just recognition for the voice acting. I didn't think about that and you might be right. Indeed we could hear the voice of GILLIES when Julia was reading the letter in the previous episode and the name of Micheal SEATER appeared in the end credits. But I'm still convinced that GILLIES followed Julia during her investigations -even if I didn't see his face- because of the funny walk of this extra in the background. According to me, the gait of this extra was not natural and of course if it was actually GILLIES, the writers/creators surely would not want him to be recognized and so he must hide his face. Moreover maybe the creators choosed to launch the trailer of the next episode and the end credits in the same time in order that people do not notice the name of Micheal SEATER.

WARNING: SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SO STOP READING IF YOU DON'T WANT TO FIND OUT SOMETHING YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW.
Julia was actually followed by GILLIES; he's still alive and I have now a proof you can't deny. Indeed you can read "James GILLIES Micheal SEATER" at the end of the episode at the fourth line in the credits. His name doesn't appear in the opening credits in order to not spoiler the effect of surprise of the next episodes. The same trick was used for "USUAL SUSPECTS" and "SEVEN" in order to not find out who was Kayser SÖZE and who was the killer in « SEVEN » before having watched/seen the end of the films/movies.

I keep believing that GILLIES is still alive. I think Julia was followed when she was investigating in the street near the opera. Indeed when she stopped walking just in front of the poster/the bill against the wall, I first focused my attention on it and I think it was a desired effect by the producers, everybody surely did the same. But then I noticed in the background, on the pavement/sidewalk, a man who was slowly walking head down with a cane, wearing a hat which hide his face but not his long blond hair. And according to his build, I think it could be GILLIES.

After having found the picture of William, Julia understands that she has no choice anymore if she wants to protect him. She can't tell William, she must stop investigating of her own and worse she can't agree his proposal. She's stuck. Indeed she realised that whoever who blackmails her and threatens them -GILLIES or someone else- this one proved to her that he was able to be very closed to William without arousing any undue attention; the picture of William was taken a few meters from him, within the station house 4, just in front of his own office. Now she knows for certain that he could easily approach William and kill him.
The last scene is just grandiose, I loved it!
To finish, I have the impression that the producers/writers make us to think that Lesley could be behind this. - Lesley might have a desire of revenge against Julia and William. - This character is unfriendly. - Lesley pretends to like Julia and William. - He met Julia and William by chance when they just walk out from the french restaurant and so we could say that he might fallow and/or watch them. - He offered Julia tickets for the opera. - To bring William the tickets is another opportunity for him to come and go to the station house 4 without being noticed. - The letter is typed. - Lesley has a camera (he took pictures in Loch Ness Murdoch). But it seems so obvious and a litle bit too much obvious that I can believe this theory. It would be no surprises.

Hélène Joy has been nominated at the Canadian Screen Awards 2014 which will take place on March 9th for best lead actress in a drama for "Murdoch Mysteries". Julia being my favorite character in the show and Hélène one of my favorite actress I'm obviously really happy she got nominated. Let's all cross fingers MURDOCH MYSTERIES is the only one Canadian TV show that I know and watch so I can't compare her with the others nominated actresses. But all I can say is that until I saw her acting in the last scene of the first episode of the fifth season, I wasn't interested by the performances of actresses. So yes I can say Hélène JOY is a very good actress and even the best if I compare her with American actresses.

Who is the more infuriating? Henry or George. I love how MURDOCH responded, the expressions on his face and his replies. It was very funny and George's reactions to Henry's comments are also hilarious. I wonder how they could have been remained serious when they were acting. Just to watch their face made me laugh.

This episode was very interesting. The story took place to the rhythm of the music and I couldn't help but stomp. - William and Julia were happy. I'm not as optimistic as they are -I think GILLIES is still alive- but CARPE DIEM! - It seemed that Inspector BRACKENREID enjoyed using questionable methods. I laughed when MURDOCH asked him to come with him to the docks and when he assured MURDOCH -taking off his leather glove- that Mr O'SHEA told him the truth. He was so proud of himself. - The voices of the singers are very pleasant to hear. They are also good musicians. Bravo! - Lesley GARLAND tried to seduce Dr GRACE and she abandoned George at the end of the episode... Poor George! It was sad. I loved the character of George but I would prefer to see him with an other woman because I think there is no chimestry between the two characters. And I must admit that Lesley GARLAND used a technic of seduction which might work... the problem is that he is maybe not a gentleman. To be continued.

I liked when MURDOCH was so engrossed in his work/calculations that he didn't notice that the ground under his own feet started shaking. George tried to focuse his attention but in vain. Indeed MURDOCH totally ignored him. Only Julia menaged to get him out of his concentration. The first time he answered her so distracted but he did. It was cute.

No. Never. Not even in the middle of a nightmare. I was very disappointed. According to me, this shouldn't have happened. Not even to create a diversion. I always thought that James GILLIES was a narcissistic psychopath and that he couldn't stand to have someone more clever than him. And I like the character and the storylines about him except this last one. GILLIES had almost managed to commit the perfect crime; he wanted to prove his superiority to everyone but he underestimated the skills of the detective. MURDOCH had no evidence of his guilt that's why he has lured Robert PERRY into not trust in his partner anymore. I had the impression that GILLIES didn't consider Robert PERRY as a friend but more as his puppet, that he manipulated him. But if Robert PERRY was really his friend, it could explain that GILLIES felt betrayed and that he decided to changed the rules of his little games and to avenge MURDOCH, to hurt him by killing Julia. This kiss was unexpected and I don't understand what it means -was GILLIES in love with MURDOCH since the beginning? I don't think so- but it makes me think the relationship between Julia and William appears to be in a deadlock. It's as if the writers ran out of ideas. Not to mention that GILLIES escaped one more time and maybe he is still alive. The kiss wasn't sexual. It was just about rattling and mocking Murdoch. Gillies wanted him angry and distracted so he could run to the edge of the bridge and jump off. But he couldn't get away from Murdoch unless he got him off him. His hands were shackled so he couldn't fight, the only thing left was to kiss William. That would be sure to make him jump up, and it worked. Gillies isn't capable of feeling love for others. He only loves himself. And we've had nothing to suggest he's attracted to men, in fact he doesn't seem to have a sexuality at all. Even if he was gay/bi he still wasn't kissing William because he was attracted to him. It was a tactic. Just like riling up the others on the train and making the constables act like bumbling idiots. It was his only means of escape. He is certain to be alive. No body was found which confirms he'll be back at some point. Yanssen said every show needs a master villain and that's Gillies, that was indicating he'll be back at some point. Though they can't have him escaping once again. If and when he returns it has to be the end of it. William and Julia are starting to get past Darcy's death and are moving back to a normal relationship. They said this episode was a turning point for them. So I expect they'll become more coupley from now on. I know that this kiss was just only a way/tactic to escape and that it's not about the sexuality of GILLIES. But it makes me angry because it tarnishes the image of the character of MURDOCH. The detective is the main character and he shouldn't have been misled by this type of ruse. Since the beginning, GILLIES didn't cease to manipulate MURDOCH so he should have been more suspicious. Ce baiser, c'était la goutte d'eau qui fait déborder le vase. This kiss was the straw that broke the camel's back. But I will keep in mind what you said the next time I will watch this episode. Thank you, Murdochic, for your explanations.

I really hope that James Gillies is dead, after all he was handcuffed, and I don't think it's easy to swim with handcuffs around the wrists. This James Gillies story is getting boring, it turns like the Young and the Restless/Bold and Beautiful with Sheila Carter who was killed after more than 20 years. I'm very scared that Gillies come back and kill William and Julia. He likely is coming back or the door is left open. They've already implied it. They'd never kill off Murdoch, you can't have the show without him. They'd also not kill off Julia, not unless the actress wanted to leave. I hoped too that this episode would be the last, the end of the GILLIES storyline. MURDOCH and GILLIES both could have fell down the bridge together during a fight, and MURDOCH could have bring him back on the shore alive -just to enjoy to see him hanged- or dead. Instead, he remains a threat for William and Julia. And now everything seems possible; even the worst.

Emily wasn't there in this episode? I didn't even notice. XD Exactly. I only noticed she wasn't in it when Julia checked the body. Then I forgot again until the end and I realised she hadn't appeared. I didn't miss her. Julia just took her old role back. I noticed that Dr GRACE wasn't in the train and it was perfectly understandable -the transfert of a prisoner is a police operation, it's almost impossible to predict a murder and she was not a victim- and I didn't really care. I didn't miss her.

I'm pretty sure he'll either be there for a flashback/recap or a trial scene. I'm pretty sure he doesn't have anything to do with the actual plot of ep 1. As I said before, I thought he might be there for a hanging- but he pops up later in the season, so that probably won't be the case. I think you're right about flashback, watch this (bad quality) video (http://statigr.am/p/539024204182292126_339312016).
