I don't know any more than you do, but this is what I think.

1) It's possible that there are two actors playing Gilbert in the one movie (though I don't think so). Since this movie is based on both Anne of Green Gables and Anne of Avonlea, maybe Paul Kelly played the schoolboy-Gilbert and George Stewart played the love-interest-Gilbert.

2) I don't think Christopher Blake was in Anne of Green Gables at all. I know Robin Halstead was in episodes 2-5 out of 5. I think the first episode was about what happened before Gilbert was introduced (Anne arrived at Green Gables, lost her temper at Rachel Lynde, met Diana, lost Marilla's brooch, "confessed" and so on). It doesn't make sense to have two actors for Gilbert in an adaptation of only the first book. I think it's much more likely that Robin Halstead acted in Anne of Green Gables, and then Christopher Blake acted in Anne of Avonlea three years later.
