Right, no G demand equals no movement.

Let's mark that answer as correct!

As I see it, while stalled at 1g, the elevator position is a demand for a increase/decrease in G which wont be met until the AoA is such that the wing is flying again. The THS will move to supplement the SS/Elevator demand as long as this G request is not being met. Elevator at 0 equals no G demand.
