Huh. I think I need to stop reading interviews. They didn't decide until the start of filming to change from killing Ianto to killing Owen??? They really didn't have a storyline planned for Ianto this series, did they? Sex with Jack would have been over barely after it started. Adam was originally episode 10? No crying in Fragments? Wow, that would have made Ianto pretty damned cold. Gwen's lines were assigned to Ianto in FOOTR? I guess characters really are interchangeable.

It scares me that we really do owe Ianto to Gareth, not the writers. I'd be really frightened for series 3 if I knew Chibnall was involved, frankly.
