With the possibility of the Gwen/Rhys relationship getting even more attention in series 3, if we don't now get some serious attention given to the Jack/Ianto relationship after 2 years, it probably means that the writers never will. And if Julie Gardner's words about 'professional and personal sacrifices' being made apply to Gwen, then it could just spell the end of the Gwen/Rhys relationship, if Gwen's forced to choose between the two.
My biggest gripe with many Janto fans, is that while some of them are prefectly happy to see Jack have sexual tension with other people, if you put the words 'Ianto' and 'girlfriend' in the same sentence they get upset. It's as if it's prefectly acceptable for Jack to develop attachments to other people but not Ianto - Ianto must remain attcahed to Jack at all costs and not even glance at another potential love interest, particularly female ones.
Unless Jack's going to finally fall for Ianto big-time at some point, their relationship is going nowhere and the writers should allow Ianto to move on with his development.
