One of which is that by making his relationship with Jack so overt he has been placed fairly and squarely in the most dangerous seat in TV Land, ie the Lead's Love Interest. How many of them survive the story arc?
I love double standards like this. Many claim that this is why Gwen is "safe" because she would then become the 'love interest'. Or that she was safe in s1 because it was seen as her being the 'love interest' to Jack. So why is Gwen safe and Ianto not?
More importantly, the very fact that Gareth himself originally said that he was intending to go to LA for pilot season is a great big screaming alarm bell to me that here is an actor who considers himself free and uncommitted and looking for a long term gig.
He doesn't consider himself free and uncommitted, he knows that s3 isn't going to be shown until mid year. Then it depends on if the beeb are happy with the ratings before they green light s4. Everyone involved in the show have said if everything goes to plans then they won't start shooting until the end of the year. So he knows he has a whole year to try and earn money. Why not take the opportunity, when you have been paid for an LA appearance (which often includes flights) to come over a bit earlier and see what you can get, or at least get your name out there. To do it around a time when you are being mentioned in the media as one of three leads for the BBCA top rating show, smart boy.
Oh and the persistent spoiler rumours dates back to one post on the Doctor Who Forum where a poster, with limited history on the site, claimed that either Rhys or Ianto will die because they know someone on the production staff. It then got repeated all over the place.
