1) If series 4 doesn't return to its standard 13 episodes - and even JB isn't yet convinced that it will, which is interesting - Gareth would be at a loose end for 8 months out of 12, plenty of time to have another long-term project.
2) The person who first started the rumour about Ianto dying in series 3, said that a member of the film crew had told her. Now I don't know about film crew who are at the bottom of the ladder of authority but those at the top certainly wouldn't go around giving out big spoilers. Even the death of Tosh didn't get out until just 2 weeks before Exit Wounds aired and that came via a James Marsters website. Also, she said that she couldn't say on the forum itself whether it would be Ianto or Rhys because her 'friend' would know it was her who'd leaked the info. Well I'm quite sure that her friend would know it was her anyway.
3) If Ianto was killed off in series 3, the writers would be repeating themselves at the start of S4 - ie let the team get over the deaths of Owen and Tosh in series 3 and then repeat the situation all over again with Ianto in series 4.

I'm still 50/50 regarding Ianto's death.
