If I had to guess at tomorrow's play...

I'd say it probably involves some revelation about Jack knowing that Ianto's going to die. This may or may not take the form of some random fandom dig, again. That's just my speculation.

I haven't heard the last one yet, to be fair, I'm waiting for a spare 45 mins. Which will shortly become a spare hour and a half and then two fifteen. Damn children.

BTW, If you've heard stuff by the time you read this, feel free (in other words PLEASE) to spoil me in the comments, I'd kind of like to know the reeling Ianto revelations before I listen, I'm not in the mood for new IantoCanon if it's going to be Debenhams-style ShitCanon and I will happily just ignore it.

There's going to be a character called 'Mr Jones' in the final play and considering the nature of the story - ghosts? - I wonder of the voice of Ianto's father turns up.

I really really don't want it to be another Jack-related issue that Ianto's got to think about - not unless Jack actually responds to Ianto's worries this time, in a distant Jack-like manner of course.

I'd rather it wasn't anything to do with Jack myself, but if there's a daddy thing involved I am staying well away. Russell's got an awful history giving people daddy issues and Ianto's post-death pasted-on daddy issues really rubbed me up the wrong way in CoE, I'd rather not hear any more of them. Especially in light of the hero-worshippy way RTD wrote the Jack-Ianto dynamic in CoE, which gives the whole thing a squickiness it didn't before.

I just want something original, not 'I'm going to die young and Jack's going to forget about me' if at all possible.

Ianto left so many questions behind -

a)what happened to his mother?
b) why did he know about that hospital in From Out of the Rain?
c) why did Evon 'little miss empire' Hartman hire someone who was only "an able student but not exceptional"??

If RTD ever decides to bring Ianto back, he's got a good excuse for doing it - just who WAS Ianto Jones?

And yeah! for Ianto picscam.

I'm still waiting for any mention of a mother for Ianto. I'm beginning to believe it was an immaculate conception by the father (Torchwood-related, of course) and that's what we'll find out tomorrow! Daddy Dearest resented his baby boy for ruining his figure; he couldn't fit into any of those impeccably tailored suits he had in his closet after Ianto was born...he also got arthritis in his hands soon after so he couldn't make any more, which is why he had to work in Debenham's instead. Major daddy issues, indeed
