First "Torchwood: Children of Earth" details emerge

DigitalSpy snagged producer Peter Bennett and squeezed him until some details about Torchwood Season 3 popped out, as well as a little damage control about rumors that John Barrowman will be packing up his Tardis and going home after this run.

Perhaps of more immediate interest to us, Torchwood Magazine sat down with series director Euros Lyn (who directed all five eps of the arc) and confirmed that the relationship between Jack (Barrowman) and Ianto (Gareth David-Lloyd) won't be cut due to the shortened season or backburnered because of the show's move to a higher-profile timeslot and channel:

"Also, the love story between Captain Jack and Ianto continues to unfold, as does the story of married life for Gwen and Rhys"

Speaking of Gareth David-Lloyd, the local fave also spoke with BBC reporters recently about the new season, revealing that as a full-fledged member of the TW team this go-round he gets to do a lot more running and jumping. Action Ianto! My favorite kind.

We know we've got some serious Torchwoodies and Barrowmaniacs here, as evidenced by the rankings in this year's Visibility Awards. How do folks feel about the news?  

Update: It looks like these and more links are being posted over in the Torchwood forums. Do check them out and thanks to Crabby Lioness for the info!
