Since Jack disappeared at the end of Series 1, Gwen and her boyfriend Rhys are engaged. Rhys (Kai Owen) will finally get to find out about what Gwen’s been up to in her job.
Gwen (Eve Myles) and Rhys have a wedding near the end of the series (I nearly said “get married”, but then I noticed that none of the cast or crew used those words). The wedding episode — which is a lighter episode between two very dark ones — involves vampires, and Ianto (Gareth David-Lloyd) saves the day.
Ianto and Jack’s relationship is set to develop, with Jack asking Ianto out for a proper date. For those interested (or intrigued), Ianto still keeps his stopwatch handy.
Tom Price, who plays PC Andy, is back in episode 1 — and will have a substantial role to play further down the line.
Series 1’s Weevils are to make at least one return appearance.
Martha Jones (Freema Agyeman) makes an appearance in three episodes after Jack calls her in as someone he trusts completely. Initially that causes tension between her and Gwen.
Alan Dale (Neighbours, The OC, Ugly Betty) appears in one episode, appearing to be very interested in Martha’s history as someone who has travelled in space and time.
Balanced against this is the character's gentler side, and a wonderful scene between him and Ianto in an office not only makes their relationship overt but positions it front and centre as a core point of the series. Both actors play it honestly and with an unforced sweetness and this looks set to be one of the series' most interesting ongoing relationships.
