Captain Jack

Season Two Torchwood Gay Spoiler!

The first season of Torchwood doesn't even air for almost two weeks in the U.S., but already leaks about Season Two — currently filming in the U.K. — are popping up. And one of them is great news for those hoping for a gay relationship on the show.


***SPOILER***

SyFyPortal.com is reporting that in Season Two, Captain Jack (John Barrowman) is going to become involved romantically with Ianto Jones (Gareth David-Lloyd), something hinted at in Season One. During the recent Collerctormania convention in Scotland, David-Lloyd told SyFyPortal's Alan Stanley Blair that "I've got to be careful because they haven't given me a list of things I'm allowed to say yet so I've got to be careful otherwise they will get me into trouble. The only thing I will say is that the Jack and Ianto thing develops, and from what it is it's pretty fun so there's that."

And all I can say is woo hoo! The first season of Torchwood was already groundbreaking in simply having an out actor play the bisexual lead in a television series, much less a science fiction action series. On top of that, the possibility of Jack and Ianto having a relationship was hinted at, not to mention the fact the first season featured several male same-sex kisses, and one especially touching scene between two male characters.

The fact that the second season of the show will have Jack and Ianto pursue a relationship only cements the status of Torchwood as a revolutionary program that is boldly going where no other science fiction show has dared to go!
