Russell T. Davies plans to leave for America. Click to read Sunday Express article.

Do you think he's ruined the show then done a runner? Decided to go out with a bang?

To me this this just cements the fact that this was his plan all along. He probably pushed for the stripped series so he could get it all over with faster and get out of Dodge. He could have done it without killing Ianto and destroying Jack though, to me that's just petty " I'm leaving and breaking my toys so you can't play with them" behavior. If he wanted to leave the BBC because he didn't like them controlling or compromising his work then he will get a rude awakening here. Joss Whedon is a prime example of that.

After all is said and done, JB will be fine, he always bounces back although I feel bad for him, I think he really loved the character of Captain Jack and there seemed to be a lot of JB in Jack. Gareth is the one I worry about, I've never understood why he wasn't getting more work. I think he is a very talented actor and took a few throwaway lines and scenes and turned them into one of the most popular characters in sci-fi fandom. I have no illusions that we will ever see Ianto on screen again, and at this point Gareth is probably trying to move on. I just hope we will get to see him in a new series soon.....

As for RTD, he's made his bed and now has to lie in it. I hope he's comfortable but I'm sure he is because he obviously doesn't live in the same world we all do. If he did CoE would never have happened.

Actually, in my world it didn't. I just listened to The Dead Line and now I'm waiting for season 3 of Torchwood which chronicles the adventures of Captain Jack, Ianto and Gwen as they struggle to rebuild TOrchwood 3 after the events of Exit Wounds and protect Cardiff and the world from aliens and the rift. Oh and the blossoming relationship with Jack/Ianto is explored in depth as well (Hee).

Sorry for this long rambling post. I'm not a fic writer, at least nothing I am confident to share with anyone but I have felt the need to say something in print to help me get past this long torturous week. Thanks to anyone who took the time to read. The hurt is starting to heal.

That's actually what I'm thinking, but it still seems surreal! One week I'm bouncy and happy in the Torchwood universe and then the other week everything is thrown apart and I can't get my head around it.

That's exactly how I feel... I review my posts I made after Day 1 and think how happy I was then. Finally some new Torchwood.
And I had hope that nobody would die... and JB said that we would be very happy with the season in terms of J/I.

Well, that turned out well, didn't it ?

Well maybe he meant that we finally hear those three words out of Ianto's mouth even if we don't get it with Jack.

Now the article that said JB felt punished by the BBC with a stripped series makes sense. Love how with all the TW hoopla, that would be the article to come out before CoE when other articles talked about how excited the whole cast was for s3...

Yeah maybe...

Thought so afterwards too!
