SPOILERED COMMENTS ARE TO BE LEFT ON THIS POST

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?

As if he didn't piss off just as many American fans. Yes, Russ, come closer...

That's shocking, but he has a point. We make A LOT of television over here. He's becoming too big for the confines (as I understand it) of the BBC. Because he has all these great shows under his belt, he can draw more power over here, and then like he said, learn a lot more and bring it back.

I think it spells the end of Torchwood, though, but then I thought that after seeing the end of CoE.

I think it's psychopaths saying that to him in the street in the UK that's making him piss off to the US ... let him know he's no longer welcome 'til we gets Yantoes back!

I did balk for a bit at the part of the article that says "Torchwood, starring Eve Myles." No mention of JB? If so, does that imply something about any future seasons of TW?

But I guess it makes sense that he'd come to the US. Didn't Julie Gardner make the move to Los Angeles or something like that?

Thats going to be interesting. In the US they got money, so it is claimed but they are strict over there. His ego has really grown lately.

If he ruined Torchwood because of this he is not going to be popular

I'm wondering if this means he'd make the same type of show just based in America, like one based about UNIT or something.

Yes, if anything I think the pressure for him to make a successful show here from the start will be greater. Because shows do get canceled mid-season or never even get picked up from a pilot.

Aw sweety! I'm just a harmless fan! I love you, and Torchwood, especialy COE. Now come on in for some coffee or tea and we can talk more about it, like Ianto Jones for instance...

I'll have to refrain from sharpening my knives or poisoning him with paint if he ever comes near me. And he certainly won't be able to pull that king of shotty writn over here, the networks cancel on a whim.

I wonder what the fan reaction will be at the Torchwood panel at San Diego Comic Con given CoE will have just aired that week on BBC America.

... and the fans will still be filled with the fresh anger! Get 'im, America!!

It amuses me slightly that America will be joining the fight to save Ianto a little bit after the Brits.

Honestly ... bloody yanks ... late for every war ;)

The Eve Myles comment made me jarr too. What the hell? Say "Eve Myles" to a randomer on the street and you get a funny look. Say "John Barrowman" and they either go "Oh god no ... not him again ... " or "Yayyyyyyyy Captain Jack Harkness! You know, I have all his CD's and his book and the audio book of his book and all the Torchwood and and Doctor Who DVDs - though I only have Children of Earth because they brought the release date forward and I couldn't cancel my pre-order ..."


Another popular reaction would probably be: "John Barrowman? Dammit I wish he was straight!"

*sniff* all this talk about cancellation makes me think of Pushing Daisies

Lets hope it its the last thing you mentioned that will happen...

And does he think he's going to be safe here? *cackles maniacally* I may have to find a way to get cross country and make a visit to Hollywood... I'm sure there are plenty of non-violent ways to torture someone so the torturer can't be incriminated. *looks innocent*

And yeah, 'starring Eve Myles'? Is that why John's name is in the credits first? Hmmm....

*clings to Ianto*

Oh god. I predict rioting. :p There will certainly be plenty of outrage. Hopefully, though, they'll keep it civil when they demand answers.

I was thinking of my good water colors, the tubes for which are covered in warnings about how eating them can kill you, cause cancer and birth defects!

I'm tired, and my spelling is likely atrociou, even for an American. Sorry.

Water colours are water based, so they'll break down in the system before they can properly get in there.

I personally prefer working with acrylics - we could stick some on biscuits and serve them with coffee. ;)

My mum thought it was waste of good-looking man when I told her JB was gay. I then showed her a picture of Scott. She was swearing lightly, my mum never does that!, about it was not fair!:D

It really isn't fair. He's such a cruel bastard. How dare he be so good-looking and waste it?????

Though, I think there are many bisexual and homosexual males out there who don't really see him being gay as a bad thing ... in fact for them it's probably more of a gain than a loss ...

selfish it is. Bloody selfish ;)

If he is going to America does this also spell the end for Doctor Who and The Sarah Jane Adventures. I also didn't like the way the article said 'Torchwood starring Eve Myles' what happened to John and Gareth have they suddenly become invisble.
All I can say is, he better watch himself at SDCC there are going to be alot of pissed off Torchwood fans.

It's the Saint Gwen show - didn't any body tell you?

RTD's already left as head writer of Doctor Who, so that's safe. Steven Moffat - who wrote classic episodes such as "Girl in the Fireplace", "The Empty Child/Doctor Dances" and - who could possibly ever forget - "Blink", has taken over.

Oh yeah, Russell. Running away seems to be a recurring theme for you and your characters, doesn't it!!!
Get your arse back here and face the damage you did!!!
I hope we can trust our American cousins to cause as much uproar in the next week as we did.
