Torchwood Scoop!


"Eve Myles, who plays Gwen Cooper in BBC America's Torchwood, told SCI FI Wire that the upcoming second season will feature a balance of action and romance. "You guys have so much to look forward to," Myles said in a phone interview. "There's a handful of new monsters. You've got the supernatural to look forward to. You've got beautiful love stories to look forward to." Myles added that more will be revealed about the mysterious Capt. Jack Harkness (John Barrowman), the leader of the alien-fighting team at the center of the series.


"You've got wonderful storylines about Jack's past," she said. "You get to find out a lot more about where Capt. Jack Harkness came from. You've got some really great guests coming into it. One week it'll have you laughing off your chair, the next week it'll have you crying into a pillow, and the week after, you'll be kind of in this kind of sinister mood after it." Myles added: "There's tons and tons of ingredients in this series, and it makes a really beautiful soup."


The Welsh actress also expressed her excitement that the second season of the show would be arriving on American television so soon after premiering in the United Kingdom (the first episode of season two aired there on Jan. 16).


"You've got it really quickly this time 'round, and I'm chuffed to bits about that," she said. "So you won't have to wait as long as last year. It'll be really cool. ... You're going to have a lovely treat. I'm so pleased that it's going out so quickly to you guys." The second season premiere of Torchwood, featuring guest star James Marsters (Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel), airs on BBC America Jan. 26 at 9 p.m. ET/PT. --Cindy White "
