*is also confused* Huh, it doesn't appear to be so. Eh. I can't get the lighting right, anyways...
Personally, I hope they only touch Ianto with a ten-foot pole. Because I like him, I think he's a great character that does well with the understatement - if they just dropped a couple hints here and there, you know, that he has (or had, anyway) a life outside Torchwood, that would be fine. Or even if they addressed that he didn't. But I doubt he had some sort of dramatic/traumatic background, and I don't want to have to swallow the mess the writers would give us if they had to come up with one for him in their usual fashion. (And yes, we're looking at you, Tosh!story and Owen!story.) It's just the blatant... ignoring that annoys me.
