Thoughts on bbc Torchwood/Doctor Who casting

[silver_sun]

I'll spoiler cut this just in case people haven't seen/don't want to know about who will have a guest part in Torchwood next series. All the info's in on the main bbc web site and i'm sure a fair few newspapers, so not sure how long people will be unspoilled for. But they wont be spoiler by me - unless they want to be course, but you can say you weren't warned 

Martha's going to Torchwood! No idea how or why, just that the bbc have said that it will be for three episodes.

Jack/Martha flirting will almost certainly happen, and Owen will probably try to chat her up.
She'll probably get on with Tosh quiet well, they both have that smart yet a little bit geek thing going for them. Not sure about Gwen, she'll probably be nice to her in the hopes of finding out more about Jack.
The one i'm wondering about how Ianto will take having Martha hanging around, being as she is looks likes Adeola  who he worked with at Torchwood One. (who was also placed by Freema before she got the part of Martha)
I can imagine meeting her might be a bit of a shock, especially if didn't know about Adeola having a cousin that looked a lot like her.

Equally I wonder how Martha will react to meeting Ianto, once she finds out that he was one of the few people to survive the Cybermen/Dalek attack at Canary Wharf,  where her cousin died. Will she want  answers from him about just what happened there? or will she just not know what to say to him?

Either way it could make for some quite interesting scenes, if the script writers bother to think of it that is.

Somehow, I don't think Gwen will take too well to Martha's arrival. In series 1 so much was made of Gwen being the 'one' Jack could talk to etc etc....and now someone is coming along that has shared memories and history with Jack, a true connection.

It seems likely to me that it does put a spanner in the works as far as Gwen's 'special' relationship with Jack is concerned.
