TORCHWOOD WEEK: Eve Myles interviewed

Today it’s the turn of Eve Myles, aka Gwen Cooper.

Since episode nine is set on the day of your wedding to Rhys, can we assume that he still doesn't know about Gwen’s affair with Owen?
“Erm... yes. Yeah, he doesn't know anything about it.”
Please, please just don't be another 'Random Shoes'. You mean she *still* hasn’t told him, surprise, surprise *rolls eyes* Rhys is going to marry her! I feel sorry for Rhys. He deserves someone who loves him, not someone who just wants him around until someone better comes along.

Does Gwen’s relationship with Jack go in a different direction this year?
“Yes. The subtext is huge, constantly, and it moves on a level. As long as it's not actual text. They give each other the space. He knows what she’s up to and she certainly knows what he's up to in the Hub with... certain people. Certain people huh, I wonder who that could be...*points to icon* And that's why they get on so well, that's why they love each other so much, because they have a huge amount of respect and acceptance for one another.”

Is Gwen quite faithful to Rhys?
'Yes, yes she is [sounds disappointed]. Yes, she’s very good.'
Sounds disappointed? So, she likes that her character is unfaithful?

Has she learnt her lesson, then?
'Personally I hope not [laughs] But yeah, I think she has. I think she's trying to cling on to the only thing that’s normal and that’s Rhys, the only thing that grounds her.'
HUH?...She clings to him by cheating on him?

Is it just me who thinks she's just settling for Rhys *for god's sake woman let the boy go and join a nunnery* and she's still habouring the 'One Twu Luv' isn't she. Though at least she got the sense to realise he's otherwise engaged *grin*

It is not just you. Poor, poor man. Rhys deserves someone who loves him, not someone who just wants him around until someone better comes along.

'She's still habouring the 'One Twu Luv' isn't she.' Oh yes, it really is sad.


'Though at least she got the sense to realise he's otherwise engaged *grin*' Hahaha

Is it just me or does Eve Myles seem a bit weird to you? I have seen her interviewed and she seems to be in a different program to the rest of the cast.

I am actually starting to feel sorry for Eve Myles. Not only does she play a widely-despised character, but the fact that her interviews talk about an entirely different direction for the show than what is actually onscreen...well, frankly, it's starting to make her look pretty damn stupid IMO.
