He was originally supposed to be a character named icuris (can't spell) in Torchwood, but since he was already Yanto Jones here, Russel T Davies let him have Ianto Jones because he wasn't having the other name.
@Namaechan oh man can't blame him tho...if i was going on a blind date and GDL ended up my date i'd be just as big a stuttering fool as this guy was :) hahaha
What you don't see is later, Leo comes back from the bar with their drinks and Yanto's with a group of girls. Poor kid, getting blown off by Yanto Jones.
I love RTD's little hats-off to TW's Ianto in this series. It's just so... TV Sci-Fi to do something like that. It's such a geeky fangirl/boy thing to do. RTD, you are my sunshine.
LOL. Yanto Jones. It's so perfect. ^_^ I adore Gareth in Torchwood and it's awesome that he's playing someone with practically the same name, also gay, in this show.
I thought it was spelled with a Y in this series, though. Which is weird. I just think it's weird he's got the same name. It's exactly the same meaning and everything just a different spelling, I've heard. Still hot though. xD
In torchwood the character was called iris hopper, but when Gareth got the part they changed the character name, Gareth says he thinks its cause russell T felt bad this scene was actually cut out of the final show of mine all mine so Gareth could have his character back.
because the character in TW was originally called Idris Hopper not Ianto Jones and when Gareth got the part Russell T. Davies decided to use this name instead :D
After Idris was changed to Ianto for teh above reason they made the mayors assistant Idris Hopper in the books, for some reason they seem to like that name.
haha, ahh yes, I remember reading that about Ianto orginally being Idris...
That would have been hilarious...I somehow don't think that people would have followed the "Jidris" pairing as ardently as they follow Janto. Doesn't quite have that ring...
the scenes with Garteh were cut from mine all mine, due in part to the fact 2 eps were made into one, but according to RTD he was impressed with Gareth so he asked him to play the character of Ianto. cos in mine all mine he was Yanto, it's on his wikipedia page and russell mentions it on a couple of interviews.
Russel T. Davies has a habit of recasting actors he's worked with and reusing names in different series. It means nothing in the grand scheme of things; it's just kinda funny to notice.
@thaursir He does that often, but in this particular case it was intentional. In 'Mine All Mine' Gareth got most of his storyline cut when the BBC lost funding (or something like that), so when he got the part in Torchwood, RTD changed the characters name to Ianto in honour of that part
love this.... meow... eyebrow raise, hes bloody gorgeous. hes not in it alot more, no more lines tho there is a cute scene where hes on the date and theyre saying nithing, just basically drinking his pint and being uncomfy before he abandons him for a chit chat with some girls at the next table lol.
Oh my god he is so gorgeous...
