A couple of my sources in Cardiff have revealled some interesting news regarding both "Doctor Who" Season Two, and "Torchwood", both of which (I'm sure you'll agree) sound very very promising indeed!
+Doctor Who Season Two
A lot of this season finale ("Army Of Ghosts"/"Doomsday") has already been recorded, in September - January, but a lot of its scenes were recorded with a skeleton crew, suggesting that something happens in these scenes that the BBC want to keep secret (I doubt its Jack's return, because Barrowman has been busy during this period). Perhaps Miss Piper finally leaves the show...paving way for a guest appearence in Torchwood...?
+Torchwood
Rumour has it that when the BBC begin publicity for the new series of Doctor Who in March, they'll release a pree release for "Torchwood" to try and capture some of Doctor Who attention. The rumours suggest that this press release will finally announce the casting of Gwen, as well as Jack's two other companions, as well as several of the other writers, ahead of the start of principle photography in April. I guess we'll just have to wait and see...But if any news is announced, you can bet Torchwoodtv will be amongst the first to report it!
Oh, and btw, its almost our 100th post here...Who's betting that Kurly has something nice to celebrate with?

The following was posted on several livejournal communities today and is apparantly a press release from the BBC.
***SPOILERS BELOW***
It includes casting news and a picture of John and his female co-star.
And he's wearing leather and looking so goregous I could just eat him up *giggles and blushes*. Ooh it's cold shower time I think ;)
Please note though: I don't think this is official since I would have expected a Torchwood press release to be mentioned on the Dr Who sites and I can't find the press release on the BBC site. Until anything more is released, we should probably treat this as a rumour

Welsh actress Eve Myles is to play the lead female role in Doctor Who spin-off series Torchwood.
Myles will play the role of Gwen opposite John Barrowman in the 13-part serial, to be screened later this year.
The drama, penned by Russell T Davies, will chart the adventures of a renegade team of crime investigators who solve both human and alien mysteries.
Davies, who wrote the comeback series of Doctor Who, said he created the role especially for the actress.
The new series, which centres on the character of Captain Jack, is due to begin filming in the summer and will be screened on BBC One and BBC Three.
Anagram
The drama is inspired by Doctor Who, but there will be no fictional crossover between the two programmes.
It is intended for a post-watershed audience.
Myles, whose previous credits include appearing alongside Sir Michael Gambon in a National Theatre production of Henry IV, appeared in the first series of the revived Doctor Who.
Russell T Davies is writer and one of the new series' executive producers
"I've admired Eve's work for years, and when she was able to guest-star in Doctor Who last year, it just confirmed to me that she was one of Wales's best-kept secrets," said Swansea-born Davies.
The "sexy, funny" spin-off, whose name is an anagram of Doctor Who, will be set in Cardiff.
"Doctor Who has a completely different feel to this kind of thing. This is set in the same place every week. It's a different sort of fun to Doctor Who," said Davies.
"It's an urban series, very much set on Earth," he added.
