"I think my best effort writing Ianto was 'Mourning Rights' and that wasn't even really about him, it was about Rhys and Gwen. But indirectly and rather significantly it was also an Ianto story, and maybe that's the way I should try to write him - from other people's points of view."
Yes, I remember 'Mourning Rights' very well. As little as we know about Ianto, writing him from other people's points of view is a better idea.
"I think it was his betrayal of Jack in 'End of Days' that made me a little gunshy where Ianto was concerned."
Me too. I don't understand his choice, not like with Owen or Gwen. And his betrayal makes me even more unsure of him.
"Perhaps they just like John Simm more than I do?"
LOL! Maybe that's the case. While I don't think very high of Simm!master nor think Mr Simm is sexy, I do think he's a very good TV actor. I have a strong respect for any actor who can cry four times in an episode and get away with it.
