Ianto Shrine has been vandalised
For years, a friend and I have been planning a visit to Cardiff (We're from Australia so it's quite a trip!), to visit all the famous Doctor Who/Torchwood Filming occasions, one of the spots on our list was the Ianto Shrine.
Unfortunately, it looks like the Ianto Plaque has been vandalized, with the only the wood back plate remaining, the brass plaque has been stolen.
We were already quite disappointed to hear about the shrines removal in April, however seeing that even the plaque had been vandalized and stolen was even more disappointing.
Hopefully mermaid quay will reinstate it, preferably this time with more robust mounting hardware. But more likely this spells the permanent end to the Ianto Shrines 18 year history.

drawing Torchwood London (audio dramas)!
as soon as i drew Ianto with the Torchwood Cardiff team and saw 2 empty spaces beside him, i KNEW i had to finish off the rest of the Torchwood One team including a new updated Yvonne look!
Yvonne, Ianto and Tommy have become one of my all-time favourite Torchwood teams (especially in Less Majesty) so why not add them to my growing book of Torchwood fanart!
i PROMISEEE the Torchwood Soho gang is coming soon, i know i keep putting it off but ive already started the outline for the King himself, Gideon Lyme.
by all means, if you’ve got suggestions for how i can style my drawings for characters with very few pictures/outfit variants available of them (Gideon, Lizbeth, and the 1950s suited Andy) let me know and ill try to work it in

There was a possibility for a Gwen return in RTD2, and we missed out on it.
Back when it was announced that RTD was coming back to the show, one of the things that excited me the most was the possibility of legacy characters from his first era returning, including spin-off characters. This was only further heightened when RTD revealed that he was planning an MCU-style universe of spin-offs for Doctor Who. And a few years ago, he had mentioned the possibility of him working with Eve Myles again, because, in his words, "she's magnificent."
Sadly, as we know, none of that really happened. The two returning spin-off characters in RTD2 were Clyde Langer from the Sarah Jane Adventures, and Colonel Austin Pierce from Children of Earth, both appearing in Tales of the TARDIS and The War Between the Land and the Sea respectively. And RTD's second era was unfortunately cut short before it had even properly begun, really.
Had everything succeeded though and Disney hadn't screwed Bad Wolf over, I definitely think RTD would've had something special planned for Torchwood's 20th anniversary. I think we would've gotten an episode set in Cardiff, where Gwen and Rhys meet the new Doctor, and get the opportunity to travel in the TARDIS. Also potentially opening the doors for a spiritual successor to Torchwood.
