New TW team members [Archive]

I'm all for replacing Owen with Martha, she's an equally good medic and she's much much more attractive. Wins all round.

Don't want Mickey though. It makes no sense to replace a genius with an idiot. The team wouldn't have got though half the stuff they have without Tosh's brains, they need someone as good as her. I'd like to see John stick around, but I don't quite think he's adept enough to replace Tosh directly either.

I think it would be quite cool to have either an alien or someone from another time or something, perhaps someone who wouldn't be appreciated in their own time/society. I could imagine such a person having a whole storyline about them appearing through the rift and eventually getting the chance to go back, but choosing to stay for the opportunity to fulfil their potential and do something worthwhile.

Eurgh please not Martha and Mickey! Martha was great and all but she needs to stay with UNIT.

I'm just hoping for a miracle of them coming back.

I know some actors want to move on and do new things but... :beg: I miss them already.

With you there I miss them! , I really dont Martha and Mickey!

Martha was great and all but she needs to stay with UNIT.

Exactly! :yes:

I reckon Reece - After all he's Seen Etc.

He's Almost one of the Team now - In most episodes of this Season!

It'd also Create an amazing storyline of the Jack/Gwen/Reece Triangle!

PC Andy!!!! :lol: dont think that would happen though....

i wouldnt mind Martha, shes probably better with the Doctor but if we had her i wouldnt complain but i dont really want Mickey, i dont think it would work right....

fan of love

5th April 2008, 10:02

PC Andy would be great lol!! Wouldn't like Rhys though. I like the whole "mystery job" thing with him and Gwen and how it pisses him off lol. Even though it's hardly a mystery anymore but oh well.
Mickey would IMO be like replacing the doctor with Jackie Tyler lol. It would be soooo random and inappropriate!!
Wouldn't mind Martha coming back as she has the qualifications and stuff to replace Owen even though I'd be really sad to have him go.
Captain John even though it would probably never happen would be pretty cool as he's such a random character who has great potential and is a really good one to be explored.

Himica

5th April 2008, 10:45

I think Capt. John will stick around, not sure if he will permently join the team though...

Martha is the most likly bet and I'd quite like her to join!

I love PC Andy, so I wouldn't mind him popping up!

Timeless-II

5th April 2008, 10:57

I think vxr should replace Tosh.... :yes:

Oh, and Rhys should step in..... with cherry lips as his p.a. :good:

Seriously:
Defo' on Rhys - I think he's proved himself worthy (not to mention Kai is a damn fine actor)

Maybe on Martha - I thought she was better in TW, but not sure if it would be that way if she was there all the time.

Another defo' on Capt'n John - but how would this fit in with Janto?????

PC Andy would be better staying at the police station - I think he's character is FABtastic, and I feel there would be more "story" to write with him remaining in the ranks. Put him in TW and I'm not sure he would last that long in the way the character has been (so far) written ...... However, if they were to suddenly reveal that Andy was working "under cover as a police officer" for, maybe UNIT (?), then that would be just AB FAB!!!!! :D

I'm sure I'll think of more at a later time.... but that's it for now....

5th April 2008, 19:13

I like the idea of PC Andy joining the team!

Auds

5th April 2008, 19:26

I think PC Andy should stay where he is and i deffo don't want Mickey to join Torchwood, Martha would be alright cs they'll need a medic to replace Owen with and we all know she's already proven herself inthat case.

Would be great if Reece could join the team as well, would bring a new element to Gwen and Jack's relationship too having her husband working with them

Same could be said for Captain John sticking around, it would make for an interesting triangle between him, Jack and Ianto :yes:

(L)owen(L)

6th April 2008, 12:31

Kinda random and not sure how plausible it is or how it could work but....

....Maggie Hopper

the girl Owen talked down off the roof, because she knows all about Torchwood because of Owen and is looking for something to fill the void in her life, like Owen was when he started.

Maybe Ianto could fill Tosh's role and do all the computery things (he seemed to be pretty good at that) and Maggie could become the new coffee maker?

:yes: what do you think? :happy:

Vella

6th April 2008, 14:05

Rose, maybe?
Implausible, I know, since were she to be in this universe, the Doc'd whisk her away, but she'd definitely be a good candidate.

Kaleidoscope

6th April 2008, 14:41

NOT Mickey! God no. I could do Martha but I think she's better off as a cameo rather than main character. I don't really fancy Capt. John either (wow I'm picky!). I'd like at least one new character. Maybe even an alien - they could save an alien who they expect to be evil and find out they're just looking for somewhere to live or something and offer them a job. I think that could work.

Timeless-II

6th April 2008, 15:08

Cool idea Kaleidoscope :D

Forever'sOverrated

6th April 2008, 18:40

I'm not sure they should replace them.

I think it would be quite interesting to see how the relationship between the three remaining team members develops. I mean, the whole Janto thing and perhaps gwen will just eventually give in and find some comfort in Jack if you catch my drift.

If they do bring in replacements, perhaps Rhys or John. If they brought Andy into it, it would be kinda similar to the way Gwen ended up there. Joining from the police and everything.

All I know is if they bring in Martha, I'm outta here!

I HATE her. I think I may be the only one who does....;P But seriously, I cannot stand her. She seems like one big Mary Sue to me, to be an utter dork and use a fanfic term. ;)

I like people's ideas about someone out of their time*, or an alien being. But really, I'd just love to see at least Tosh come back. :-S
I wouldn't mind Captain John hanging around a bit more, but I really don't see him as a team player, that much....although, he did seem pretty wistful that Jack had a team--sort of like a family. So who knows?

*('course I know who I'D pick, but I'm hoplessly addicted to episode 1x12 anyway.....;))

6th April 2008, 20:32

I loved the idea of martha joining the team, but then i always thought that donna was only doing one season of doctor and just assumed martha would go bk....also wondering hw much more of a story they could tell with her....

mickey is a HUGE no no!!!not a good idea at all, it doesn't really make any sense i know that he meets up with jack in doctor who finale but i mean come the guys an idiot and just so damn annoying!!!!

PLUS i like the idea of bringing in someone completely new to the alien world.If they brought in two newbies it would be too much story and development to tell.

So Martha plus a copletely new character?!?

whilst i also like the idea of someone not of earthly or 20th/21st centuary origin.....could be interesting having someone from past/future attempting to adjust to this new life...

Rhys and PC Andy should have larger roles in the season 3 but not as full scale torchwood members...

oh and i love the idea of John hart kinda being there and being the annoying little helper, keeping trying to assist but getting in the way and messing things up for the team by mistake...should be funny

I am full of conflicting ideas heres another....i think they should fill one of the vacancies but have trouble filling the other and throughout the season they should have a nuber of different potential people who just dnt fit the job....iv got this image of jack ianto and gwyn out and about trying to find the perfect team member but failing THEN.....

all of a sudden Tosh walks in and goes hey, :hello: u missed me???:) oh please let that happen [we can all dream!!!]

but seriously now i do have this theory that because Tosh worked and died in very close proximity to the Rift maybe her soul or spirit could be connected to it possibly so she could i dnt no maybe appear in ghost form and kinda be like Torchwood advisor and connection to the Rift and what comes through it???Like a proper Rift Guardian?????Oh im begging u let this happen!!!!!!

Sorry if there are any typos...let me nno what u think....

They Could Somehow Bring Suzie Back!

WOOP that'd be Freaky - Owen ALL over again!

Florank

6th April 2008, 21:31

Iv just had a great idea.....

well earlier i said it would b cool to have someone from the past....what if that someone was an Ex-torchwood member (maybe one of the girls we saw in jacks flashback in Fragments)

that would open such a great story line cos he would know them and have a good relationship already...leaving the others out again... oh it could be someone he doesn't no (even further back in time) and they could of been in charge of TW in the past and so there is major friction between Jack and new person...???

Or a future TW member sent back to help them out...maybe help them correct some mistakes (aka letting Tosh die!!!!), would be interesting because this person would ultimately know what happens to Ianto,gwyn and jack in the future...

just another of my many ideas.... :smile:

daiwthomas

6th April 2008, 21:58

Im hoping 4 a miracle aswell cuz i want owen and tosh back forever i wouldn't mind having john though and having 6 in the team like a replacement for suzie or something

:beg: :beg: :beg:

charmed13

8th April 2008, 07:56

How about there is a rift to hell so Jack goes to there to bring Tosh's soul back. There's no clue to say that Owen's dead. So I hope he's still alive. Maybe I will write a story about this and i hope TW staff may use it ^^!

If there are going to be new members of the team I want them to be new No one from Doctor Who, someone we have never met before.

Just watch this http://www.bbc.co.uk/torchwood/sites/ma ... de13.shtml (http://www.bbc.co.uk/torchwood/sites/makingof/series2/series2_episode13.shtml) and listen to how many times Lachlan Nieboer (Grey) talks about being good, or joining the team.

Oh god, I hope not as the actor was rubbish. Otherwise, may have been an interesting storyline...although I think it would kind of spoil the tragic element of Captain Jack if he were to work/happily join with his long-lost brother.

As for Martha, I know she is more than likely going to join Torchwood, I just can't see that working. I liked her in Doctor Who, her clean-cut look worked for it, but Torchwood...no way. Torchwood needs more edgier characters. I wouldn't mind her as a recurring character that much, just as long as they wouldn't over do it.

Mickey? Don't see any point in that.

Captain John would be brilliant...perhaps not as a regular. But I definitely want to see more of him.

PC Andy is fantastic, hopefully we'll see more of him in the next series. Not as a Torchwood member though...

All in all, I want to see completely new characters joining. I liked someone's idea about getting in a person/alien from a different time/world. That would be interesting.

sugarberi

9th April 2008, 00:02

It seems like the writing is on the wall for Martha joining. I don't want Mickey though. Two Who cast-offs is one too many. And as for Grey? Spare me! He's evil and the actor is no one to write home about. A passing resemblance to JB is his only talent.

A team of Jack/Gwen/Ianto/Martha sounds fine to me. If they must replace Tosh, I'd like to see an older actor/actress, someone middle aged who's lived a bit and doesn't buy Captain Jack's shit. I think that'd be a good equalizer - as long as they're not too married to this young, hot & sexy and dead before thirty thing.

Vella

9th April 2008, 20:13

Love the idea bout an alien/futurist being recruited. It'd be quite fun to see Captain John in a sort of outside liason role, cos we know he's travelling Earth for a bit. As to the other member, maybe introducing someone in DW specifically designed for TW? Or they could spend a couple of eps making do whilst searching for someone to recruit?

Kaleidoscope

9th April 2008, 22:37

Cool idea Kaleidoscope :D
Thanks Timeless :smile:

Oh god, I hope not as the actor was rubbish
He was as well! I don't want them to bring Grey back. He's hardly going to forgive Jack is he? He'd just be a pain in the ass I think.

Jorie

9th April 2008, 23:58

Well, not having seen the last episode (just a clip, so I know Tosh and Owen die), I am praying that something happens and they didn't really die after all. That in Season 3, Owen escaped somehow and that Tosh wakes up.

If not, then the actor who played Grey can come back. If acting is not his strongpoint, that is what acting coaches are for. Put one on set and let the prettiness begin. He and John and Gareth all together? I don't know if I could stand it.

But honestly, I adore James M..but I don't think I want him on there permanently. I think he is too much like Jack and I think we only need ONE Jack. Anyone agree???

If Barrowman wanted to leave or scale back his work load to do theatre, I'd be happy with Captain John taking over Torchwood.

OxyMoron

10th April 2008, 16:23

Never mind about Grey forgiving Jack, could Torchwood forgive Grey for shooting Tosh?

fire_ice_air

11th April 2008, 08:17

Having Martha back wouldn't be too bad, definitely don't want mickey joining the team don't wan't torchwood to become the place for all those the doctor leaves behind.

Maybe one of the new people could be another of the survivors from torchwood 1 or better yet someone from the elusive torchwood 4.

Neuro

11th April 2008, 22:18

Iâ€™me sort of ok with Martha but mickys to nice and dim to work for TW.

What might work would be a character ina Jamie/Leela mode maybe some one from the past gets dumped through the rift I thought of a centurion for roman Brittan or a medieval knight.

Present day a transfer from tw1 or some one sent from the Boss(presumably this is still the queen) to see wtf happened in cardif. Maybe a sarcastic UNIT member.

I'm another minority person here, by not wanting Martha..the character just gets on the wrong side of me.....More more more Captain John..Sorry, but James Marsters can do no wrong in my eyes....I also think someone older would work well, I dunno, say along the lines of Denise Black and her wonderfully ascerbic wit would knock Jack down the required peg or two when he needed it, not to mention give Ianto a much needed snigger at the sight...

Nah, then he wouldn't be the same eye candy any more, me thinks Captain John likes him :grin:

Chelle

20th April 2008, 21:28

I wouldn't really mind if Martha joined, I think it'd be better someone who we know rather than a completely new person to get to know all over again. I started liking Captain John in the last episode a lot more, so he would be good in it too, albeit not as a full time character.

22nd April 2008, 14:22

I don't know unless they needed someone with logistical skills then I wouldn't see where he could fit in plus Ianto basically does that too. "He gets us everywhere on time. I try my best."

Venadar

28th April 2008, 15:01

OK so obviously they have a plan with removing two key elements of the torchwood machine, and I dunno I kind of doubt it's just to plonk two new "replacements" in their vacancies..

I think that new characters added will have to bring an entirely different element or fill a completely new role in the show..

Personally I think it might only be one new character as part of the team, bringing the side characters (Rhys, PC Andy, John Hart, Martha etc.) in more but not as main, story-line characters, and having a sort of fresh idea for what the show's about.

I'm anticipating a very original character that doesn't fit either the techy/brainiac role or the medic role and probably adds story-line more than expertise.

That would be cool anyway, otherwise my season 3 experience will consist mainly of me throwing things at the TV and shouting "Tosh was better! Boooooo!" "Omg Owen walked all over this guy.."

and the occasional "OMG MORE SHAGGING ALREADY"

^_^

TorchwoodGal15

28th April 2008, 17:03

I think they should bring in 2 completely new people
I don't want anyone from DW coming in because it's better keeping them seperate, although I don't mind Martha popping in now and again......but i think as she has her UNIT jobs she won't be joining TW any time soon....

11th May 2008, 14:01

think im the only person who actually likes the idea of mickey joining, i admit i didnt like mickey in the first series of doctor who but he grew up alot when he stayed in the parallel world and i really liked him when he came back in the finale and another thing surely hes been working in torchwood in the parallel world aswell because didnt rose say she was working or running torchwood or something so im guessing he worked with her so i like the idea of that mickey working for torchwood :smile: just my opinion though :smile:

Summer

11th May 2008, 14:11

i want to wait and see untill what mickey is like in this sereis till i make deductions.:)
i'd like martha but i think what we've seen of her is very um... child oreintated her charcter is aimed at the younnger kids part of the audience for DW.

i cant help it. i hated jenny. i like the character but i dont know the actress didnt really do it for me. she just was a bit to over stereotyoical of the whole lara croft thing. also you can see jack being WAY attracted to jenny. and shes the doctors daughter. i dont know . doctor who is about the last of the timelords now. but perhaps they kept jenny alive FOR a spin off. either TW or another..

16th May 2008, 14:36

I've always been thinking Rhys or Andy. I know Andy's a little...improbable, to say the least, but who else does Jack have?What would irritate me more would be if we enter S3 with two new strange people already working in the Hub with no story of their entrance.

Kaleidoscope

23rd May 2008, 09:23

I wouldn't mind us being dropped back into TW a few weeks after two new team members have been recruited. It means they can reveal backstories throughout the series, which is something I always like. It adds mystery.

blaid drwg

23rd May 2008, 09:31

I think Mickey could fit in quite well as long as he is written correctly and has grown even more than when we last saw him, Martha I think was diffrent when she was in TW more grown up and I think she would fit in well.
I do like Jenny and think she would be good to bring into the mix in TW, shes a really good soldier and could hold her own and Jack would be in awe of her for being the Doctor's daughter!
I like your idea kaleidoscope finding out piece by piece about them

Springmaus

23rd May 2008, 11:42

I wouldn't mind Martha, I prefer her in TW than DW. I've always hated Mickey though. Maybe he'd be a little better in TW, but i'd much rather have some brand new characters instead of reusing the old ones all the time

Summer

23rd May 2008, 12:37

yeh same Spring.. i have a feeling that martha will come back becasue RTD really like Freema and she is a good actress. but i hope they do bring in a new person for the techie :yes:
i personally found Jenny realy annoying and didnt like her. she was a but to loved up to the doctor...

I don't mind mickey but he doesn't really fit the role of techie or medic. He's just a kind of guy who does a bit of everything so he wouldn't really fit into the TW team.

Summer

24th May 2008, 18:21

i know i just didnt like Jenny. (didnt like is a bit feeble for my feelings but oh well :smile: ) i dont know where mickey will fit in but i suppose we dont know what mickeys like now so who knows.. i think we should have someone like Tosh who was specific for the job..

sugarberi

27th May 2008, 06:19

I've had a change of heart! If bringing in DW characters helps TW stay on the air, I'm all for it.
Just leave Gray in the vault. It was an insult to Tosh to get shot by someone so limp & tepid. She should have hit him with one of her stilettoes.

I like both Martha and Mickey a lot, but I don't know about them joining Torchwood. Mickey did seem to mature some while living in the parallel world, but I don't know how much he'd fit in. I'd be okay with Martha, but I'd have to see how it was handled before deciding.

I like Rhys and PC Andy, but I don't know if I'd want them joining. Their function is mainly to represent Gwen's home life and her life pre-TW, and support her character. If they joined Torchwood, they'd be like the new Gwen. I wouldn't mind seeing Rhys drop in now and then to help out, though.

Mmm... I don't think I'd actuallt be that pissed if Mickey were there 'coz he has hacked into Torchwood a couple of times- which although we probs hate to admit it, it means he got through Tosh's firewall! So I really don't think he's "Micky the Idiot" like every1 plays him out to be.
BUT before u all get mad: Micky is on another dimention a little hard to work for this Torchwood don't u think? lol

I think they should have completely different characters, that bring entirly different talents to the team... that would be far more interesting (like sum1 with an ability?). As well as being interesting, it wouldn't feel like Tosh & Owen were just being replaced.

Hmm, if your thinking Aliens of London/World War 3 and School Reunion, he doesn't get past TW firewalls they are what prevent him from finding stuff out but he does with a lot of help from The Doctor hack into the military to send off a missile.

I know who I'd want to join, his name is Chris Parsons he's played by Sean Biggerstaff in the Dr Who audio book Sharda. He's techie but not in the same way as Tosh, he's a physics student and was doing something programmy (sorry my Cd's been trashed so I can't be specific).

Bit off topic but didn't Sean Biggerstaff also play Oliver Wood in Harry Potter?

---
Please, please PLEASE not Martha!! There is something about her that really annoys me, I think new characters would be better.

Or a few episodes where it's just Jack, Ianto and Gwen...

Tbh, I just don't want any more DW cast-offs turning up!

Absolutely! Thats just what I was thinking.
Same with Mickey - he could pop in occasionally but I agree with everyone who is saying we need new characters to bring a new dimension to the team, and so Tosh and Owen arn't just being replaced

Martha wont be in it. She has already turned them down a few times.

Mickey? Bit of a weird choice. Would be cool to have Rose in it though.

Also Owen aint dead. I have reasons of my own & I swear I read somewhere that he is back in series 3.

Bilis as part of Torchwood would be cool since he is just all powerful. But it would make no sense (unless they incorporate what happened in the novels).

Summer

If she is in I hope they don't do a Dr Who & point out in every episode that she is black. It was so annoying -_- Still I wanna know more about UNIT, maybe they will combine? ._.

Come on, he's died once, yo ucan't die again.

Locke

4th June 2008, 17:39

Well my point was no one really dies in Torchwood unless they show you a scene where you are sure they are dead. Example Suzie, filled with holes, glove destroyed or Tosh's death for instance. Now granted they can't show someone dying in radiation on TV but there hasn't been a shot of a burnt body or whatever to confirm & what does radiation do to a dead body anyway?

* laurie *

4th June 2008, 17:43

radiation melts your insides basically (your organs), yeah not nice :sad:

Once again, what effect would that have on a dead guy? He doesn't need his organs.

jackngwen4eva

4th June 2008, 17:45

Suppose not. You're right about some of that stuff.
Tosh is def not going to come back, but an interview with Burn said that he was sad to leave CF, because his son was born there, and both Eve and JB said it was sad to say goddbye to Naoko and Burn.

Locke

4th June 2008, 17:46

Then I guess that makes him dead.

I will now just shutup & fade into the shadows.

jackngwen4eva

No, you can always hope! Hope os one of the prime things about TW. Even in all the pain and despair, there's always hope.

Skin is not an organ. Organs are the internal parts that are driven by respiration and lung push to provide function. Sorry, that came out weird.

* laurie *

4th June 2008, 18:00

well it was drummed into us at uni and work that skin is an organ (organs is actually just a term for a group of tissues in the body) i admit we dont really see it as one though but anyway totally off topic!

Well, we have two views. I;ve been taught something else, but all's fair!
Take a look at a new YT interview of JB I;ve put up.
It has stuff about S3 and he says they are TWO SHORT! They are both DEAD!
Please have a listen, it has some great stuff in there.

6th June 2008, 08:19

Yeah I understood your post. Just is it or isn't it?

Skin is an organ..

Your skin is your largest organ. It covers your entire body and has a surface area of around 2 square metres. Its thickness varies from 0.5mm on your eyelids to 4mm or more on the palms of your hands and the soles of your feet. In total, it accounts for around 16 percent of your body weight.

Taken from.. http://www.bbc.co.uk/science/humanbody/body/factfiles/skin/skin.shtml

anyway, as for rhys, i don't think it'll work cuz of all the laws in the armed forces about women fighting on the front line (not that he's a woman! :P) but because the feelings GW and RW have for eachother might eventually get in the way of the job needing to be done, although Rhys should stick around for at least another season!

ElectroxGirl

5th July 2008, 22:27

[spoiler:19oj07pq]I don't think Martha will join Torchwood. Jack was basically telling her to leave UNIT and join Torchwood but she's the type of person who will make her own decisions so for that reason I don't think she'll be joining.

Mickey, there was no hint of him even joining. Jack didn't ask him, he just walked with them so he wasn't completely alone. There would be no point in him leaving Jackie and Rose if he was just going to go join Torchwood. I got the impression he was just going to go start a new life on his own seeing as his gran had died on the parallel world.

So anyway, we haven't heard anything from official sources that they will be in Torchwood so there's no point worrying about it at the moment.[/spoiler:19oj07pq]

[spoiler:11kd9p9j]Unlike most of you I have no problems with Mickey and Martha and can see the advatanges to it and why they have done it.

We will only be getting 5 1 hour eps next year. That is not enough time to bring in new characters and get us to like them.

They have cleverly given the DW fans and the BBC1 viewing audience an insight into our 3 Torchwood team members. They know that Gwen is married to Rhys from her phone call to him. There was mention of the previous team members in Tosh and Owen. Hints were given about Jack and Ianto being together as well. So the BBC1 audience was given that insight.

By bringing in Martha and Mickey you have two characters that viewing audience is familar with but also they are the right dynamics for what the team needs. Martha is the new medical officer, that's a given. Mickey fulfils Tosh's and a bit of ianto's role to a degree.

In terms of writing and drama it is also a good fit. Jack has his current history with Gwen and Ianto that Mickey doesn't know about. Mickey has history with Jack that Gwen and Ianto don't know about. Martha has some knowledge about Gwen and Ianto and Jack in TW but there is also her history in the year that never was. Mickey has worked for TW in the alternative universe and we saw a much more confident and assured Mickey in Journey's End. He has changed from the character that was seen in S1 of DW. Martha brings in the innocence of Tosh to a degree to the dynamic and Mickey brings the cheekiness of Owen with Jack. Mickey has that brotherly love/hate thing going with Jack, he isn't a threat to Jack and Ianto's relationship but he would be a guy around Ianto's age which I can see Ianto and Mickey getting along quite well.

So I'm ok with it and in fact am looking forward to Mickey and Ianto causing Jack no end of problems :grin:[/spoiler:11kd9p9j]

I still can´t believe she saved the world and never will. She's too much like the other 5millions actors out there who always looks the same. To me the greatness of DW and TW is that they often looks discheveled, unkept, dirty... they make faces that makes them look not so good... Dunno, you know there is a personality there, and it shows. Martha... I find in her as much character as in a frying pan. It's not like I hate her and I can live with her in the series, but I find her lacking and would rather not have her.

By bringing in Martha and Mickey you have two characters that viewing audience is familar with but also they are the right dynamics for what the team needs. Martha is the new medical officer, that's a given. Mickey fulfils Tosh's and a bit of ianto's role to a degree.

In terms of writing and drama it is also a good fit. Jack has his current history with Gwen and Ianto that Mickey doesn't know about. Mickey has history with Jack that Gwen and Ianto don't know about. Martha has some knowledge about Gwen and Ianto and Jack in TW but there is also her history in the year that never was. Mickey has worked for TW in the alternative universe and we saw a much more confident and assured Mickey in Journey's End. He has changed from the character that was seen in S1 of DW. Martha brings in the innocence of Tosh to a degree to the dynamic and Mickey brings the cheekiness of Owen with Jack. Mickey has that brotherly love/hate thing going with Jack, he isn't a threat to Jack and Ianto's relationship but he would be a guy around Ianto's age which I can see Ianto and Mickey getting along quite well.

So I'm ok with it and in fact am looking forward to Mickey and Ianto causing Jack no end of problems :grin:[/spoiler:bxv1wj7a]

Hey all,

I am in complete agreement with this. Count me in as a fan of the idea and I'm really looking forward to this.

Take care,
Matty-lad

I'm willing to give it a chance. A lot of people moaned and groaned when Catherine Tate was announced as The Doctor's companion this season, but I think she really proved them wrong.

I think this is a bit different because we 'know' these characters so we know whether we like them or not already

I guess that all will be ok with an extremely powerful storyline ! Fingers crossed ... cause we'll need one to have more TW in the future ! I know, pretty logical ... :rolleyes:
[spoiler:1y40ud5g]i do believe we'll have M and M for the 5 ep cause there's not enough time to bring some new characters, right, but i do hope we'll have new ones if we got s4[/spoiler:1y40ud5g]

I really do hope there's new team members and not doctor who left behinds. Id like to see a new, handsome male and see how Jack would get on with him... :D lol. I think it needs some new fresh faces otherwise ill only end up getting bored of M&M, and i DO NOT want to get bored with Torchwood!!!

I don't like the thought of Martha and Mickey much. I can tolerate Martha but I'm not her biggest fan...

Mickey is just plain annoying- I can see where Martha would fit in- I mean we've seen her in a torchwood format- but Mickey?!

Hmm- It would be cool to see Jack scouting out some unknown welsh talent *hint* *nudge* like in the SWANSEA area. lol.

Whatever happens, I just hope it isn't someone I hugely dislike. :/

We know them in Doctor Who. We don't know them in Torchwood. Well we do Martha, but not Mickey. Martha never really caught on with me in Who, but I enjoyed her turn in Torchwood. Mickey could surprise everyone as well. He is starting "a brand new life" after all! :yes:

I see where you're coming from but the characters can't really be changed that much. I also liked Martha in TW (and in this series of DW as she'd grown up a bit). I dunno, we'll see. May be surprised.

I think I may be the only person in the world who would rather have Mickey than Martha though lol

I've always seen Mickey as kind of a comic relief- if you see what I mean. Teamed up with Captain Jack in series one of New Who they were very funny, and not that serious. But we can no longer see Jack as comic relief (hahaha :/) and the only serious side we've seen to Mickey is with his relationship to Rose and the hurt he felt in new who 1, but even then he seemed a bit childish- and how serious he was in the finale.

Maybe it is time we saw the whole of mickeys character?

TheLizardQueen

14th July 2008, 17:10

okay, so i wouldn't mind Martha. shes been in the show before, was quite good and is a good doctor like Owen. but how are they supposed to replace Tpsh with Mickey? just because slightly good with computers... i like him, but Tosh is irreplacable. (just saying that because she'd my favourite character!)

15th July 2008, 11:13

I hope the new team members will be new people.I want new characters,besides,it won't be easy,coz I missing Tosh and Owen as team members,but if they will find good team members.....But no Martha please,she was in Torchwood.I want new team members :smile:

15th July 2008, 15:24

I think Mickey's actually going to surprise everyone if he ends up in Torchwood. He's grown up a lot since his time in DW Season One, and he's learnt more about aliens, technology - not that he was a novice before, he was always helping Rose and the doctor in the beginning. He could be a good addition to the team.

As for Martha, I was never her biggest fan, because I loved Rose and thought Martha's crush on the doctor was distracting from her role as a friend and companion (not that I could blame her for her crush, really). And I never put much stock in her abilities until I saw her in Torchwood... she's grown up too and found her own identity separate to the doctor. I admit to being a lot more fond of her now. I think she and Mickey will add something to Torchwood - and I'm certainly not going to complain about them until I see them in action. I'm just sorry to be waiting so long for a new season :sad:

I agree with you, Doctor who doesn't have a lot of room for Mickeys dark side, and we saw it slightly in the finale in his serious face, lol. Torchwood would be a medium in which the writers could develop his character, although I do worry that he wouldn't fit in with the team that well. He's no Tosh. But that could be an angle that RTD could work from, the team might not be so quick to accept replacements for Owen and Tosh, upset at the idea of replacing them. From the Finale we could see that they hadn't even began to replace them yet. Mickey would have to prove himself to get full acceptance, but after the rejection Mickey felt with Rose, would he be able to cope?

I loved Rose too, I was so happy with the ending she got *squee*

maya

16th July 2008, 16:18

As long as TW won't lose its own identity ans its dark sides, it will work for me ... but, i'm afraid of what the writers will make as choices if some important DW characters come into TW .... ( not really the same situation than with Jack ) and cause they'll be on BBC 1 as well. :beg:

Mache

22nd July 2008, 03:34

Okay, so Owen and Tosh are dead. It was a gripping scene that actually made me cry, much kudos to the music score. But they're dead, and their death-scene was superb. Bringing them back would be more than enough to completely tarnish my happy, happy memories of series two.

Martha... eurgh, I can see why she'd come in: UNIT has been crippled, she has some talent, and she and Jack are buds, but I'd be very happy if she went and died quietly in a corner.

Mickey is an idiot. He gets on with 'Captain Cheesecake', but that doesn't stop him being a talentless dunce whose feel of technology and stratagem is as in-depth as Wayne Rooney's Autobiography. You can grow up as much as you like, Mickey-boy. But it doesn't stop you being an incompetent fool.

I reckon, however, that Torchwood and Doctor Who are already too firmly anchored together, and bringing in more Doctor Who characters could be a serious blow to the series, and I was enjoying that in series one, despite the fact it was a spin-off, it managed to hold its own as a TV show. Series two seemed to rely on Doctor Who a bit more heavily, though I'll forgive them this for the excellence of the series. But will increasing 'spin-off-factor' even further in the already somewhat controversial-looking series be a fatal mistake for Torchwood?

28th July 2008, 17:09

oh i'd love that if rose became part of torchwood, but in truth i can't see them doing that in the near future, with her recent DW storyline (dunno if it's been shown in the states yet so not going into details) but you know what i mean

i really really don't want martha to join, because i think she suits unit - upherself and overconfident and far too trigger-happy. and i still don't think it was a coincidence that the episode she shows up in torchwood is the one in which owen gets killed. anyway. no martha, please

and as has already been said. mickey might be able to hack around on computers, but he is a dunce, nuff said

i'd like to see jack doing some recruiting, like with owen/tosh and gwen. just picking them up off the street so to say. why should he have to settle for mickey/martha when he obviously has the means to track down people of such qualities as owen/tosh

Forever'sOverrated

28th July 2008, 18:15

I agree that Martha and Mickey could be a mistake for Torchwood (saying this though, my most recent fanfic does include them - That's how bored I am lol!).

Kacey, I like your idea of Jack doing some more recruiting. I think what they need is someone younger than the rest of them. I thiunk it would be an idea for this person to have perhaps been living in a very sheltered existance, having everything handed to them on a plate. By joining Torchwood, this person's eyes are opened up to the real world, they are given the oppertunity to grow and we witness this first hand.

All that just popped into my head just then, but still, we need new blood.

yeah i've been *cough* sheltered and i'm up for fighting aliens... only i'm a bit of a technophobe so i would not be up to tosh's job lol

hey, new skills?

but i definately think they need to branch out - go for somebody with skills they've never had before. cause even though i get that they have to have a compact team so keep it secret, new perspectives are interesting

i would quite like to see another guy recruited first, because even though that would make gwen the only girl, it would be good to get a guys POV on the janto stuff

It will not be Martha she has annoyed the BBC by going to make a drama for ITV so Mickey would be ok i think

CyberPizzaGirl

1st August 2008, 11:37

Okay I have just read the entire thread and I see some awesome Ideas and I just had to add one more to the mix.
*What about they bring in Martha for maybe the second episode as a bit part while she is re-establishing UNIT.
*And maybe they could have a member from torchwood 4 (the one they lost) slip through the rift. some young annoying techo-nerd from the not to distant future, say next century, then they can have a completely new character. Who knows the "history" of torchwood 3 and we can not like him!! :laugh2:
*I'd actually like to see Jack and Ianto on their date!
*I'd also like to see a "interview" process with potential candidates. ie "Try a day with torchwood-can't cope dont worry you'll be retconned and wont remember a thing!!!" :laugh2:

Oh and then we could see Captain John branch out a little more in our century with the new guy!!

8th August 2008, 22:33

*shudders at the very thought of Mickey being in TW* I really really hope they bring in a new female character too. I fancy a dark broody sort of gothic human looking alien.

nptorchwood

8th August 2008, 22:36

An alien team member would be very interesting i think, nice idea! Gothic sounds good too, it'd be a bit more of a broader personality show- if that makes sence. lol

9th August 2008, 16:47

It will not be Martha she has annoyed the BBC by going to make a drama for ITV so Mickey would be ok i think

I was thinking about this and mickys a bit close to rys in role ordinary not mega bright guy in volved with a brighter female who goes of and has adventures with a charismatic guy who she then falls for.

i think an analien arival through the rift could make a good tem member and alows some scope for a diferent pov and some fun like some of the fun quotes from SG1

Teal'c "Things will not calm down, Daniel Jackson. They will, in fact, calm up."

9th August 2008, 21:30

i dunno. it seems kinda certain that mickey and martha are gonna me in TW.
but i like martha. dont beat me up. i may be a lone martha lover on here.
but mickey too. i dunno. they could do worse.
but i also think someone totally new would be good.
but i suppose theyve already had an 'introduction to tw' episode with gwens intro to TW.
so it would be a bit repetitive.
maybe.
who knows.
i jsut hope it turns out well!

lilflower

9th August 2008, 22:03

They only needed an introduction episode with gwen because the viewers were new to the show too.

11th August 2008, 14:31

Does not look like we will see Martha in Series 3:

[spoiler:3fy1tk55]According to various news sources, Freema Agyeman of ‘Doctor Who” and “Torchwood” has signed on to play a prosecutor on the UK version of Law & Order. As previously reported on this blog (here), Jamie Bamber of Battlestar Galactica fame will also be appearing. The show is set to be on UK’s ITV.[/spoiler:3fy1tk55]

From:

17th August 2008, 11:26

Why not PC Andy? I think he would be great lol ;)
But Martha on the other hand could be really good as the new doctor she got wits, brains and looks. However If Micky becomes the new IT tech Im sorry to say I wouldn´t be able to watch it anymore. I find him very anoying and he doesnt come close to Toshikos briliance.

17th August 2008, 23:16

I'd love Andy to be more involved but there isn't a position he can fill.

I'd like someone whose knows of TW but not from one of the other branches or UNIT, kind of like Eugene from Random Shoes.

Looks a lot like it could be Micky and Martha. doesn't bother me, quite like them, but I'm all in favour of a nice surprise. New faces, new characters.

themixedtape

18th August 2008, 11:34

I wouldn't mind Micky but Martha annoys the crap out of me and its not the acting that irritates me. I mean Marthas character is just awful. It feels like she was written to just point out the whole Rose situation, it feels like she was written to be a plot device and not a character. That just killed her. I'd love some new characters, some brandspaking new characters who are going to add a good dynamic to the show.

The doctor11

18th August 2008, 11:36

martha would be good in it and i think they may get like a time lord or something that they have found on earth![edit:3uhzjk0f]yes i am well aware that gallifrey was destroyed but i dont believe all the time lords (apart from the doctor) are dead[/edit:3uhzjk0f]

Mickey smith is just too annoying, he was all right as the Doctor's whipping boy but as a member of TW, :nono: I would be tempted to feed him to Janet, or the pterodactyl.

I wouldn't mind Martha as much, but it would be a cop-out.

John would be a good one though I think he would overlap with Jack a little, and also he would have to watch his coffee when Ianto was around :laugh:

How about the unthinkable? some brand new characters!

Mystique

15th October 2008, 18:07

I'm pretty sure it won't be Martha since Freema flaked on them and they had to rewrite the scripts. (My friend told me that..) I don't know if I'd like Mickey or not... He would be better than if Rose joined (ha).

I hope they're good whoever they are.

Torchwood Institute

6th November 2008, 12:45

I heard they're gonna be mentioned by name but won't be appearing. I think the introduction of that doctor bloke and the mention of a secretary that can hack into places are a bit suspicious though. If they're gonna get more people in I don't think they should make them exactly the same like a doctor and a computer genius. Mind you, Jack recruited Owen and Tosh because that was what he needed. I'm not sure anymore lol!

10th December 2008, 16:25

**psst**

Want a massive spoiler?

[spoiler:15hpkvb2]According to a respected source on doctorwhoforum.com (a Mr Simon Watkins, who often attends filming in Cardiff and is very often correct) the new doctor character, Rupesh Patanjali, dies in Episode 1. According to his source Jack is killed in the explosion of the Hub and wakes up in the hospital morgue next to the (dead) body of Rupesh.[/spoiler:15hpkvb2]

So that should help with the question of one potential member, anyway.

AFAIK, it was only a newspaper report that claimed Freema was intended for TW S3 and then had to be written out – from various interviews with her and Noel, I'm fairly certain this wasn't the case, and they weren't extensively present in the scripts anyway. It's dreadfully unfair to Freema if it wasn't, too! There are still very vague rumours about an appearance from Martha and Mickey in episode 4&5, but the source was difficult to verify and we've heard nothing else since. They could show up as guest stars in those eps, but it's pretty certain they'll not be full-time personnel.

Iantofan4557

18th December 2008, 13:05

Martha and Mickey are known by the most part for being principal characters in Doctor Who, and I personally think that they should stay that way. Doctor Who was their show, not Torchwood. As for Rhys, reading Torchwood Magazine every month seems to indicate that he will play a big part in Series 3 anyway, so I think if anyone was to become a new member of the team it would be Rhys. Another pointer is that since the team lost Owen and Tosh :sad: I think the remaining members of the team have been brought closer together and not having new members of the team could show how they are all coping minus Owen and Tosh.

Stilyte

18th December 2008, 20:13

i don't think it would be fair to bring Martha in full time....an episode now and again is great but they've set her up with her job in unit and with her fiance. She's got her life sorted and Torchwood would pretty much muck that up. Plus living arrangements. As for Mickey, i suppose there's the possibility of him joining but i think the third season will be about setting the dynamics between the original 3 after their loss before they go disrupting things with new regulars.

Scally

27th January 2009, 16:09

Rose can't really be in torchwood in this universe, she's in a parallel universe with the human docter

i agree that Martha needs to stay with UNIT, maybe she'll pop in from time to time

Rhys a little too simple, and i think it would cause a lot of friction with Jack and Rhys (a good thing maybe?? ;-))

Mickey, sorry to say, but he's just a numpty, i don't think he'll suit TW at all...

i'd like to see Martha in there, as she's had loads of experience with aliens...and Jack

elizah72

5th March 2009, 01:26

Julie Gardner said in an interview somewhere that there were a few "red herrings" as far as new members go in the upcoming series. I wouldn't be surprised if there are no clear cut team additions.

I'd like to see someone who was more of a scientist added, though I can see a need for a doctor and computer expert as well. I'd love to see more strong female characters added. I liked Detective Swanson from They Keep Killing Suzi alot, and one of my favorite females from Doctor Who is Sally Sparrow from Blink. Either character or those "types" would be great additions to Torchwood I think.

I'd love to see the Mr. Copper Foundation (as mentioned in the Doctor Who finale) or something like that get involved with the Torchwood gang to give them more resources and characters to work with on a semi-regular basis, without taking away too much from the main 3 characters. Perhaps for season 4 if there is one. *crossing fingers*

wildfirestar

6th March 2009, 00:55

Someone may have already mentioned this, but I think Martha's fiance could potentially be an interesting addition.

SerenityChaos

6th March 2009, 02:39

After the TW and the DW season finale, I SO did not want MIckey to join Torchwood because I just don't think he would fit in. Martha? Maybe. We've already seen how well she worked with them but I'm just so used to see her in the DW 'verse. Same goes for Mickey. But that's my opinion. :big_grin:

I would totally vote for PC Andy for the TW team. As Capt. John Hart said they need a blonde. LOL

elizah72

7th March 2009, 14:35

I wouldn't mind seeing Mickey but could do without more Martha (I liked Doctor Who Martha a lot but did not care for her when she came to Torchwood for a variety of reasons). I think Mickey might be fun, there have been hints that Jack likes Mickey and Mickey doesn't seem like he'd be too keen to "switch sides" for Jack so that would be rather fun to see played out in some episodes I think. And plus Mickey is brave, loyal, he can use a gun, and has experience with aliens. I think he'd fit in just fine.

I adore Andy, but I'm not sure he would fit in as well as a Team member. I like him as a semi-regular outsider.

I think we need a new receptionist for the team since Ianto is out of the Hub so much now. Someone needs to take over some of his duties I think. Perhaps Rhy's secretary from "Meat"? Jack seemed to like her. :grin:

Angelica Constantine

9th March 2009, 11:00

Just my 2Cents here...

I really do not think Martha or Mickey will be permanent fixtures in TW. Guest rolls etc...but not permanent members. :nope:

PC Andy and Rhys...they have not got the back bone nor stamina of the rest. And the Whole triangle thing got boring two seconds after it started. :na:

I think (and remember this is JMHO) they should bring in new people. No one we have seen before. That would bring in a new open perspective to the team and the show. :read:
And as someone suggested before, perhaps have them be aliens or from a different time. :yes:

Although having Owen come back and 'King of the Weevils' would be hilarious. :big_grin:

elizah72

10th March 2009, 01:57

Angelica Constantine

10th March 2009, 07:35

or what about if they find the missing Torchwood mentioned in Season 1, Episode 1? That would provide some new team members already trained and experienced with aliens, perhaps even more advanced with their technology etc depending on where exactly they've been "lost."

Liz

Good one, :good: like I said...someone we have not seen before. And we have not seen or know of anyone from the missing TW team.

Now, lets see how smart the writer(s) actually are. :grin:

elizah72

10th March 2009, 22:34

I think Jack said something like "we'll find it some day" in that episode. That seems like foreshadowing, doesn't it? Why they haven't used it up until now thought, I'll never know. Oh, well... hopefully season 4 if there is one.

We definitely need more female characters, I love the guys but all we have now for ladies is Gwen. Any thoughts on new female characters, anyone?

I also think we need someone who will question Jack's authority and judgement somewhat the way Owen did. Adds friction and upredictibility to the characters if they arent all agreeing with Jack all the time. And it seems like Gwen and Ianto have a lot of faith in Jack at this point so it seems unlikely they'd start fighting him on many things.

elizah72

15th March 2009, 21:15

We definitely need more female characters, I love the guys but all we have now for ladies is Gwen. Any thoughts on new female characters, anyone?

I'm bored so I guess I'll answer my own question. :tongue:

What TW really needs is a new sexy female character to come in and sweep Ianto off his feet, then Jack gets all jealous, but he's a bit unsure of who - this is soon resolved between the three of them after several hours of a-hem... "naked wrestling".

Sounds like a good addition? Right? RIGHT?! :grin:

Now if the writers figure that one out they'd be geniuses!!! :yahoo1:

(yes, I know, my mind's in the gutter today! :crazy: )
