(I try my best not to be anti-Gwen, but I can't help feeling she was overused and occasionally badly written throughout the series. That's why I'm trying to get fans to bring me back round. :) )
I did like the police elements she brought to Torchwood, you're right. Unfortunately, as you say, they vanished without a trace. That is a point in her favour, though, and something I can try playing with next time I write her. Thanks.
The irony here is that what makes her "deeper" and more interesting for some (the grey area of her character) comes across to me as revealing a shallow, self-centred personality. I'd be very interested in exploring her darker side in Series 2, as long as it's well-written and has some element of her trying to fight it and go back to the way she was when she first came to Torchwood - when her ideas of right and wrong were a lot clearer and she hadn't compromised her own arguments. If she tries to sort herself out that could be quite fascinating.
Also something I shall have to play with. :)
Thank you indeed. (Maybe more vague than you intended, but still enough to give me a couple of things to think about. ^_^)
