Doctor Who show runner Steven Moffat gets asked about the Whoniverse all the time, but there's one particular fan question that comes up again and again: Would he consider resurrecting Torchwood's Ianto Jones, who was killed off in the last Torchwood series, 2009's Children of Earth? His answer? A resounding NO.
Responding to fan questions on Twitter, Moffat put the matter to rest:
"Ianto fans only: Russell's character, and I thought his death scene was brilliant. Not reversing it. Stop asking."
Then the show runner went on to say that:
"Torchwood is Russell's - nothing to do with me."
So if anyone had any hopes left that Moffat would resurrect Ianto Jones, it's over, though maybe Torchwood show runner Russell T Davies will change his mind. But ... should he? Or should Ianto Jones be left to rest once and for all?
