Is there still hope for a season 5 of Torchwood?

When I saw “Capt. Jack” (John Barrowman) as a main character on Arrow, I had mixed feelings. However he doesn’t appear in every episode, maybe a third to a half I’d say and isn’t central to all of those. I just figured it was something that eventually they would have to get back to.

But periodically I go digging and found this from April which was disturbing.

Of course the actors aren’t always in the loop as this article would seem to indicate.

Don’t ask me how I came across that article. I have absolutely NO interest in his real hair color regardless of what my lying cat my say to the contrary.

Russell T Davies left Hollywood and returned to Britain. His partner is battling brain cancer. He’s apparently getting better but Russell is still only working part time. They’ve been almost begging him to work on the Doctor Who 50th and he’s refused.

Thanks. I did read about that and had considered mentioning it. I think I just forgot since I know didn’t omit it intentionally. I think I was looking at a longer time horizon so maybe that’s why. I spend too much time in that rat’s nest that I call a mind to want to venture back in to double check. There are spiders and shit in there. :slight_smile:

Just to clarify, his Arrow role was as a recurring guest star, not a regular cast member.

Ugh, I hope not. That last half-American miniseries was horrible.

I liked it. It was a pretty well thought out exploration of effects of a completely absurd premise. Plus Barrowman’s sex scenes were awesome! :slight_smile:

Miracle Day was OK. Children of Earth (the third series) was much better and more compelling, but Miracle Day had a bigger budget and it showed.

Also, (spoiler for the season finale of Arrow):

It doesn’t appear that he’ll be around for Season 2.

No, but since it IS a show based on a comic book, you never know! :smiley:
