According to the BBC, he “cleans up after the team and gets them everywhere on time”.

According to SFX Magazine: "He's kind of a butler. I've always described him
as Alfred, Batman's butler, but 50 years younger. He basically looks after
everyone. He makes the coffee, he makes the tea, he drives the truck round,

but he's probably more like Radar from M*A*S*H. Just as Captain Jack is
saying, 'You know what we need right now?' he's out getting it. He's got one
or two really big episodes during the series and I must say he's a real
find. He plays fear and upset in his eyes like no other actor I know."

I have only seen the first two episodes, which haven't shown much of Ianto, but I'm sure there is plenty that can be done with him.

He's an enigma.
And he does look good in a suit.

[ladygiggs]

I love characters like Ianto, 'the cleaners'. It's a talent.

And it's only harassment if he doesn't like it

[Loner]

Is it just me or does he always seem to have a glass of scotch in his hand?

I'm starting to think he has a problem...

[ladygiggs]

Yep, I bet that's scotch in that tea mug of his.

[Loner]

Hmmm.... I really shouldn't be encouraging these ideas when you're at work, should I?

Muwahahahahaha!

[ladygiggs]

I would much rather be doing Ianto's job than my own. He has no reason to disguise his vodka in a bottle of lemon, lime and bitters. I do

[Loner]

Much with the bitters, eh? A drink to suit the mood...

Yes, he's an enigma. We need to know more about all of them but it's just going way too slow for me! COME ON! COME ON! COME ON!

I want more episodes and i want them NOW!

[ladygiggs]

I am just going to buy the first part of the series from the BBC shop. I think Ianto is great, he's sure to get more exposure later in the series.

Tut tut, Loner, if it weren't for the gutter your mind would be homeless.

[Loner]

Ah, yes but according to Wilde, from here I can see the stars!

And as long as those stars are goodlookin' ...

Gareth said he felt ianto looked up to captain jack, like he wanted to be like him

funny, since they then have sex.................

[Loner]

Don't tell me that! I have only seen as far as Small Worlds yet!

And I would be surprised if ANYONE looked up to Captain Jack. He never carries out any of his threats. Why would you follow his orders when there is no consequence if you don't?

I actually felt quite sympathetic towards Ianto in Cyberwoman. At first. I did get quite annoyed with him when he failed (or refused) to see Lisa was going to kill them all and there was no way to reclaim her.
And when he was yelling back at Jack and saying "When did you ever ASK me about my personal life? How would you know ANYTHING about me?"
I was yelling at the telly "YES! FINALLY!!! You tell him! That's right! Ianto IS always picking up your sh*t!""
