So, out of these possibilities, who do we think James is playing? a rogue Time Agent; a tragic time-slip from World War One; and a memory-thief who uncovers long-forgotten secrets among the entire team.
I would stake my house on it not being the second one, as I am spoiled I'm saying the first one, but I am gagging for the third -whoever it happens to be. *why isn't it January 2008 yet?!*

I'm guessing the first one so he can keep being roguish in the future and continue the guest appearances whenever.

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeee! From BBC WalesAnd JB says: One thing I can tell you is that James Marsters who was Spike on Buffy is on one of the episodes of Torchwood and the scene where we meet, all I'll say in blunt terms -- in John Barrowman and Captain Jack terms -- for all of the sci fi fans out there, it's going to be a scene of extreme excitement you're going to have to go and finish yourselves off afterward because it's so wonderful and horny and sexy and wild.
I've only had two days with him so far and those two days were that scene which took twelve hours and we were just on set. But I go back on Monday and he's an absolute dream to work with. AfterEltonJohn's echoing James's own words, isn't he...

And it keeps on coming! Marsters Gets Racy On Torchwood
John Barrowman, who plays Capt. Jack Harkness on the BBC's Doctor Who spinoff Torchwood, told SCI FI Wire that a salacious comment made by guest star James Marsters (Buffy the Vampire Slayer) at a recent convention about his character was a completely accurate description.
"That's right," Barrowman said in an interview at the Television Critics Association press tour in Beverly Hills, Calif., on July 13. "'You're going to have to go finish yourself off at the end of it.' And he's absolutely right. And we filmed that three days ago, and it took 12 hours. I can't tell you what that was like."
Marsters is best known for playing Spike, the platinum-blond, British-born vampire with a weakness for a certain chosen one on Buffy the Vampire Slayer and its spinoff series, Angel.
Julie Gardner, executive-producer of Torchwood, said that Marsters will play an "omnisexual" character who has a past connection to Barrowman's Capt. Jack.
"We're kind of really embracing the omnisexual word, aren't we?" Gardner said in a separate interview. "They should all fancy each other. I mean, when they're as sexy as they are, you just want to believe anything's possible. There's a very big story for him in episode one. He and Jack have a very big shared history."
Marsters is now filming his episode in Cardiff, Wales, and has been enjoying the experience, by all accounts. "I heard from [Who executive producer] Russell T. Davies today, and James is having a blast," Gardner said. "He's loving it. He's really, really happy." SciFiWire

If it's a recurring role, who knows he could be Torchwood's answer to the Master.

I wouldn't mind a recurring villain, but to be honest I'd rather it was Bilis from last season. Creepy dude! From iF Magazine's interview with Tony Head: iF: Did you know James Marsters is joining TORCHWOOD on the BBC this season? HEAD: I know. I just got a call from him this morning. Cardiff isn’t far from me and he called and said he was in the neighborhood and I said, “Sorry dude, I’m in America.” I asked him how long he is there for and he’s finished on the 28th, and that’s the day I go back.

Well, that's part of Gareth's overall charm for me, and something else he has in common with JM. Loving the guy who buys Ianto's suits as well. He's excelled himself with this one, lovely pink lining Heh, tight pants, long boots and a big sword... what's not to like?! ;D

Well, early hours of Saturday morning. Their shooting schedule seems to involve an awful lot of veeeeery late nights. I know we should have moved on from posting this kind of general media coverage, but I like this one. Lots of gay fans tuned into Buffy the Vampire Slayer every week to see James Marsters as Spike, the lovesick and sardonic bloodsucker with major attitude and awesome hair.
Now comes word that Marsters will be playing a decidedly pansexual character - Marsters describes him as a bit naughty and a bit psychopathic - on Torchwood, the BBC spin-off of Doctor Who created by Russell T. Davies (who also created the original Queer as Folk).
Starring gay actor John Barrowman, Torchwood is a queer-friendly science-fiction series featuring characters of seemingly every possible sexual stripe. (Plus, if you hadn't noticed, its title is an anagram of "Doctor Who.") B.Gay
