Articles Where Are They Now Cast? Day Two by DJ Forrest

COE Day Two originally aired on 7th July, 2009.

Written by John Fay and directed by Euros Lyn.

After the bomb explodes blowing up the Torchwood Three base, Gwen goes on the run with Rhys, while Captain Johnson and her team pursue them both through Cardiff and London. Dekker gives Frobisher cryptic written plans from the 456 and after some help from Gwen and Rhys, Ianto rescues Jack from his concrete tomb at Ashton Down.

Now it's time for Torchwood Three team to get back to doing what they're good at. Finding just what the hell is going on!!!

In a bid to locate some of the cast who appeared in Torchwood's Children of Earth Day Two episode, I have hit upon a few snags. Finding images from the original episode to back up the current photos I've managed to find. At some point, perhaps in the future, I might locate the missing photos and update this article. For now however, it may be a case of referring to the episode to see how much some of the cast have changed, and some, not at all. As can often be the way.

Ashley Hunt

‘Recovery Worker’

'Hello? If you can hear me, clench your hand. It's not a body. It's just the arm.'

He came upon Jack Harkness' arm when he abseiled down into the crater that was once Torchwood 3 Hub.

Since Torchwood episode Day Two, Hunt appeared in the film short Mind Games in 2011.

Ighodaro played the Paramedic who was really a government soldier, with orders to kill. However, he got more than he bargained for when he came up against Gwen Cooper. When he attempts to jab her with a syringe, she shoots him in the foot.

Kodak's dead? When did that happen? Jesus. Shit meself then. He owes me money.'
