'Torchwood' Eve Myles: 'Gwen loves Jack'

Torchwood star Eve Myles has insisted that her character Gwen "loves" Captain Jack (John Barrowman).

The actress told TV Guide that the pair share "an unspoken love" in new series Miracle Day.

Myles said: "It's... the sort of love that will never be explained. It's a respect, it's old roots, it's a partnership so special and wonderful and, most important, [it] completely works."

She added: "They fix each other, and because of that, they need each other."

Myles also revealed that viewers will initially see Gwen in a "strange, lost, quiet and suppressed state" prior to Jack's return

"As soon as Mr. Big turns up with his swishy coat and his vehicles and guns and helicopter, she couldn't be happier," she joked.

Myles also claimed that Gwen has a "wonderful" relationship with CIA agent Rex Matheson, played by new cast addition Mekhi Phifer.

"They're like raging bulls against each other," she said. "[Rex] does something to Gwen in the very first episode [and] it's unforgivable. And then they are forced to work together!"

Torchwood: Miracle Day premieres tonight at 10pm on Starz in the US and on July 14 on BBC One in the UK.
