Captain Jack Return?
If John Barowman was ever to return the role as Captain Jack, would it be likely to be series 8 or would it be likely to never touch upon the character again.
I have a feeling he may return, The Clues Are; Clue 1: The Doctor and Clara are in possession of the vortex manipulator (Could this mean anything?) Clue 2: He did NOT return in the 50th, could this be because he may return again? I would love to see your opinions on Jack's Return and weather you'd want him to, I'd love to see the chemistry between him and The Twelfth Doctor and Clara. Possibly as a 3-parter set on Gallifrey with the master? |

Jack...River Song character type Mark 1 from Moffat. Kidding. Kind of. Running and hiding. Defintely

Actually, UNIT has it. If Clara had it, she wouldn't have needed Tasha to pick her up in the TARDIS.

Vortex manipulator? Could this mean anything? No reason why it should. 2. Hrostar the Menoptra didn't return in the 50th - by your logic this means that we are due a return to Vortis! Hooray! Yartek, leader of the Alien Voord didn't return, etc etc... It means nothing. A Clue to Jack returning would be something like, oh I don't know... Barrowman being spotted on set... |

As I think Torchwood is dead and buried, I would like to see Jack return in Dr Who. How about The Doctor lands the Tardis in Cardiff, to refuel from the rift, not realising that it is no longer there, and finds Jack in the ruins of the Hub, who is endevoring to recover any remains that there may be. That would be a starter for a story.

I think Jack's done character wise.

I'd be quite happy to see Jack return, I thought it was quite good having a bit of an action man watching the Doctor's back (erm, so to speak!). I don't think he's spent, character wise, there are all sorts of possibilities, it just needs a good writer.

Yikes...a wisecracking, flirty, mysteriously presented, time travelling character, there to bounce off the doctor, but not be dominated storywise by him, if anything, there to both help with a keen mind, but distract/exasperate the Doctor with slightly over played 'cuteness' just as much.

If The Doctor still needed to refuel the TARDIS from the rift, he could go back in time to when the rift was still there prior to the events of Torchwood: Children Of Earth. |

![]() I do have to ask though, and maybe I've missed or forgotten something, but why is the rift gone just because the hub is? I thought the rift was much like the cracks, and existed despite what physical matter was or wasn't around it. Also that rift had existed since 1869 way before the hub was ever built. |

I like this idea, it sounds like a dark story, which is always good.

It was closed in the Torchwood Audio play The House of the Dead. |

I'd rather Jack than Fleetwood Mac. (Spearhead from Space I think?)
Seriously, if someone comes up with a great story idea that suits Captain Jack, why not? Of course that covers any number of characters. Still got my fingers crossed for William Russell, even if it's just a cameo. |

They could bring captain jack story to an end, full circle
There an explosion, and a certain type of radiation is leaked, and it de stabilises captain jack, and from this we see the face of boe, being born The planet there on has life saving equipment, which is now given to the face of boe |

It was closed in the Torchwood Audio play The House of the Dead. I don't classify the Audios as being canon, only the TV episodes. A lot of people, apparently feel the same way. That's the same with the story books. I don't really read those. I've read a few, but not all of them. So, to me, and a lot of people, if the rift wasn't closed on tv, it's still open. |

Was it ever established that Jack was the Face of Boe? or it just assumption?
