Copper Into Gold – Eve Myles Exclusive Eve Myles talks about her journey from curious constable to the heart of Torchwood, as deputy leader and organiser extraordinaire Gwen Cooper. One thing that's apparent from the first episode of series two onwards, is that it's a slightly different Gwen we're seeing this time round. Myles agrees: “She has to be more switched on than ever, because she's protecting the people she loves. The wonderful thing about Gwen is that she'll never stop being frightened. She's a young girl, not a robot. But she's got a job and she does it."
