Other new faces will soon enter the fray including Lauren Ambrose (Six Feet Under), Arlene Tur (Crash), Candace Brown (Head Case), and Dichen Lachman (Dollhouse, Neighbours). All of these are complete unknowns. Which is fine. Torchwood works best when the surprises come fast and furious.
One question that hangs in the air, and will not be answered anytime soon, is, what becomes of Torchwood after this crisis? Both seasons two and three end fairly definitively, with the institute suffering heavy loss. Gwen clearly isn't happy in an isolated house. It seems unlikely she will be willing to go back there. Presumably Jack will survive. Could Miracle Day by the beginning of a whole new series, with a large ensemble besides the duo? Or will it be a ten episode adventure that ends with Torchwood still defunct? The former is the better option.
Watch Torchwood Friday nights at 10 p.m. ET on Starz.

Incredible episode, I loved it! Can't wait for next weeks episode. I felt that the first episode went by too quick, I found myself wanting more when the episode ended.

NON of the actors you named are unknowns dear, darling, sweetheart. :) six feet under was a critically acclaimed show which went on for at least six seasons. Head case made some noise, and so did head case. where in the world have you been hiding, and what kind of rock was it?

I wouldn't watch Miracle Day even if you paid me. They killed Torchwood when they killed Ianto, Owen and Tosh off within 5 episodes and leaving the worst character (Gwen) alive.

Laura - I am sorry if I wasn't clear. I meant how they will play into the Torchwood story and what their characters will bring to the table is unknown. Of course I am aware of those actors. Didn't see Head Case, but love Six Feet Under and Dollhouse.
Sheree - I love Gwen Cooper so much!
