Can we talk about the fact Tosh had a little brother? And he’s just completely ignored in every way.
He’s been mentioned twice, ever. The first time is in the big finish audio ‘Torchwood_cascade_CDRIP.tor’ when the virus accused Tosh of abandoning him which properly pissed her off.
The second time was in a deleted scene in ‘Captain Jack Harkness’ (thank you shooting scripts) where she is talking Tim. She asks how old he is and he says 18. Tosh responds by saying ‘same age as my little brother… I hardly ever see him.’
What we can work out from this is that Tosh’s brother was born around 1989/1990 and, seeing as the audio is set before Gwen joined torchwood, we know he died before then. On the wiki, it says he died before Tosh joined Torchwood. Even though, unless I’m misinterpreting it, the CJH deleted scene makes it seem like he’s still alive.
That is literally every piece of information on Tosh’s brother that we have though. I don’t know why I actually care but the shooting scripts have made me realise how many things were cut that could’ve led to these great storylines. I think they need to utilise the character in some way.
Note: if he would’ve been 18 in CJH and died before Tosh joined Torchwood then he would’ve been only about 14 when he died which is absolutely horrible :D
