Eve Myles (born 1978) is an actress from Ystradgynlais, Wales, UK. Her television roles have included appearances in EastEnders, the television film Score, and the Doctor Who episode The Unquiet Dead. In 2002[1] and 2003,[2] Myles was nominated for Best Actress in the BAFTA Cymru Awards for her role as Ceri on the BBC Wales drama Belonging. Myles played Lavinia in the 2003 Royal Shakespeare Company production of Titus Andronicus. In 2005, she appeared opposite Michael Gambon in Henry IV, Part I and II at the National Theatre. She also had a significant part as a stable girl in the ill-fated BBC TV series Trainer some years back.
Myles plays Gwen Cooper, the female lead, in the Doctor Who spin-off series Torchwood on BBC Three.[3]
Russell T. Davies said that he is a great admirer of her work. Of her appearance in Doctor Who he told BBC South Wales "It just confirmed to me that she was one of Wales's best-kept secrets," Davies wrote the part of Gwen for Eve Myles specifically.[4] Myles' Doctor Who character was a 19th century Cardiff maid named Gwyneth. It is not yet known whether there is any connection between the two similarly named characters, however Russell T Davies commented in issue 378 of Doctor Who Magazine that they were not related, saying "Those are completely different names to me...just two names beginning with 'G'"
