I think Tosh is a victim of Gwen's alpha-female thing, which is a recognised phenomenon among powerful women. They see other women as more of a threat than men, so they push them out of the way and cosy up to the men. Of course, the fact that they've managed to convey this is more likely to be an accident arising from TV's unwillingness to have really good female characters. Tosh could have been so awesome, but she was just forgotten. At least she got a good death.
I have so many levels of 'I want to look after you' for Jack, it's insane. He's such a vulnerable character, but fairly unapproachable. It takes courage and understanding to get there, so I would never have believed Jack/Gwen. She's just totally wrong for him. Ianto and Jack, they just fit. But Jack is so very alien that you can't really get close to understanding him.
