Just realized I haven't answered this comment yet...
Yes, Ianto and Jack's relationship will develop a bit during the following episodes, but it still remains one-sided and somewhat abusive, IMO. I saw a few clips about Gwen's wedding on YouTube the other day, and Jack's reaction when Ianto finally gathered his courage and made a brave step was no way what I'd have wanted for poor Ianto.
It's his fault, though. He shouldn't have fallen for someone who's not trapped in the same timeslot as he is.
You should read this Wikipedia entry (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ianto_Jones), especially the paragraph titled Relationship with jack.
Whatever the two actors might think about the relationship between the characters they play, I tend to agree with author Stephen James Walker's opinion: Jack and Ianto see two diagonally opposite thing in their relationship, and for Ianto, this can only end in heartbreak and tragedy.
