Rhys fancied | Rhys fancied [[Gwen Cooper]] from the moment they met in college, in part because of her looks. ([[TV]]: ''[[Adam (TV story)|Adam]]'') For their first date, Rhys took Gwen on a [[picnic]] on the [[beach]], not knowing it was a [[nudist beach]]. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Sin Eaters (audio story)|The Sin Eaters]]'') They were in the queue at a [[supermarket]] purchasing ingredients to make [[spaghetti bolognese]] when he realised that the dish would give Gwen [[garlic]] breath and decided that they would have to make something else, leading her to nickname him "Rhys the Rant" and [[kiss]] him for the first time. He decided in that moment that he would [[marriage|marry]] her one day. ([[TV]]: ''[[Adam (TV story)|Adam]]'') | ||
Rhys and Gwen did not have [[sex]] until they had been on at least five dates. Gwen took Rhys back to her home where he found [[Geraint Cooper]] making a cup of [[tea]], surprising him as he did not know that Gwen lived with her parents. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Thirst Trap (audio story)|Thirst Trap]]'') He was not much of a [[cook]] and Gwen would later remark that his visits to her house might have been the only time that he had a decent [[meal]]. After they moved into a flat together, their roles reversed and Rhys became the better cook of the two. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Department X (audio story)|Department X]]'') He celebrated with [[champagne]] when Gwen qualified as a [[police officer]] and told her how proud he was. | |||
Rhys | Rhys once had an interview with [[Luckley's]] ([[TV]]: ''[[Ghost Machine (TV story)|Ghost Machine]]'') and got a job as a [[transport manager]] ([[TV]]: ''[[Day One (TV story)|Day One]]'') with [[Harwood's Haulage]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[Meat (TV story)|Meat]]'') He put on the [[suit]] that he wore to the Luckley's interview for [[Mary Cooper]]'s sixtieth birthday party, but his zip malfunctioned and Gwen chased him around the flat to staple his trousers shut. ([[TV]]: ''[[Ghost Machine (TV story)|Ghost Machine]]'') | ||
Although Rhys was aware of the [[Sycorax]] [[Sycorax invasion of Earth|invasion]], the [[Ghost Shift]] and the [[Battle of Canary Wharf]], he did not believe that the parties responsible were [[alien]]s and reasoned that they were mass [[hallucination]]s caused by [[terrorism|terrorists]] putting [[psychotropic drug]]s in the water supply.

When Gwen began working for Torchwood, she let him believe she worked for nothing more exciting than generic "special ops". As Gwen became more involved with Torchwood, Rhys grew irritated with her evasions and long hours. Gwen broke off a date to go [[bowling]] with him to investigate a [[meteorite]] fall with the team. ([[TV]]: ''[[Day One (TV story)|Day One]]'') Rhys would stay up and listen to the local radio stations every night when Gwen was called out, sometimes until two in the morning, in case there was a report on a bank robbery or a raid on a crack den. Every night she was out there was a nutter on the radio talking about [[UFO]]s. It occurred to Rhys that the same nutter was probably on the radio every night she wasn't out as well. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Slow Decay (novel)|Slow Decay]]'') | |||
After he and Gwen had another argument when she missed dinner because of her work, she used the [[Quantum transducer|Ghost Machine]] to relive memories of an earlier, happier relationship. ([[TV]]: ''[[Ghost Machine (TV story)|Ghost Machine]]'') Rhys and Gwen organised to go on a date to the [[Indian Summer (restaurant)|Indian Summer]] as an apology for the amount of time she was spending away; there he bumped into his co-worker [[Lucy Sobel]] while waiting for Gwen. Gwen was convinced he had feelings for Lucy and Rhys realised that he and Gwen were falling apart. Rhys tried to change his lifestyle, visiting a [[Scotus Clinic|weight-loss clinic]], in order to maintain their relationship. He unknowingly became the host of an [[George Harrison (Slow Decay)|alien parasite]].
