I won't be that surprised if Jack does die. He's been sidelined this series and I think RTD seriously wants to make Gwen his main character. (Although you could argue she always has been.) Killing Jack off would allow her to be the star. I'm fairly sure Gwen won't die, though. She's more immortal than Jack. And I can't say I'd be all that bothered about Rex or Esther. I like Esther but I can't say losing her would cause me too much angst.
I can't see the show working without Jack, and I can't see it lasting very long either. I certainly wouldn't be watching a show with Gwen as the main character and I can see a lot of people doing the same - I know Gwen has some fans but I know of more who dislike or tolerate her. It would keep the casual viewers, of course, but more of the hardcore fans would desert the show, I suspect.
I honestly believe Gwen could have been an awesome character if she had been better written. She does have her awesome moments too but they're so often ruined by bad writing and her flaws not being written as flaws. I could say the same about Miracle Day though - the premise has been interesting but the writing hasn't been great and the pacing has been terrible. I've enjoyed it to some degree but it hasn't been brilliant and it hasn't been Torchwood.
