Will Jenny come back to Doctor Who

Answered By: Noah Russell Date: created: Dec 01 2023

The Doctor’s daughter, Jenny, was the Doctor’s only child and was a beloved character. Despite this, Jenny has never reappeared in Doctor Who. Jenny is the Doctor’s only child, but despite being such a unique character, Jenny never returned to Doctor Who, The Doctor’s (then David Tennant) daughter (Georgia Tennant) first appeared in season 4, episode 8 “The Doctor’s Daughter” and was created from a DNA extraction the Doctor was forced to give when he, Martha (Freema Agyeman), and Donna (Catherine Tate) land on the planet Messaline.

Jenny is actually a clone, as the inhabitants of the planet had been churning out clones of themselves to supply their army for the war of Haths versus humans. Jenny and the Doctor’s story was very turbulent, from the Doctor not accepting Jenny as his child to Jenny taking a bullet for the Doctor to save him.

Throughout the episode the Doctor does start to see Jenny as his own and teaches her his morals, causing him heartbreak when she dies, and he soon departs Messaline. However, Jenny comes back to life afterward, most likely through a weaker form of regeneration inherited from her father.

Answered By: Charles Hughes Date: created: Aug 15 2024

Doctor Who’s new venture involves Billie Piper (Picture: BBC) Billie Piper will be reprising her role of Rose Tyler in the Doctor Who universe later this year. In September, she’ll star in three new audio adventures and some plot details have already been released by the production company Big Finish.

Rose will be trapped in a dangerous reality after jumping through dimensions – just a standard Monday in the Doctor Who world. Billie, 40, will be taking centre stage as the synopsis reads: ‘Rose’s mission is to save the multiverse – but first, she must save herself!’ The quest sounds exhausting but we’re sure Rose is up to it.

The episodes are called Sink or Swim, The Lower Road, and The Good Samaritan, and the whole series is aptly named Trapped. Billie will be lending her voice to the project (Picture: PA) Camille Coduri is also back as Rose’s mum Jackie, and they are joined by Danni, played by Em Thane. Her mysterious character ‘will form a close bond with Rose’ in the third part of the ongoing series Rose Tyler: The Dimension Cannon. Camille is back as Rose’s mum Jackie (Picture: Roberto Ricciuti/Getty Images) ‘It doesn’t feel over. Rose Tyler has more life in her yet.’ Producer Emily Cook explained how the third volume in the trilogy differs from the previous two. ‘Wherever Rose went, she’s now trapped there for the duration of this series and this reality is stranger and more dangerous than anywhere she’s been before,’ she explained. Billie began playing Rose in 2005 (Picture: PA) The actress originally starred as Rose Tyler in the sci-fi series, alongside David Tennant’s Doctor, when it was rebooted between 2005 and 2006. She came back to the show in 2008, 2010 and 2013, but she ‘didn’t like the responsibility’ that came with the role.

Speaking to Lauren Laverne on BBC Radio 4’s Desert Island Discs, the singer and actress said she ‘didn’t know that it would be successful’. ‘It made me really famous again in that sort of mainstream fame way that I find really uncomfortable,’ she told Lauren.
