R.I.P.

I just read that on Twitchy.

Another part of my childhood gone.

holy smokes. I was just watching an old episode with her in it yesterday on netflix (Power of Kroll). So sad. I always liked her and she was my favorite Romana. Makes me feel old.

=(

RIP

:'(

She really brought Romana to life. R.I.P.

It has not been a good few years for Doctor Who companions. :-(

I don't know about that. But they are in a better place.

I found out about this immediately upon arriving at work yesterday. I stood at my desk in silence for nearly twenty minutes. Half of my IM friends list messaged me before the day was over to talk about it. :(

Extremely sad news. I actually preferred LW as Romana, but I loved all The Key of Time episodes.

Lots of Who folks from the TB era going to the Tardis in Elysium.

:(

At least we are not predicting who will be next

Spoilers!

My favourite Romana too. I liked how she called the Doctor on his jerkiness, some of the time.

Is there a reason this was thread-resurrected? This happened 6 months ago.

Yeah, that's right. Weird?!

Memorial threads are always topical. After all, she's still dead isn't she? If we can't resurrect the best Romana, why not the thread to her memory.

Thanks, Mark. You're a mensch.

Not saying it was bad, but I was worried someone would get confused.

But on the subject, there was a lovely piece on her in Doctor Who Monthly a few months ago. Really nice article.
