Whatever happened to Grace Holloway? Rights issues meant that Daphne Ashbrook couldn't reprise the role, but now that Doctor Who is part of the Disney empire, could that change the bargaining position?

Long before Donna Noble had regrets over saying no to travels in the TARDIS, Grace turned down the Eighth Doctor in the first minutes of New Year's Day 2000. How did her experiences with the Doctor and the Master change her life? Did they fuel her medical career?

The return of Daphne Ashbrook as Grace could answer all of these questions, giving us a chance to learn more about the '90s companion we never got. And while we're at it, reunite her with Paul McGann's Eighth Doctor!
