Doctor Who: 10 More Characters We Want To See Return
8. Jenny
Somewhere out there, Jenny the Doctor’s daughter is out there having adventures of her own. Possibly. The original intention was to have the character killed off at the end of The Doctor’s Daughter, but it was Steven Moffat’s intervention that allowed her to live to fight another day.
We all know that Moffat doesn’t like our heroes to stay dead, whereas Russell T Davies had no qualms about killing off the likes of Lynda with a Y or Astrid Peth. And yet, despite Jenny’s reprieve, we’ve seen or heard nothing from the anomalous character.
It would seem however, that Russell T Davies got his wish after all. When asked what became of Jenny, Moffat explains: “I've got Russell T Davies' answer. Apparently it was me that kept her alive, because I said – when I heard about the idea – 'Oh don't kill her at the end, that's the Star Trek thing to do.' So he kept her alive just because I said that. And I wrote to him after and said, 'well I didn't know that I did that,' and he said, 'oh it doesn't matter, Steven, she flew straight into a moon!'”
