Doctor Who: 10 One Off Monsters Who Should Return (And The Stories They Need)

1. Lucy Cartwright/Sister of Mine

1 lucy €œHe still visits my sister, once a year, every year. I wonder if one day he might forgive her... but there she is. Can you see? He trapped her inside a mirror. Every mirror. If ever you look at your reflection and see something move behind you just for a second, that's her. That's always her.€ €“ Son of Mine. Holy god, someone get Paul Cornell on the phone because we have some seriously untapped potential here. Sister of Mine was a member of the Family of Blood who hunted down the Doctor in order to absorb the lifespan of a Time Lord (forcing him to become human in one of the best episodes of the €˜New Who€™ era). The Doctor shows the Family his dark side by granting their wishes in the most horrific ways possible. One of them even gets tricked into an event horizon of a collapsing galaxy. Sister of Mine, in her form of possessing the little girl, Lucy Cartwright, is trapped inside every mirror. No-one can say that there isn€™t some great horror episode to be written out of this. Sister of Mine is perhaps the only one with a chance of escaping her prison, given that they are telepathic creatures. When people are alone and in front of a mirror they can place a tremendous amount of emotion to be reflected back upon them. We pour self-confidence, hope, fear, frustration and almost everything into ourselves when gazing through a mirror, what if there was a little girl, just out of view, feeding off all of it? Getting stronger and stronger until she starts to torment everyone in an attempt to break free. With that I€™m off to write my fan script. Which entries do you think should come back? Who was missed off that you want to see return? What changes would you make to reinvent a monster? Comment below and I hope your enjoying Doctor Who as much as I am.
