(AUDIO: The Reaping) She was a Baptist (AUDIO: The Council of Nicaea) and a fan of Elvis Presley and Paul McCartney. (AUDIO: The Eye of the Scorpion)

Janine married another archaeologist, Professor Howard Foster, (TV: Planet of Fire) who already had two children of his own, (PROSE: Shell Shock) not long after Paul's death. (AUDIO: The Reaping)

She was on holiday with her daughter in Lanzarote in May 1984 when she met the octogenarian Dominique van Gysegham, who remained a good friend until their deaths. (TV: Planet of Fire, AUDIO: The Reaping) During that holiday, on 9 May 1984, Peri met the Fifth Doctor and Vislor Turlough as well as the shape-shifting android Kamelion, controlled by the Tremas Master. Kamelion assumed Howard's form and later that of the Master himself before seizing control of the TARDIS to take her to the planet Sarn to meet the real Master. Turlough decided to return to his homeworld, Trion, and Peri joined the Doctor on his travels, (TV: Planet of Fire) travelling with him for several years in his fifth and sixth incarnations. (TV: Mindwarp)

Janine was deeply concerned by her daughter's sudden disappearance in Lanzarote and wrongly accused Howard of being at least partly responsible for it. This led to the collapse of their marriage. When Peri returned to Baltimore in September 1984 in the company of the Sixth Doctor, having learned of the recent murder of her best friend Kathy Chambers' father Anthony Chambers, Janine was incensed that she had spent the previous five months (from her perspective) travelling with "some guys" whom she had met on Lanzarote without even phoning once to let her know that she was alive. She accused Peri of thinking that the world revolved around her and of being irresponsible. Peri was greatly upset when she overheard Kathy saying that things had been better for everyone when Peri was away and even more so when Janine agreed with this assessment. (AUDIO: The Reaping)
