Jimmy Stone was an ex-boyfriend of Rose Tyler by 2005. When she brought up Jimmy to her current boyfriend, Mickey Smith, Rose seemed to pronounce Jimmy's surname as Stones. (TV: Rose) Accounts varied to Jimmy Stone's fate. (PROSE: Meet Rose, Rose)

Biography

In September 2003,[1] when Rose was sixteen, she met twenty year old Jimmy Stone, the bass guitartist in the band No Hot Ashes, which was local to the Powell Estate. He had a reputation of being the "Fittest Boy" on the estate, and Rose fell "head over heels" in love with him. She dumped her current boyfriend, Mickey Smith, and dropped out of school and her A levels, and moved into a bedsit with Jimmy. Five months later, by February 2004, their relationship broke apart, Rose returned home, heartbroken, and £800 in debt. Meanwhile, Jimmy had travelled to Amsterdam with a woman named Noosh in a camper van. (PROSE: Meet Rose) Jackie prided herself on helping Rose get over the relationship. (AUDIO: Flight Into Hull!)

Jimmy eventually ran off with Rose's computer. When Rose returned, she saw that Mickey had (inadvertently) remained faithful, and got back with him. (PROSE: Rose)

Fate

Rose later mentioned Jimmy Stones when discussing with Mickey (who was an Auton duplicate), mentioning that it was his fault she didn't do her A levels. She also seemed to know that Stones had ended up in a bad place. (TV: Rose)

According to one account, Jimmy would serve eighteen months in prison, and when he got out,[2] all he could do was sell brushes from door to door. (PROSE: Meet Rose)

According to a second account, Jimmy was robbing his current girlfriend, Abena, during the 2005 Auton invasion, when he was killed by the Autons, who chopped him up into little pieces as he left the house. (PROSE: Rose)

Behind the scenes

This section's awfully stubby.

Information from The Shooting Scripts ought to be added.

Oddly, Billie Piper seemed to mispronounce Jimmy's surname in TV: Rose incorrectly. Piper clearly says Stones in dialogue, however the broadcast and series 1 DVD subtitles have consistently maintained Stone's, and both PROSE: Meet Rose and Rose have shown Jimmy's surname to be Stone. From this, is seems that RTD intended Stone, and the usage of Stones was an accident.

Footnotes

  1. Going by Rose being sixteen after having been born on 27 April 1987, the year would be 2003. However, this is inconsistent with TV: Rose, as should be nineteen, not eighteen, however this date is consistent with TV: Father's Day and Rise of the Cybermen, as those stories depict Rose only being half a year old by late 1987.
  2. Provided that he served his full sentence, he would've been let out in around February 2006, if the sentence started when Rose got her job at Henrik's in around August 2004.
