Kathy Nightingale: Difference between revisions

In the [[2000s]],<ref>While ''Blink'' itself uncontroversially sets its main setting in [[2007]] and "twenty minutes to [[Red Hatching]]" a year later in [[2008]]—as [[Kathy Nightingale]]'s letter describes taking "one breath in 2007 and the next in [[1920]]", and the [[Tenth Doctor]]'s side of his conversation with [[Sally Sparrow]] in [[1969]] happens 38 years before Sally says hers—these are contradicted by heavily conflicting dates in the ''[[Redacted (audio series)|Redacted]]'' audio series later on regarding both Kathy's disappearance and the Red Hatching. In ''[[Angels (audio story)|Angels]]'', [[Abby McPhail]] identifies 2008 as the year of Kathy's disappearance, which suggests [[2009]] as the year of the Red Hatching. In ''[[Salvation (audio story)|Salvation]]'', the [[Thirteenth Doctor]] recognises the Red Hatching as the cause of death of [[Andy Proctor]], whose daughter [[Cleo Proctor|Cleo]] last saw "nearly 20 years" before [[2022]] according to ''[[Recruits (audio story)|Recruits]]''.</ref> she visited [[Wester Drumlins]] with Sally to investigate the premises. There she was sent back in time to [[Hull]] on [[5 December]] [[1920]] by a [[Weeping Angel]] after being distracted by a mysterious man trying to give Sally a letter. Stranded, she started a new life, married [[Ben Wainwright]] and they had two [[Kathy Nightingale's sons|sons]] and a daughter, also named [[Sally Wainwright|Sally]].

In 1969, the [[Tenth Doctor]], working from information given to him by Sally Sparrow, contacted Kathy and enlisted her aid in sending a message to Sally in the 2000s, although it was another eighteen years before she did so.

She died in [[1987]], shortly after writing a [[letter]] that her grandson, [[Malcolm Wainwright|Malcolm Wainright]], delivered to Sally Sparrow in the 2000s.

Viewing Kathy's tombstone in the 2000s, Sally saw that the birthdate on it would have made Kathy eighteen the 1920. This led Sally to jokingly call her friend a "lying cow", indicating that Kathy lied about her age when she reestablished her life in the 1920s.
