'''Shareen Costello''' ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Meet Rose (short story)}}) was a friend of [[Rose Tyler]]'s. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The End of the World (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Unquiet Dead (TV story)}}, {{cs|School Reunion (TV story)}}, et al.)


==Profile==
Rose typically went to parties with [[Mickey Smith]] and Shareen. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Rose and the Snow Window (short story)}}) According to Rose, Shareen would always say, "Don't argue with the [[designated driver]]".

When Rose was in school, she would often intentionally miss class to go shopping with Shareen and the two girls would go to look at boys. ([[DW]]: ''[[The Unquiet Dead]]'')


Before Rose left her home [[planet]] of [[Earth]] with [[Ninth Doctor|the Doctor]] on 6 March, [[2005]], Shareen had been upset and Rose had tried to comfort her, spending at least one night at Shareen's in her effort to do so. ([[DW]]: ''[[Aliens of London]]'')
Rose recalled another saying of Shareen's, "Worry about that tomorrow", while thinking about her desire to keep the Doctor secret from her boyfriend [[Mickey Smith|Mickey]]. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Rose (novelisation)}})


Also before leaving, Rose had heard Shareen, on at least a few occasions, state, "don't argue with the designated driver". ([[DW]]: "[[The End of the World]]") Rose quoted Shareen's statement after journeying with the Doctor to [[Platform One]] in the year [[5.5/Apple/26]]. ([[DW]]: ''[[The End of the World]]'')

After Rose returned to Earth with the Doctor, she told him that she planned to explain her twelve hours' absence from the council flat she lived in with her mother, [[Jackie Tyler|Jackie]], by telling her mother that she had spent the night at Shareen's. When she went back to her home, Rose claimed that Shareen had been "all upset again".

==Behind the Scenes==
When Rose was [[13 (number)|thirteen]], in [[2000]] or [[2001]], Rose went on a [[school trip]] to ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Meet Rose (short story)}}) [[Paris]], ([[COMIC]]: {{cs|Art Attack (comic story)}}) in [[France]], with Shareen Costello. They were meant to go to the [[Musee de Louvre]] ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Meet Rose (short story)}}) to see the ''[[Mona Lisa]]'', ([[COMIC]]: {{cs|Art Attack (comic story)}}) but they "escaped" their teachers, and caught a [[train]] to [[Parc Asterix]]. They were caught by the [[police]] when they were waiting the queue for the [[Menhir Express]]. They were sent home, accompanied by Mrs [[Kissock (Meet Rose)|Kissock]], ruining her trip as well. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Meet Rose (short story)}}) Because they flunked off, they never got to see the ''Mona Lisa''. ([[COMIC]]: {{cs|Art Attack (comic story)}})
Shareen has never appeared on ''[[Doctor Who]]'' and has only ever been mentioned by Rose.


In the ''[[Doctor Who Annual 2006]]'', an article about Rose, written by [[Russell T Davies]], includes a paragraph that gives Shareen's last name as "Costello". The paragraph details how, on a school trip to France when Rose was 13, she and Shareen, Rose's "best mate" (at least at that time), escaped the teachers who were accompanying them, crossed town, and boarded a train to Parc Asterix, instead of going to [[the Louvre]] (which they had been scheduled to visit on that day). After they were caught by police while waiting in a queue for the Menhir Express, Shareen was sent home with Rose.
Before Rose left her home [[planet]] of [[Earth]] with the [[Ninth Doctor]] on [[6 March]] [[2005]], Shareen had been upset and Rose had tried to comfort her, spending at least one night at Shareen's in her effort to do so.  


Rose's virtually constant travels with the Doctor and the lack of references to Shareen in episodes of ''Doctor Who'' after "Aliens of London" suggest that Rose began to have less contact with Shareen. Yet, if this is true, the diminishing nature of their relationship is merely implied and is not otherwise established.
After Rose returned to Earth with the Ninth Doctor, she told him that she planned to explain her twelve hours' absence from the council flat she lived in with her mother [[Jackie Tyler|Jackie]], by telling her mother that she had spent the night at Shareen's. When she went back to her home, Rose claimed that Shareen had been "all upset again". However, as Rose had actually been away for twelve months, and not the twelve hours that the Doctor had erroneously estimated, Jackie knew better than to believe her story about having been at Shareen's. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Aliens of London (TV story)}})


Russell T Davies would later gave ''[[Torchwood]]'' character [[Suzie Costello]] a similar name.
After an argument with [[Sarah Jane Smith]], Rose cited that the only time she and Shareen "fell out" was over a man, while she and Sarah Jane were similarly fighting over the [[Tenth Doctor]]. ([[TV]]: {{cs|School Reunion (TV story)}})
