'''Alice Carter''' (previously '''Sangster''', née '''Melissa Moretti'''; b. [[5 August]] [[1975]]) was the daughter of [[Jack Harkness]] and [[Lucia Moretti]] of [[Torchwood Three]].


'''Alice Carter''' (née '''Melissa Moretti''', previously '''Sangster''') was the daughter of [[Jack Harkness]] and [[Lucia Moretti]], a former Italian [[Torchwood Three]] operative, and thus also [[Gray]]'s niece. She lived with her son, Jack's grandson, [[Steven Carter|Steven]], who like every child in the world was briefly taken over by [[the 456]]. In 1977, Alice was put into cover by her mother, [[Lucia Moretti|Lucia]], who died in 2006 of natural causes. In hiding, Alice's parents were recorded as James and Mary Sangster, however the government knew they did not exist.

Agent Johnson and her men took Alice and Steven into custody to use against Jack. (TV: Children of Earth: Day Three [+]Loading...["Children of Earth: Day Three (TV story)"])

On Day Five, Alice and Steven were released from prison. Jack needed a child to reverse the signal that had killed Clem McDonald, to use against the 456. With no other child available, Jack used his grandson, despite Alice's wishes.

Steven died. Afterwards, Alice encountered her father in a hallway, but turned and left him without saying a word. (TV: Children of Earth: Day Five [+]Loading...["Children of Earth: Day Five (TV story)"])
