Behind the scenes
Along with Sarah Jane, Luke and Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart, this character is one of only three fictional humans to appear both in Doctor Who and The Sarah Jane Adventures. Another newsreader has also appeared in both programs, but he is a real-life BBC Wales newsreader, Jason Mohammad, playing himself.
Naming controversy
This reporter's name is the subject of some ambiguity. Her name has only been seen in a chyron once. In one account of the Slitheen infiltration of the British government by the Slitheen in World War III, her name was seen as "Mal Loup", a vague French translation for "Bad Wolf". This in-universe citation, however, was only seen on an official, but in-universe, BBC website, not in the episode as broadcast. Likewise, the name "Trinity Wells" comes only from the credits of Turn Left and The Stolen Earth, not the episode themselves. It's possible the appearance of the Mal Loup name in this instance was a manifestation of the Bad Wolf entity. (DW: The Parting of the Ways)
