Trinity Wells, possibly known as Mal Loup, was an American newsreader. She reported several alien encounters for an American news network known as "AMNN".
Profile
Based on her Zodiac sign, she was born in July or August. (SJA: Secrets of the Stars)
Stories covered
- The 2006 Slitheen crisis in London. (DW: Aliens of London/World War Three)
- The Sycorax ship flying over London. (DW: The Christmas Invasion)
- Mr Saxon announcing first contact with aliens. (DW: The Sound of Drums)
- Tranducers draining energy from electrical equipment on Earth then drawing energy from everything else including the Sun. (SJA: Revenge of the Slitheen)
- The gas emitted from the cars during the Sontaran attack. (DW: The Poison Sky)
- The Earth being moved into the Medusa Cascade. (DW: The Stolen Earth)
- Martin Trueman's enslavement of almost everyone on the planet. The reporter was herself taken over when Trueman invoked Leo. (SJA: Secrets of the Stars)
- The 456's possession of Earth's children and arrival on Earth. (TW: Children of Earth)
Alternative timelines
- The Adipose attack on the United States in a variant timeline. She survived the events of this timeline. (DW: Turn Left)
Behind the scenes
- Along with Sarah Jane, Luke and Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart, this character is one of only four 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.
- Lachele Carl is the only actress to have made appearances in all 4 new series of Doctor Who. It is unknown if she will appear in any upcoming episodes.
- Trinity Wells is the only character to have appeared in Torchwood, The Sarah Jane Adventures and Doctor Who.
Naming Problems
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 meme. (DW: The Parting of the Ways)
