IT'S SNOWING!!! Okay, excuse my offline life (I got exited because it suddenly started snowing), but since when was Billie Piper confirmed to ber in series 5? And it classes her as playing an uanounced character. Because Billie is very, very well-known in Doctor Who, there is no way in hell they would introduced a new character played by her - people would be like "That's Rose!" no matter who the character is.
Do you honestly think a well-known actress would return, only to play a different character? Hell no, that isn't happening. Not unless there is hige prostetics and you can't recognise them. I highly dount they would bring a well-known actor to play a different character, it would feel very wrong.
So unless Billie is playing some alien and you therefore can't recognise her, she will be playing Rose. I could imagine Billie Piper playing another character in the same show, and you can recognise her and everything from tip to toe. Unless the character is Rose's descendent or ancestor (such as the Joan Redfern and Verity Newman thing; different characters played by the same actress meaning the characters are related to explain the similarites in appearance).

I agree. This is news to me as I haven't heard that. What about Maxil and 6? did they ever explain that one? Geffe71 16:12, January 9, 2010 (UTC)
Maxil and 6 was different. Colin Baker got the role as the sixth doctor after he played Maxil. It's far less likely for someone to look at the new main character and say "oh, that's the same guy from that episode last year". It could easily go unnoticed, whereas giving a former main character a different part would be noticed by most fans.--TemporalSpleen 16:27, January 9, 2010 (UTC)
Today well-known actors of a show only play one character (unless they're under prostetic), because suddely brigning them back to play another character will leave people finding it hard to see them as adifferent characters. If it is a one-off character becoming a major (different) character, that is more likely. But today, see seen, when sifferent characters are played by the same actor, they're related in a form of ancestor or descendent way. (i.e. Joan Redfern and Verity Newman, or that Pompiie guy and Jhon Frobisher being very distant relatives). Delton Menace 19:09, January 9, 2010 (UTC)
