Biography
Early life
Around 1979, Bridget was attached to the Civil Service for six months, during which she met John Frobisher. Although Swales did not think that he would be successful, Bridget disagreed and kept an eye on him. Ten years later, Frobisher asked for Bridget as his personal assistant, which surprised her as she did not think that he knew her name. (TV: Children of Earth: Day Five)
The 456 incident
Bridget was still working for Frobisher in September 2009, when Lois Habiba was assigned to help her whilst the computer system was updated. She gave Lois her login details, which she used to look into the Torchwood Institute, and sent off the Blank Page per Frobisher's orders, something that she seemed unhappy with doing. (TV: Children of Earth: Day One) Bridget witnessed the construction of the tank for the arrival of the 456 and asked if they could determine what sort of creature could survive in the poisonous atmosphere. (TV: Children of Earth: Day Two) When negotiations began, she accompanied Frobisher and attended the COBRA meetings. (TV: Children of Earth: Day Three)
In a COBRA meeting, Bridget attempted to stop Lois from speaking up and learnt that she was working with Torchwood Cardiff. (TV: Children of Earth: Day Four) Following Frobisher's murder-suicide, she visited Lois in her prison cell and told her of how Frobisher ought to be remembered as a good man. She learnt from Lois how to use the Eye-5 contact lenses and withdrew them from evidence, using them to record Brian Green who described himself as "lucky" after the incident. She told Green that she had been recording and was dismissed by Denise Riley, who promised to have Lois released and that Green would be exposed. (TV: Children of Earth: Day Five)
