This page is not needed as it is already under the title Joan Redfern (TV character) saying exactly the same--Skittles the hog 21:24, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
- It doesn't say the same thing, and they are two different characters. While one is based on the other they react and interact with Smith and other characters in a different way. Joan in the novel interacts with Bernice Summerfield in a very different way to Joan in the TV story. --Tangerineduel 22:50, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
- Considering The Big Finish anniversary episode "Zagreus" cleared up the confusion over the EDAS novels' canonicity, by stating they're an alternate timeline possibility (and forcing Eight to watch that alternate self for a bit) IT's quite possible the events of THIS novel is set in a alternate timeline. so this version can exist but should be consider AU.
