User:SOTO/Forum Archive/The Reference Desk/@comment-4028641-20170530022314 So a few years ago I read a quote from someone at DWM about how most of the people involved in Doctor Who Weekly were strongly against the Doctor taking on a companion, which they eventually had to with Sharon Davies. What I recall reading is that they a) didn't design Sharon to be a character who would last outside of Doctor Who and the Star Beast, b) purposefully wrote her out of most of the scenes in Doctor Who and the Dogs of Doom, c) aged her in the following story so that they wouldn't have to keep writing a bothersome teenager, and d) wrote her out just as quickly as they had allowed her to be written in. However, I recently tried and failed to hunt down some of these quotes to discuss on her page, only to find them hard to discover. Did I make these up? Or are they hidden in the back of some issue of Vworp! Vworp! somewhere?
