Biography
Going out with Donna
Shaun and Donna were engaged and living together, in a small flat, as they had very little income — Shaun was on minimum wage and Donna was earning "tuppence". He was unaware of Donna's life with the Tenth Doctor because Donna herself wasn't aware of it, (TV: The End of Time [+]Loading...["The End of Time (TV story)"]) as the Doctor had had to reset Donna's memories after her mind began overloading after she became the DoctorDonna.

On Christmas Eve 2009, the Tenth Doctor saw Shaun and Donna shopping. The following day — Christmas Day — they went to the Nobles' house to give Wilfred and Sylvia their presents: Wilfred's gift was Joshua Naismith's Fighting the Future. Shaun was talking with Donna and Sylvia while Wilfred was trying to watch the Queen's speech. Later that day, when the Master walked into the Immortality Gate, he took over Shaun and turned him into another member of the Master Race. When Rassilon reversed the Master's transfer of genetic code, Shaun returned to normal along with the rest of the human race, before finding the now-unconscious Donna, bringing her to the Nobles' home.
