An '''alien''' fled from the [[Sorvix]]'s God to [[Cardiff]] at the time when [[Torchwood Three]] was rebuilt by [[Gwen Cooper]]. She took over her body and posed as Gwen for a couple of months, raising only slight suspicion that "something was off" from [[Jack Harkness]] and [[St John Colchester|Mr Colchester]]. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Herald of the Dawn (audio story)|Herald of the Dawn]]'') | |||
She killed Gwen's mother [[Mary Cooper]] ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Aliens & Sex & Chips & Gravy (audio story)|Aliens & Sex & Chips & Gravy]]'') and other individuals who suspected that she wasn't whom she seemed to be. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Tagged (audio story)|Tagged]]'') While possessed, the real Gwen's consciousness unsuccessfully tried to communicate with the others. Only the alien could hear her. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Aliens & Sex & Chips & Gravy (audio story)|Aliens & Sex & Chips & Gravy]]'') | |||
While investigating an escape room with [[Rhys Williams|Rhys]], Mr Colchester and his husband [[Colin Colchester-Price]], she raised more suspicions from Colchester for her rough decisions. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Escape Room (audio story)|Escape Room]]'', ''[[Herald of the Dawn (audio story)|Herald of the Dawn]]'') Eventually, [[Andy Davidson]] contacted Jack when "Gwen" started to behave strangely upon hearing the proclamations "God is returning" from random people. Jack faced "Gwen" at [[the Hub]], where Mr Colchester tried to contain the unstable [[Cardiff Space-Time Rift|Rift]]. Jack asked him to leave it as it is, and a burst of energy from the Rift separated the real Gwen from the alien. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Herald of the Dawn (audio story)|Herald of the Dawn]]'') | |||
== Behind the scenes == | |||
* The character mostly pretends to be [[Gwen Cooper]] and, hence, is never named in the audios. "Ng" (pronounced "eng") is the way she was presented in the cast lists. In interviews, it was mostly treated as an abbreviation of "not Gwen" and at least once as "new Gwen". | |||
* [[James Goss]] and [[Scott Handcock]] said that the character was pitched by [[Russell T Davies]], who helped to develop ''[[Aliens Among Us (audio series)|Aliens Among Us]]'' for [[Big Finish Productions]]. It was the only way to include Gwen Cooper in ''Aliens Among Us'' due to the unavailability of [[Eve Myles]] for most of the recording sessions for the ongoing series. However, Eve recorded a few lines in a single day, which were used throughout the series, and the final monologue (written by Davies himself) for [[Herald of the Dawn (audio story)|the final episode]]. While unavailable for the ongoing series, Eve returned to play Gwen for many standalone stories for Big Finish. ([[BFX]]: ''[[Aliens Among Us 3]]'') | |||
* According to Goss and Handcock, [[Alexandria Riley]]'s performance as Gwen "fooled quite a few people", who, upon listening to [[Changes Everything (audio story)|the first episode]] of the series, thought that it was Eve Miles playing Gwen. ([[BFX]]: ''[[Aliens Among Us 3]]'') | |||
* Russell T Davies suggested that "Not Gwen" should kill [[Andy Davidson]], but Goss and Handcock felt it would be too much, as the character is very much loved by the whole team and the fans, and replaced Andy with [[Mary Cooper|Gwen's mother]]. ([[BFX]]: ''[[Aliens Among Us 3]]'') | |||
