:I think the reason that a lot of people have issues with Victoria is because they don't quite get that she's supposed to be an actual girl. I think if ''Evil'' actually survived, the point would be a lot clearer and more people would "get" Victoria. Certainly, she gets ''way'' more character development on the point of being an orphan than did the only-marginally-older [[Nyssa]]. But Nyssa has had the benefit of a number of audios and books to fill in the televised gaps, whereas Victoria has barely appeared outside of her (mostly missing) television season. {{user:CzechOut/Sig}}{{User:CzechOut/TimeFormat}} 14:32: Sun 08 Sep 2013</span> | :I think the reason that a lot of people have issues with Victoria is because they don't quite get that she's supposed to be an actual girl.

::Thank you. That does make things a little clearer. I suppose it was inevitable that there would have been too many problems hiring a child actor to play a regular companion, and so they had to cast an adult actress as a teenager. It just jars a little, that's all. Especially when you consider that in the 1860s, girls didn't go through puberty until an average age of about 16, and so the fact that Debbie was, ahem....quite prominent in the chest area was all the more incongruous for that fact.
