'''Jimmy Stone''' was an [[ex-boyfriend]] of [[Rose Tyler]]'s.
'''Jimmy Stone''' was an ex-[[boyfriend]] of [[Rose Tyler]] by [[2005]]. When she brought up Jimmy to her current boyfriend, [[Mickey Smith]], Rose seemed to pronounce Jimmy's surname as '''Stones'''. ([[TV]]: ''[[Rose (TV story)|Rose]]'') Accounts varied to Jimmy Stone's fate. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Meet Rose (short story)|Meet Rose]]'', ''[[Rose (novelisation)|Rose]]'')


When Rose was 16, she dumped [[Mickey Smith]], left [[school]] prior to sitting her [[A levels]], and ran away with Jimmy. ([[TV]]: ''[[Rose (TV story)|Rose]]'', [[PROSE]]: ''[[Rose (novelisation)|Rose]]'', [[AUDIO]]: ''[[Flight Into Hull! (audio story)|Flight Into Hull!]]'') Jimmy eventually ran off with Rose's [[computer]]. When Rose returned, she saw that Mickey had (inadvertently) remained faithful, and got back with him. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Rose (novelisation)|Rose]]'') As for Jimmy, Rose later said to the [[Auton]] version of [[Mickey Smith]], "Look where he ended up." ([[TV]]: ''[[Rose (TV story)|Rose]]'')
== Biography ==
In [[September]] [[2003]],<ref>Going by Rose being [[16 (number)|sixteen]] after having been born on [[27 April]] [[1987]], the year would be [[2003]]. However, this is inconsistent with [[TV]]: ''[[Rose (TV story)|Rose]]'', as should be nineteen, not eighteen, however this date is consistent with [[TV]]: ''[[Father's Day (TV story)|Father's Day]]'' and ''[[Rise of the Cybermen (TV story)|Rise of the Cybermen]]'', as those stories depict Rose only being half a year old by late [[1987]].</ref> when Rose was [[16 (number)|sixteen]], she met [[20 (number)|twenty]] year old Jimmy Stone, the [[bass guitar|bass guitartist]] in the band [[No Hot Ashes]], which was local to the [[Powell Estate]]. He had a reputation of being the "[[Fittest Boy]]" on the estate, and Rose fell "head over heels" in [[love]] with him. She dumped her current boyfriend, [[Mickey Smith]], and dropped out of school and her [[A levels]], and moved into a [[bedsit]] with Jimmy. Five months later, by [[February]] [[2004]], their relationship broke apart, Rose returned home, [[heartbreak|heartbroken]], and [[£]][[800 (number)|800]] in [[debt]]. Meanwhile, Jimmy had travelled to [[Amsterdam]] with a woman named [[Noosh]] in a [[camper van]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Meet Rose (short story)|Meet Rose]]'') Jackie prided herself on helping Rose get over the relationship. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Flight Into Hull! (audio story)|Flight Into Hull!]]'')


Jimmy was robbing his current [[girlfriend]], [[Abena]], during the [[2005]] [[2005 Nestene invasion of Earth|Auton invasion]], when he was killed by the [[Auton]]s, who chopped him up into little pieces as he left the house. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Rose (novelisation)|Rose]]'')

== Behind the scenes ==
=== Fate ===
A non-narrative article written by [[Russell T Davies]] in the ''[[Doctor Who Annual 2006]]'' gave further insight into Stone's character. According to this source, he was a twenty-year-old musician, playing guitar in local band ''No Hot Ashes''. After falling for Jimmy, Rose dumped [[Mickey Smith|Mickey]], left school, moved out of her home and lived with him in a bedsit. Their relationship ended in tears five months later and Rose was left £800 in debt, while Jimmy was in a camper van to Amsterdam with a woman called Noosh. He later ended up in prison, serving eighteen months, and then started to work as a door-to-door salesman, selling brushes.
Rose later mentioned Jimmy Stones when discussing with Mickey (who was [[Mickey Smith (Auton)|an Auton duplicate]]), mentioning that it was his fault she didn't do her A levels. She also seemed to know that Stones had ended up in a bad place. ([[TV]]: ''[[Rose (TV story)|Rose]]'')
 
According to one account, Jimmy would serve [[18 (number)|eighteen]] [[month]]s in [[prison]], and when he got out,<ref>Provided that he served his full sentence, he would've been let out in around [[February]] [[2006]], if the sentence started when Rose got her job at Henrik's in around [[August]] [[2004]].</ref> all he could do was sell [[brush]]es from door to door. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Meet Rose (short story)|Meet Rose]]'')


Nevertheless, this same article includes obvious contradictions with the television series about [[Rose Tyler#Age|Rose's age]], so its accuracy is dubious. Furthermore, none of its information has ever surfaced in an actual story in any medium.
According to a second account, Jimmy was robbing his current [[girlfriend]], [[Abena]], during the [[2005]] [[Operation Mannequin|Auton invasion]], when he was killed by the [[Auton]]s, who chopped him up into little pieces as he left the house. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Rose (novelisation)|Rose]]'')


Still, the article offers evidence that [[Billie Piper]] pronounced this character's name incorrectly in ''Rose''. She seems to clearly say ''Stones'' in the episode, but both the broadcast and [[series 1 (Doctor Who)|series 1]] DVD subtitles have consistently maintained ''Stone's''. Since this ''Annual'' article was written by RTD, author of ''[[Rose (TV story)|Rose]]'', it can be assumed that RTD ''intended'' ''Stone'', but for some reason, Piper mistakenly pronounced it as a plural. The [[Rose (novelisation)|novelisation]], also written by RTD, confirmed that his surname is Stone.
== Behind the scenes ==
{{section stub|Information from ''[[The Shooting Scripts]]'' ought to be added.}}
Oddly, [[Billie Piper]] seemed to mispronounce Jimmy's surname in [[TV]]: ''[[Rose (TV story)|Rose]]'' incorrectly. Piper clearly says ''Stones'' in dialogue, however the broadcast and [[series 1 (Doctor Who)|series 1]] DVD subtitles have consistently maintained ''Stone's'', and both [[PROSE]]: ''[[Meet Rose (short story)|Meet Rose]]'' and ''[[Rose (novelisation)|Rose]]'' have shown Jimmy's surname to be ''Stone''. From this, is seems that RTD intended ''Stone'', and the usage of ''Stones'' was an accident.
