However, she had been featured in the short story ''[[Hoax This! (short story)|Hoax This!]]'', where onscreen text bore "Mal Loup", approximate [[French]] for [[Bad Wolf meme|Bad Wolf]]. It wasn't clear if this was na attempt to name the newsreader or merely an in-universe manifestation of the Bad Wolf meme, as explored in ''Turn Left'', in which the word appears everywhere in many forms. It was later revealed by Russell T Davies that she was offically ''unnamed'' until series 2, when he finally decided to name the recurring character Trinity Wells.{{fact}} | ||
