Jenny (The Doctor's Daughter): Difference between revisions

[[Steven Moffat]] told Russell T Davies that killing Jenny at the end of the episode was "the ''[[Star Trek (franchise)|Star Trek]]'' thing to do". This prompted Davies to change the episode so she would be brought back to life.<ref>[https://www.radiotimes.com/tv/sci-fi/doctor-who-daughter-jenny-dead-georgia-tennant-reaction/ Georgia Tennant was quite annoyed when her Doctor Who character was killed off-screen]</ref> Ironically, Jenny's resurrection by the Source closely parallels [[Spock]]'s resurrection by the Genesis matrix in {{Wi|Star Trek III: The Search for Spock}}.

''The Sun'', a UK tabloid newspaper, speculated that Georgia Moffett would appear as Jenny in one of the 2009 specials; she did not make an appearance. Jenny's resurrection led to rumours that Georgia Moffett was in the running to return as a companion for the [[Eleventh Doctor]].{{Fact}} Ultimately, [[Karen Gillan]] was cast in this role as [[Amy Pond]]. No further television appearances of the character have been announced. Moffett did return to the franchise in other roles, providing the voice of an unrelated character named [[Cassie Rice]] in the animated serial ''[[Dreamland (TV story)|Dreamland]]'', and continuing to do voice work for [[Big Finish Productions]] in 2010.

In August 2013, Steven Moffat said "the door is open" for Jenny to return to the series.<ref name="Potential to Return">{{cite web |url=http://www.digitalspy.com/british-tv/s7/doctor-who/news/a508925/doctor-whos-steven-moffat-acknowledges-regeneration-limit.html |title='Doctor Who's Steven Moffat acknowledges regeneration limit |date of source=21 August 2013 |website name=Radio Times |publisher=Radio Times |accessdate=21 August 2013}}</ref> Moffett told ''Doctor Who Magazine'' in 2015 that she was desperate to return and would be happy to play even a character with a single line, but that it was not likely, as her character had only ever been conceived as a one-off. Additionally, [[Russell T Davies]] jokingly told Steven Moffat that Jenny crashed into a moon.<ref>http://www.radiotimes.com/news/2015-11-14/steven-moffat-finally-reveals-the-fate-of-the-doctors-daughter---sort-of</ref> Her solo series, ''[[Jenny: The Doctor's Daughter (audio anthology)|Jenny: The Doctor's Daughter]], ''begins with her crashing into a moon but surviving.  

The ''[[Prisoners of Time]]'' comic was Jenny's first appearance, not including the archival footage, since her appearance in ''The Doctor's Daughter''. Despite being seen with the captured in ''[[The Choice (comic story)|The Choice]]'', she was absent after the companions were released in the following issue, ''[[Endgame (POT comic story)|Endgame]]''. Her appearance in [[COMIC]]: ''[[The Lost Dimension (comic story)|The Lost Dimension]]'' was her first major appearance since her inception. In 2018, she returned for her own Big Finish audio series: ''[[Jenny: The Doctor's Daughter (audio series)|Jenny: The Doctor's Daughter]]''.
