In [[September]] [[2009]], ([[TV]]: ''[[Children of Earth: Day One (TV story)|Children of Earth: Day One]]'') Wells reported on the [[possession]] of Earth's [[children]], beginning with the spoken message "we are coming".

* Russell T Davies revealed in ''[[Doctor Who Confidential]]'' that he had originally planned for the Doctor to meet Trinity Wells in ''[[The End of Time (TV story)|The End of Time]]'', but the scene was cut. In ''[[Doctor Who: The Writer's Tale]]'', a full script for the scene can be read (in which Trinity reports on the destruction of [[Broadfell Prison]] and gives the Doctor information on [[Joshua Naismith]]). The reason for the scene being cut, as given in the book, is that Davies considered it to be "indulgent, and also shit." | * Russell T Davies revealed in ''[[Doctor Who Confidential]]'' that he had originally planned for the Doctor to meet Trinity Wells in ''[[The End of Time (TV story)|The End of Time]]'', but the scene was cut.
