Rose Marion Tyler was the first known companion of the ninth incarnation of the Doctor, and also the first companion of the tenth incarnation. She was sealed off in a parallel world, before returning to her own, only to ultimately be returned to the parallel world by the Doctor, along with another version of himself. She shared a close romantic relationship with both the Ninth and Tenth Doctors, eventually living out the rest of her life in the parallel universe with the duplicate Tenth Doctor. Rose was a sweet, gentle and sympathetic young woman, quick to adapt despite being thrown into strange events. She had her mother's acerbic wit and was not hesitant to use it. She fell easily into the role of the Doctor's latest companion and was brave facing various alien threats. She cared deeply about the Doctor, although she originally denied any sexual or romantic feelings towards him despite indications to the contrary. In what seemed their final meeting on the beach, she told the Doctor that she loved him; he began to reply, but only got out the words "Rose Tyler" before he was cut off. However, besides Jack Harkness and River Song , she was the only recent companion of the Doctor's willing to kill the Doctor's enemies. Others, such as Martha Jones and Donna Noble were much more reluctant and Donna only killed once when it was the only way to save Agatha Christie. Rose was willing to call the Doctor out when he was wrong. When the Doctor brushed aside the danger that Jackie was in when faced with a Slitheen, Rose reminded him the woman he was discussing was her mother. She was horrified the Doctor would allow the Gelth to use human corpses as a vessel for their consciousness. The Doctor's failure to listen to Rose's human plea of respect for their dead led to at least two deaths when the Gelth proved to be malicious. Rose had a jealous streak when it came to the Doctor. She and the Doctor's former companion, Sarah Jane Smith, traded barbs over who was the "best companion" but they became good friends afterwards, and happily greeted each other at their reunion on the Crucible. Rose was willing to sacrifice herself for the Doctor or the common good. When faced with the choice of dying or saving the world, Rose instructed the Doctor to do what he had to do to save everyone else. This was a common theme in Rose's story; despite the risk of plunging into the Void and an eternity of nothingness, she let go of a magnetic hold to set a lever right and seal the Cybermen and Daleks away from her world. It was only the sudden appearance of her father from the parallel world that saved her from that fate, but ultimately led to her separation from the Doctor.

Now and then, every once in a very long while, every day in a million days, when the wind stands fair and The Doctor comes to call, everybody lives.

I say all the time that I am not a huge fan of Rose, but I think this is my favourite story with her. In fact she was pretty great from here to the end of the first series. She had a great chemistry with Jack and it really came off on screen. It's sort of a shame we didn't get to see more of it, really.

Everytime I think of Rose in this story I am just reminded of the awful Union Jack shirt she was wearing. That should be a blooper all of it's own

It was pretty horrendous, wasn't it? But I think that was the point

There was a comment in the story about it being awful so I'm guessing it was deliberate.
I like Rose and she was great here. I really expected based on their flirting in this story that we would see more of a Rose/Jack thing going on, but I guess that wasn't meant to be. It definately would have been interesting though.

That was my thought too. The flirting made it seem like it could lead to more. Though saying that, Rose tends to flirt with most of the men she speaks to so probably meant nothing.

This was the first indication for me that there may be something more to her relationship with the Doctor, or at least leading somewhere, though mainly on his part. He seemed quite jealous of her attraction to Jack, which at the time was a bit odd considering how he had been before. These days he is pretty free with his affection.

Oh my god Karen, you can't just ask someone why they're white!
