HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BILLIE PIPER (September 22, 1982)

[doctorrosesource]

Peter Alan Tyler. My dad. The most wonderful man in the world. 

[joegraham1881]

I do often wonder what the Tyler's neighbours thought after the Doctor made an entrance into Rose's life. Like, Rose's disappears for a whole year. Jackie blames the boyfriend. Rose then turns up, and they hear from Jackie that Rose had been travelling with some kind of Doctor!

Not to mention, he looked old enough to be her dad! They see him around for a while now and then, when Rose comes to see Jackie. But suddenly, he disappears! And now Rose is off travelling with a younger man, who also seems to be a Doctor!

Poor Mickey! Dropped by his girlfriend for two different blokes! And then of course, one day Mickey disappears as well! Rumour has it he had been at that school which blew up, but never came home! Then came the ghosts, and then Rose is back with her second Doctor, holding hands and giggling. They seem totally surprised by the turn of events. Like, where on Earth could they have been travelling that didn't have any Ghosts?

By the end of the day, all of the Tylers are missing.

Only a man in an army coat comes by once to knock on the flat door. But there's no answer, and he leaves looking crestfallen. And now the Powell Estate feels less joyful. The Tyler's had been a fixture for over two decades. They'd comforted Jackie when her poor husband had died in that tragic accident. They'd watched little Rose grow without her father, but incredibly close to her mother.

They watched a heartbroken Jackie as she searched for a whole year for her only child. And watched with happy surprise as they reunited unexpectedly.

But now they were all gone. Even Mickey Smith, the happy go lucky kid who'd always had a soft spot for Rose. All they knew for sure, was that that family fell into trouble the moment Rose met that first Doctor. And it had only gotten worse from there.

Couple of years pass, and they hear rumours that Mickey Smith has suddenly reappeared. Only he doesn't return to the estate, and marries a woman named Martha apparently.

They don't blame him for not returning to the Estate.

Too many ghosts.

Rose, Tentoo, Jackie, Parallel Pete and Tony Tyler, because everywhere the Doctor landed was turned into dust, but the Doctor only reversed it with Sutekh in his own universe

FAVOURITE DOCTOR WHO EPISODES

Father's Day Directed by Joe Ahearne Written by Paul Cornell

The Doctor running into Pete from a parallel world: I suddenly have a REALLY great idea to get in the good graces of my Mother in Law

[badxwolf]

Thinking about how “a promise to fix the cat flap had been one of the last things Rose’s father had said on the day he died” and “Jackie left it undone, like she was still waiting for him to come home”… and if the cat flap had been nailed down the plastic hand would’ve never come into the flat and Rose and the Doctor wouldn’t have met again. So in a way Pete helped Rose to find her soulmate and become the person she always wished she could be.
