Billie Piper Set To Return To Doctor Who

Former assistants return for Tennant's final episode.

Billie Piper's Rose Tyler has been a fan favorite since she appeared.  When she had to leave and got stuck in a parallel universe.  It seems she will be returning.  The Sun reported today that Rose along with Donna Noble (Catherine Tate) and Martha Jones (Freema Agyeman) will be joining the Doctor once again to take on the Master in David Tennant's final episode.  The episode will feature the regeneration of the Doctor into new actor, Matt Smith.

An insider told the Sun:
“This will be the most exciting episode Doctor Who have ever done. We really wanted to get all the companions back on board as a fitting send-off to David.

“And of all the enemies for him to face in his final episode it makes sense for The Master to be the main one. Getting Billie to agree is a real coup, but she loved working on the show so much it didn’t take much convincing.”

What the future will hold for Piper's character will remain to be seen.
