I've just posted an article on The Wizard of Duke Street highlighting the decision for Billie Piper to return as Rose in Doctor Who. I've kept my commentary mild enough over there, but I want to get some sensible opinions here before the txt kiddies get loose in the comments.
Is it just me or is this an utterly pathetic move on the part of the casting and scripting people? I can't lay it solely on RTD, but I suspect a great deal of his involvement. There has not been one single notable event so far in the new Who, except the switch from Nine to Ten, that he hasn't managed to weaken by going over the same events and the same plots again. And I suspect that if he could get Christopher Eccleston to sign up again, we'd see the first (temporary, of course) reverse regeneration in the Whoniverse.
It's turning into a cross between a soap opera and a 90s Marvel comic...

But...
The standard of writing on the show is so erratic, that quite frankly after watching season 3, I think they need a bit of Billie Piper.
To be honest he's a timelord in love. What lengths will he go to to meet Rose again? It's a natural story. He might just go and visit her in the past or something equally dubious. If anything it can fuel the existing emotional curve...
We're just going to have to wait and see...
