<blockquote><font class="small">In reply to:</font><hr /><p>I have to agree with JonClarke a few posts above. In my early teens I was quite besotted with the second Romana (Lalla Ward). She was married to Tom Baker for sixteen months and is now married to Richard Dawkins (famous author of "The Selfish Gene").<p><hr /></p></p></blockquote><br /><br />I have a copy of Tom Baker's autobiography, and he talks about that, of course. It was his second marriage, and her first (if memory serves). Both had essentially fallen in love with the other one's screen persona, not with a real person. He was in love with Romana, she was in love with the Doctor. So the relationship was essentially doomed after they both left the series, and those characters ceased to exist.<br /><br />Falling in love with a costar's character seems to be an occupational hazard for actors, unfortunately. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p> </p><p><font color="#666699"><em>"People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect, but actually from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint it's more like a big ball of wibbly wobbly . . . timey wimey . . . stuff."</em> -- The Tenth Doctor, "Blink"</font></p> </div>
