Rose was there at the beginning every bit as much as Russell T Davies etc etc
Rose is a perfect ambassador for the reboot.
She is every bit as perfect an inclusion in the 50th as Christopher Eccleston would be.

The Day of the Doctor, to me, will only be her second return. And it's one that I'm happy with, not even specifically as a fan of the character.
Of course my favourite line-up would have been Eleven, Clara, Ten, Donna, Nine and Rose... but we can't have it all I suppose
Technically she's only been brought back once, she was only on-screen in TEOT for a matter of seconds and it wasn't really that big a deal (at least not any more so than any of the other companion's cameos in that episode).
Nevertheless I agree that she has overshadowed other companions. I do hope the show will move on from her for good after the 50th. There are a myriad of companions I would rather see make a comeback in Who.
Jon Pertwee's debut as the Third Doctor in Spearhead from Space also began with him already regenerated and without a companion (as with Christopher Eccleston in e1 "Rose")
I just hope the writing in Day of the Doctor will do Rose justice and remind even her haters that she CAN be an awesome character... and from the trailer it looks like it just might.
Even when we got rid of her she still her shadow still hung over Martha and Donna, because the doctor was pining for her or she was returning.
Because she wants to
Because she wants to!
Why does she deserve to be in? Because she was the companion when the series came back? Her story finished. Unless they bring her back just to kill her off then no point in her coming back.
Really? I didn't know Billie Piper was in "An Unearthly Child" and RTD certainly kept his involvement in that episode to himself
Don't take that one, it's got a wonky wheel:D( Does The Tardis have wheels?)
:D:D
RTD specifically created Rose to be the 'most important companion', he said so himself. To do this with the first companion back made Rose untouchable to a new generation of Who fans. No matter what any companion has done since, a large percentage of new Who fans have always wanted Rose back.
Rose was my companion, so she always has a place in the show for me.
Very fair point. Much preferred Rose with 9, but have found some comments on the interweb about the character way OTT. I agree with those who've said it was the references in Series 3 that grated rather than her appearances in the show per se.
Thought her cameo at the end of 'Partners in Crime' worked well, as did her cameo in TEOT (despite my reservations about that story as a whole.) I'm fine with her being in the 50th and it'll be interesting to see how things play out. My favourite by far in C21 'Who' was Donna, but really disliked how she was handled in 'End...' so happy to just remember her from series 4.
