I don't see what all the fuss is about, I think she is still a babe. 
Don't want to be rude, but Rose...

I only noticed a difference in her teeth which I think must be veneers because they just don't quite fit in her mouth anymore. I noticed it when she returned in the last season as well, it's kinda strange.
I do like though that he visited her in the past and didn't cross over the uncrossable void yet again.

As much as I liked the way this scene was done, it was kind of distracting to see how odd Billie looks now, and how enormously different from the way she was in series 1. I just couldn't find her convincing as her younger self, and that spoilt the scene for me. It was only 4/5 years ago after all, and most actresses would easily be able to pass convincingly for 5 years younger if the part demanded it.
But Billie has changed so much, (the teeth, losing masses of weight etc), she just looks like a different person now. It's hard to believe she's only 5 years older than the girl who looked so striking, fresh-faced and pretty in series 1, especially in Dalek and TEOTW.
Having said that, I'm very glad they did that scene the way they did. It was a nice idea to have Rose's "goodbye meeting" in the pre-Doctor past, before she fell in love with him. Much better than opening the can of worms that would have ensued if the present-day Rose had met the Doctor again. I guess RTD decided the Doctor clone was best left alone, too.

A rare still of Piper from a deleted scene in tonight’s ep.

She has changed a lot, I guess that she just has one of those faces which alter with age. Also I think that her weight makes a great deal of difference to how she looks, and she's much slimmer now than she was a few years ago.

I couldn't agree more. I was kind of dreading Roses latest re-appearance, expecting the schmaltz and romantic cliches to be ladled on thickly. However, in the end Donna and even Sarah Janes scenes had the emotion and by contrast I think I that our last glimpse of Rose was handled rather well.

There must be some mistake - that is Billy from about 5 years ago.

Babe is a pig...she is a monkey-horse dammit!!!
I forgot the kids are off school at the moment. Explains a lot.
I thought it was one of the more poignant scenes of the whole thing. The fact he had to go and see her before she met him because he could never see her again was very sad, but it showed the best of Rose and the Doctor.
I liked the way she was looking - it was spot on I thought. She looked like she would have looked before she met the doctor. A chav. But a young nice one

*sings my lovely horse*
It was a nice little scene, but BP has definitely had some work done at some time before Turn Left. Her mouth is different. A shame, but there ya go.
It was a treat to see her again. I'd forgotten how good an actor she is.
