Question about Romana in Dr Who - possible theory for S3
Romana was a time lord (or lady) from Gallifrey wasnt she -- so what happened to her?
Could she come back into it (Mary Tamm or Lalla Ward)? like SJS did? Maybe thats what Boe meant when he said he's not alone? |

ALSO - when they changed the cast from Mary Tamm to Lalla Ward - I seem to remember her regenerating about 4 times before settling on the Lalla Ward persona (as if she was trying on clothes)...? Surely, if she only has 13 lives, would she have been so blasé about regenerating? and also, doesnt re-generation knock the stuffing out of the doc everytime he does it?? your thoughts please.

Tennant was able to replicate his cut off hand, because there is a certain amount of time after regnerating for a timelord to alter things. I guess that's what happened with Romana

Also, as with Freema, Lalla was also playing a different character the season/story before |

it was sort of explained in the 70's 80's that female time lords or time ladies can change at will and choose what to look like

The last we saw Romana on screen she stayed behind in E-Space. This was a separate universe from the normal universe. There is some suggestion from some Dr Who spin off novels that she came back and was the President of The Time Lords during the Time War. But of course that does not necessarily mean that she is dead.
She and some other Time Lords could always be trapped in other alternate realities in the same way that The Doctor is trapped in the reality that we see him in. |
