Billie Piper is getting back in the spotlight and she might even be stepping back in the TARDIS. The Secret Diary of a Call Girl actress is currently starring in the new Showtime series Penny Dreadful. She also recently opened up about reprising her role as Rose in a possible Dr. Who spin-off.
During a recent Awesome.con panel Billie Piper explained why she didn’t play Rose in the recent Doctor Who special as Doctor Who TV reports:
“I’ve heard a lot of that, [fans saying] ‘Why couldn’t you just be Rose and actually see [the Tenth Doctor] and be with him? I think to come back and do something slightly different was welcome for me because I’d come back so many times that even though I loved Rose I thought it probably needed a bit of a shift. And that’s what Steven Moffat wanted, he brought something very different. It’s good to watch it and wish that they could somehow connect in the way they used to instead of being totally satisfied. I really enjoyed playing it because I could be a bit mad and a bit strange.”
She went on to add that she was a little confused by the episode:
“It was quite a confusing episode I thought. When I read the script I was like ‘what?!’ I got it in the end with the help of David though.”
She also expressed an interest in reprising her role for a possible Rose spin-off, adding:
That would be interesting… I’d be game!”
However, Piper might have her hands full. The actress in currently starring in Showtime’s new series Penny Dreadful.
