Grace Holloway is the deuteragonist of the 1996 Doctor Who TV Movie and a companion to the Eighth Doctor.

She was portrayed by Daphne Ashbrook.

Biography[]

Grace Holloway was a surgeon working in San Francisco in late 1999. She was attending the opera with her boyfriend Brian when she was called in to treat the Seventh Doctor, who had been shot. Disregarding x-rays that indicated he had two hearts as double exposures, she carried out exploratory surgery that caused him to "die" on the table and, unknown to her at the time, triggered his regeneration. When his body disappeared, the hospital administrator, Doctor Swift, tried to cover up the incident, prompting Grace to resign in disgust.

On leaving the hospital, Grace was accosted by the new Eighth Doctor, who was suffering from amnesia but vaguely remembered her. On seeing he still had the probe from the operation in him, she began to grasp what was going on and took him home. However, when his memory returned and he began talking about the Master opening the Eye of Harmony in his TARDIS to try and steal his body and the whole world being in danger of being pulled inside out, Grace dismissed him as insane and summoned an ambulance to take him back to hospital. However, the ambulance that turned up was driven by the Master (who had possessed the body of a paramedic, Bruce) and his sidekick Chang Lee. When the Master sprayed her with goo and was shown to have serpent-like eyes, Grace realised something was wrong and agreed to help the Doctor.

The pair stole the beryllium chip from an atomic clock and returned to the TARDIS to try and jump start it and negate the effects of the Eye of Harmony being open. However, Grace's earlier encounter allowed the Master to possess her and she helped him chain the Doctor up to use the power of the Eye to possess his body. After killing Chang Lee when he tried to rebel, the Master was forced to free Grace to open the Eye. The Doctor ordered Grace to the control room where she managed to divert power from the Eye, sending the TARDIS into a temporal orbit and disrupting the transfer between the Doctor and the Master. Enraged, the Master threw her from a balcony, apparently killing her, but after the Master was defeated, both Grace and Chang Lee were revived by energy from the eye. The Doctor landed back on Earth in the early hours of 2000. She and the Doctor both turned down an offer to stay with the other and kissed goodbye.

The Doctor Who Magazine comic strip "The Fallen" saw Grace reunited with the Doctor in 2001. It was revealed that, acting on the Doctor's hints that she was going to do something great, she had tried to find a way to help humans regenerate using a sample of the Master and accepted a job as the assistant of a scientist, Donald Stark. However, the sample was not Time Lord DNA as she assumed but part of the morphant the Master had possessed and resulted in Stark changing into a giant jellyfish-like creature. Grace helped the Doctor and his friend Izzy Sinclair to defeat him.
