The first Doctor (William Hartnell) had a granddaughter who travelled with him - but I don't know what became of her.

The first Doctor (William Hartnell) had a granddaughter who travelled with him - but I don't know what became of her.
The Doctor left her behind in post-Dalek London, in 2168 with David Campbell ("Dalek Invasion Of Earth"). The next time he sees her is in the 20th Anniversary story "The Five Doctors", and apparently around 30 years has gone by in her time frame. A lot of stuff that Terrance Dicks wrote in that story's original script got cut, including an intended reference to the fact that Susan had children named after Ian and Barbara, and an apology from the 5th Doctor for never having come to visit her like he promised.
A couple of the novels have featured her, and they claim that her children aren't actually hers and David's, but rather are adopted war orphans. One book also has her encountering the Master sometime after David's death (she'd been pretending to look old to match his aging process) and ultimately stealing his TARDIS to begin travelling like her grandfather now that she has no reason to stay on Earth.
The novels aren't generally considered canonical, to you can take their storyline for what it's worth.

I liked it. But I wonder what was the virus thingey? I liked how this affected the Doc. It really shook him up. Poor guy. One day, we may see the Doctor on Dr. Phil.

It was alright...the whole mob mentality thing definitely got on my nerves really really fast and I nearly fast-forwarded through the episode.
But, I saw the flash of Rose. And the doctor's face at the end when Donna hugged him was just so sad.

Just a few little points. Billie Piper's voice sounded all wrong. And was it Torchwood who fixed the evil gas problem? Poor Sarah Jane and the kiddos.
Interesting look that Rose gave Donna when Donna asked if she and Doctor were....
ETA: Rose's reaction when Donna said that this world would blink out of existence to be replaced by a better world where she was still alive.... Does Donna die permanently? It seems weird that Rose would be so somber if Donna simply had to die in one reality in order to replace it with a better one. Of course, stepping in front of a truck is never easy (not that I would know).

Ok, ok, I didn't expect you to answer me seriously about Donna (though this show does blow through companions pretty fast, doesn't it).
But it was Torchwood who saved the world from the ATMOS gas? It seemed like all the other companions died in some way (Sarah Jane, Martha), but Jack and his crew were still out there trying to save the world, yes?
I read somewhere else that Billie Piper had trouble getting Rose's voice back, that's why she sounded so weird.

I think you're being a bit silly, agapetos. I was only talking about the events that happened in the episode I watched. And sure, you could say that everything reverted back the moment Donna made her choice.
Alright then, if you Brits don't want to talk about the episode, I'll wait a few more weeks till I can discuss the whole arch with you.

I'm honestly not sure what you want me to say about your questions. You want to know who saved the world and who died and who survived. How can we respond without giving spoilers?
I think we'll be really happy to talk about the episode but we don't want to spoil things for you or anyone else by talking about the next episode.

She was still annoyingly lispy so it would appear she did okay.
I liked the episode - actually first time I rather liked Donna in one - and it certainly set the stage for the first part of the season finale this week.
