I'm probably not up to speed on things, but why do you think she's going to die - and why would Big Finish kill off any character unnecessarily? Good question. Is there an answer? There is... everyone dies!

Big Finish is somewhat infamous for sending their original characters through hell. See Evelyn, Lucie, Charley, Hex, and Oliver. I'd be shocked if Constance and Flip got out of the TARDIS emotionally or physically unscathed.

Up til now, I've seen no indication that Flip might die. I'm doubtful she'll return to Jared in a normal fashion (this is Doctor Who after all), but nothing malevolent. Of course, the next three Main Range titles could change that. Ultimately, I just want a solid conclusion for Flip and Constance, and while that certainly doesn't mean they have to die, if one or both of them dying fits their character arc, the ongoing themes, and the story, then it shouldn't be shied away from or dismissed immediately. I'd rather a character died than become boring or one-note or inconsequential. Not that that's happened to Flip, by any means - I'm hopeful the current Sixth Doctor team will stick around for a while yet.

I definitely reckon Flip is pregnant though. I think this'll be the final phase of her emotional growth into an adult.

I can kind of see Flip as a mother. It's hinted at in Quicksilver I think. {Spoiler for Quicksilver} In a scene where Constance tells a Flip that she can't be her grandmother, referring to the fact that she is infertile and cannot have children, Flip responds by saying she didn't drink at her wedding reception. I could be looking into it too much but from the context of the conversation it seemed to be hinting at Flip being pregnant.

I really need to catch up on that arc when I've got the money. So many good stories, so little pocket change...

I'm trying to catch up with the current run of Sixth Doctor stories, sort of everything from Flip's introduction onwards. I've managed to get hold of all the Flip audios but I've only got Constance's first, latest and Last Adventure stories. I'm also keen to get the rest of the Peri Trilogy from 2014 as I've only got Masters of Earth.

The Widow's Assassin reminded me how much I really liked Sixie and Peri and Siobhan Redmond's absolutely chilling as the Rani. A very worthy successor to Kate O'Mara's interpretation of the character.

Nev Fountain is a very outside the police box writer while Justin Richards is reliably traditional.

First of all using caps is not a bad idea BUT to use it in the whole topic makes the whole useless and brass off a lot of folks and as for being dyslexia try using the free version of Grammarly I'm dyslexia and it great for me

My sister has dyslexia and it's helped a great deal with structuring her thoughts. I don't have dyslexia myself -- I think I've probably got dyscalculia if anything, me and numbers are rubbish together -- but I still use Grammarly for clarity.

I could be looking into it too much but from the context of the conversation it seemed to be hinting at Flip being pregnant. I saw Lisa Greenwood at a con this weekend and asked her about this, citing the evidence you gave in the spoiler block. She said that the writers didn't tell her anything, but that didn't necessarily mean anything, as they know she can't keep a secret and she wouldn't be able to tell us if she did know. She said she liked the idea and conjured up the visual of Flip running from a Dalek whilst cradling a newborn. And I've never been a big fan of Flip, but Lisa was just so lovely and charming in person that I may have to change my tune.

I didn't even question it when she said that, I just went "Oh, she's pregnant. Interesting." but it hasn't come up again as far as I know, although I have yet to listen to Static. It might explain her and Jared's very rushed wedding - she's only 19!

Pregnant Flip would be interesting, especially Sixie's reaction. Flip should get a somewhat happy ending, no BF original companion ever has except Hex, whose ending was an annoying copout and that can be frustrating. Like Evelyn got a happy ending in the sense she ended up with Rossiter, but her friendship with the Doctor was only just healing from Cassie's death and he was so vexed with her leaving he had a hissy fit. Just when we think she's happy again, Boom! she ends up on Pelachan in the distant past with Hex. With Flip having a baby (and after the events of Static, I can't imagine things are A-Ok between the three time travellers) the Doctor could have a serious falling out with her because of his own immaturity knowing the way Sixie is.

Lisa Greenwood was a delight at the convention this past weekend. There were thoughts about her uniting with another Doctor. Am idea did hit me, which I suggested to her in the hallway - 10 years after she is reunited with her husband - on their 10th anniversary, the 7th Doctor shows up at their celebration.

If they bring back Fitz, then all the horrible things can happen to him, which was generally his function back in the day, and everybody else can have nice happy endings!
