Biography
After meeting the Ninth Doctor, he told her that she was "sweet" and asked her to join him on his travels. Lynda agreed and they set out to save Rose Tyler from her "death" during The Weakest Link. (TV: Bad Wolf) Lynda was horrified when Rose was seemingly disintegrated.

Soon afterwards, Lynda met Captain Jack Harkness. In the battle against the massive Dalek invasion, she acted as a coordinator by using the sensors to track Dalek movement. This ended when the Daleks located her. She reported to the Doctor, and he assured her that that side of the station was reinforced against meteors. The Daleks began to cut through the door with a torch as Lynda watched. Three Daleks rose outside the observation window. One of the Daleks then shot the window, shattering it, and presumably killing Lynda. (TV: The Parting of the Ways)
