Ethel Halliday

Ethel Halliday was an actress cast as Cordelia in Charles Virgil McLean's 1906 production of King Lear in San Francisco, something that she did not call her mother to tell.

After a rehearsal the day before the show was to open, Ethel witnessed Mr McLean being tortured by Aldo Deluca and was chased by Tony. She was saved by Pepé Gonzalez and joined the Eighth Doctor in searching for Mr McLean at the Rubicon once he gained the Gift, knocking him out with a book.

Once the Gift was dealt with, Ethel was left to look after Mr McLean, although Liv Chenka and Helen Sinclair did not think that she looked happy about it. (AUDIO: The Gift)
