Biography[]

In the 1980s, Odessa met Jackie Tyler, Sarah, Suzie and Bev and every Wednesday night, they all went out for wine and chips and named themselves the "Wednesday Girls". At some point she met and married Jackson Smith and around 1983, had a son, Mickey, by him. (PROSE: Rose) Jackie would later recall that Odessa had tightly held her hand throughout childbirth. (AUDIO: The Last Party on Earth) Odessa took Mickey to see Jackie's newborn baby, Rose Tyler, on the day that she was born circa 1986.

As her relationship with Jackson deteriorated, Odessa relied on the "Wednesday Girls" to cheer her up for the one night of laughter of the week; other nights were darker. Jackie would later say that Odessa "could never really cope with money, with men, or anything really" (PROSE: Rose) and Rose said that she "just couldn't cope". After Jackson "wandered off", (TV: Rise of the Cybermen) marrying Josette and moving to Spain, (AUDIO: The Last Party on Earth) Mickey was raised by Jackson's mother. (TV: Rise of the Cybermen)

According to one account, around 1989 when Mickey was five, Odessa quietly went to her bedroom and committed suicide. (PROSE: Rose) According to another, she was still alive in 2005 and Rose told the Ninth Doctor that she would have to call her after believing that Mickey was dead. (TV: Rose)
