Doctor Who enthusiasts are in a frenzy following Billie Piper's casting in Netflix's Wednesday, as her new character bears an uncanny resemblance to her beloved portrayal of Rose
Tyler. The 42-year-old actress was famed for playing The Doctor's companion Rose mainly during 2005 and 2006 and has since returned for multiple cameos in the BBC sci-fi staple. Widely
considered to be a fan-favourite character, Rose played a pivotal role in the reboot with Christopher Eccleston and marked the beginning of David Tennant's term as the 10th Doctor. And
Billie's latest casting has led to speculation among fans that she's paying homage to her former character. In the highly anticipated second season of The Addams Family adaptation
Wednesday, Billie will play Capri, the enigmatic new head of music at Nevermore Academy. While details of her role are tightly guarded until the series premiere in August, we do know what
sort of mythical creature Capri will be - a werewolf. A TikTok user named Dhean highlighted this peculiar connection between werewolves and Rose Tyler's time on Doctor Who, sparking
discussions and beliefs amongst fans that the parallel must be intentional. Dhean commented on the intriguing link: "You know the show is set in a world full of mythical creatures?
She's playing a werewolf. She could be a villain. A bad wolf. Like Rose in Doctor Who!" Fans of Doctor Who will recall the mysterious Bad Wolf storyline that featured during Billie
Piper's tenure as Rose Tyler throughout the 2005 revival series. This storyline culminated in her transformation into the Bad Wolf entity after gazing into the TARDIS's Time
Vortex. The immense power she absorbed was life-threatening, leading Christopher Eccleston's Doctor to absorb it himself, causing damage so severe that it triggered his regeneration
into David Tennant's iteration of the character. Viewers of Dhean's video were astounded by the connection between Billie's roles. They expressed hopes that her character in
the upcoming season of Wednesday would receive a nod to her Doctor Who legacy with a 'Bad Wolf' reference. One fan commented: "If they don't reference it by calling her a
'bad wolf', I'm going to be disappointed." Another shared their excitement: "My geeky little heart loves this!". Billie Piper is set to join an impressive
lineup of stars in the second season of Wednesday, including Jenna Ortega returning as Wednesday Addams, and newcomers Steve Buscemi, Thandiwe Newton, Joanna Lumley, Christopher Lloyd, and
Lady Gaga. WEDNESDAY RETURNS FOR ITS SECOND SEASON ON NETFLIX ON AUGUST 6.
