(Anonymous) 2010-01-17 04:30 am (UTC)(link)I might agree that RTD has overused "missing parent/parents" as a character trait for several of his protagonists, but I'm not sure it represents anything more than his tendency to overuse anything that worked well the first time! Besides, I think RTD was careful to show the love and strength of these "nontraditional" families. Rose and Jackie, Mickey and his gran (but definitely not his mum, you're right on that,) both had a lot of love, affection and trust. Donna's father was barely mentioned, but she did have a strong and stable father-figure in Wilf. Martha's family was a big, arguing mess of people that still adored one another, which I found so true to life. While these companions' homes were not of the "two happily married parents" variety, I would hesitate to call them broken.

Red flags don't always mean "danger". They mean "be aware". As in, "look, this is RTD's trend."
And I have no problem with RTD's families. I simply think it's odd that ALL of the companions he has written for come from households that did not have two parents. Be it a mother and father or a mother and mother or a father and father. It's always one parent is missing and usually made up by a different relative, non-relative or no one at all.
Why is that?
