Behind the scenes
Connie Thomas was originally voiced by Millie Noble in the minisode: Companion Swap. However due to Millie's busy schedule, the character was then voiced by YouTuber, Emily Moran.

Connie Thomas was one of Matthew Lee's favourite companions he had ever created.

Series 2 intended to have Connie Thomas as the full time companion, however Matthew felt like her story was finished, there was nothing left to tell about her story, and he didn't want to give Emily too much time work. So he decided to have Series 2 start off as her departure.

'Twilight of the Time Lord' originally intended to have Connie die but Matthew had grown attached to the character, and did not want to kill her off.
