Jackie Tyler
Encyclopedia
In "Rise of the Cybermen" and "The Age of Steel" Coduri plays a parallel Earth
version of Jackie. In this universe, she is still married to Pete, but they have no children, although she has a Yorkshire terrier
named Rose. Despite Pete's success, which has led to Jackie becoming a celebrity, they are on the verge of splitting up. Her status has led to her developing a certain amount of snobbery: when Rose, disguised as a waitress, tries to get her to patch up the relationship, Jackie dismisses her as "staff". Jackie's 39th (actually 40th) birthday party, which has many prominent guests, including the President of Great Britain, is invaded by the Cybermen
.
Despite attempting to hide from Lumic's creations, she did not get killed by a cyberman but instead she joins thousands of others in marching to his factory when he activates a brainwashing signal through their EarPods, communications devices that transmit news directly into people's brains. At the factory, she is converted (off-screen) into a Cyberman, much to the horror of her husband and Rose when that Cyberman identifies itself to them. It is presumed that she died with the rest of the Cybermen when the conversion factory was destroyed; the parallel Pete Tyler
says 'his wife died' in "Doomsday
