Diane Holmes was a pilot who took off from Cardiff in December 1953 with a small group of passengers, intending to take them to Dublin. Her aircraft flew into the Cardiff Rift, and did not emerge again until 55 years later. On arriving back in Cardiff, Holmes and her passengers were greeted by the Torchwood team, who had come to provide shelter and to help them adjust to their new lives. Holmes was given a new identity - as one Sally-Anne Hope. She had previously been involved with a married man, and now she found herself romantically involved with Owen Harper, who had only recently ended a relationship with colleague Gwen Cooper. Diane wanted to fly again, but found that bureaucracy prevented her from doing so. She would need to be licensed all over again. Unhappy at the restrictions placed on her, she elected to take her aircraft and fly back into the Rift - leaving Owen heartbroken.
A short time later, when the malevolent Bilis Manger schemed to open the Rift fully, he used an apparition of Diane to tempt Owen into doing so. Owen opened the Rift in the hope that this would return Diane to him.
Played by: Louise Delamere. Appearances: TW 1.10 Out of Time, TW 1.13 End of Days (both 2006).
- Delamere had just completed a couple of seasons of the nursing comedy drama No Angels. She was an old friend of David Tennant, and had once shared a flat with him.
