rdf:langString Esther Drummond, portrayed by Alexa Havins, is a fictional character in the BBC television programme Torchwood, a spin-off from the long-running series Doctor Who. Havins is one of several American actors to join Torchwood in its fourth series, Torchwood: Miracle Day, which was co-produced by Torchwood's original British network BBC One and the American television network Starz. The character appears in every episode of the fourth series in addition to a prequel novel, The Men Who Sold the World. Within the series narrative, Esther is a Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) watch analyst who becomes aware of the defunct British Torchwood Institute on "Miracle Day", when it is discovered that no one can die. Alongside her CIA colleague Rex Matheson she joins forces with the last two remaining Torchwood agents to investigate the phenomenon. Esther's standing as a desk-bound computer and technology expert puts her in contrast with the tougher and more action-orientated characters in the series. By the Miracle Day finale, Esther has become a more competent field agent, but is murdered by the group's enemies in an attempt to stop them progressing with their mission. Havins was influenced in her decision to accept the part by her husband's appreciation of the series. Like Rex, Esther is used by executive producer Russell T Davies as a means of introducing new American audiences to the established mythos of Torchwood. Havins stated the character to have an unrequited love for Rex, but explained that he does not appear to notice. Response to the character varied; some critics praised her characterisation and portrayal whilst others felt her to display incompetency and to not have been taken to by the audience. The nature of her exit from the show was generally praised, though some reviewers felt it lacked the desired emotional impact.

Les circonstances la mettent en présence de Rex Matheson et l'impliquent dans l'aventure de Torchwood. Son implication dans l'affaire Torchwood lui coûtera la vie, puisqu'elle est abattue à Buenos Aires par un membre des trois familles, en essayant d'arrêter "la Bénédiction".À la fin du dernier épisode de la saison 4, on voit ses funérailles dans une chapelle nommée 'Chapelle des Jardins'. Après les funérailles, Harkness fait remarquer à Rex Matheson qu'au vu du grand nombre de décès survenus après l'arrêt de la Bénédiction, elle a de la chance d'avoir une messe entière, puisqu'"il y a dix enterrements par heure ces derniers jours, il faut rattraper le temps perdu".
