Robyn Douglas as Jamie Hamilton in Galactica 1980

Jamie Hamilton first meets Troy and Dillon when she is headed to Los Angeles for a job interview as a reporter with UBC television news. She assists them in locating Professor Mortinson, and ends up going back in time with them to try and stop Xavier.

After the mission, when she comes aboard Galactica, Adama prevails upon her to assist Troy and Dillon in their joint missions to help prepare Earth for contact with the Galacticans, and to locate and stop Xavier. Jamie agrees to the assignment, as well as accepting her new job as a reporter for UBC(Galactica Discovers Earth).

She joins Troy and Dillon in heading back to Revolutionary America in an adventure which is not shown, but that takes place between Galactica Discovers Earth and The Super Scouts.

Troy and Dillon enlist Jamie's aid to protect a group of kids that Adama sends down from the Fleet. The children stay on Earth at the conclusion of the episode, and Jamie becomes a sort of guardian for them (The Super Scouts).

When the renegade Xavier returns, he attempts to kidnap the Galactica children, whom Jamie has taken to play at a baseball camp where she's doing a story (Spaceball).

The rest of the time Jamie appears to be occupied mostly with taking care of the Galactica children (The Night the Cylons Landed, Space Croppers).

Portrayed by Robyn Douglas.

Notes

Jamie Hamilton was a recurring character in Galactica 1980. She appeared in all but the last episode of the series.

Future Role for Jamie

In Space Croppers there is some suggestion that the kids would have stayed at the farm, and Jamie's role in the series would have moved away from being a sort of interstellar baby sitter.

In the scripted but only partially shot episode "Day That Cleopatra Died" (Galactica 1980 was cancelled part way through the shoot) Jamie again accompanied Troy and Dillon back in time as a history expert.

It is also hinted at that Jamie may have been a romantic interest for either Troy or Dillon, but this was never explored.
