Jamie Hamilton

Jamie Hamilton, portrayed by Robyn Douglas was a recurring character in Galactica 1980. She appeared in all but the last episode of the series.

Troy and Dillon first encounter Jamie 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 the Galactica, Adama prevails upon her to assist Troy in Dillion in their joint missions to help prepare Earth for contact with the Galacticans, and to locate and stop Xavier. Jamie agrees to the assignment, and these reponsibilities with her duties for the Colonial Fleet for the rest of the series.

She joins Troy and Dillon in heading back to Revolutionary America in an adventure which is not shown, but that takes place between the first episode of Galactica 1980, also known as Galactica Discovers Earth and The Super Scouts.

In 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.

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

Jamie is featured much less in the next story, the two part Night that the Cylons Landed. At the start of the episode she is asked to take care of the kids again, and we don't see her for the remainder of the program.

Jamie's final appearance is in Space Croppers when she brings the kids to help with planting the fields. After this point, it is suggested 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.
