In the Eighth Doctor novels, Fitz has just as much influence on the plot as Rose does. (And in the Big Finish audio adventures Evelyn looked into the heart of the TARDIS lifetimes before Rose did.) As far as the focus of the television series goes, The Education Of Ace was a big part of the twenty-fifth and twenty-sixth seasons. UNIT and its associated personnel were an integral part of the Third Doctor's tenure. If you want for season-long arcs, we had the Valeyard fucking the Doctor's shit up during the the twelve-episode Trial Of A Timelord and oh yeah, the Master in his many forms has been influencing the plot since the seventies.
So, not just Rose. No matter how important she may be personally to the Doctor, she's not more special than anyone else to the narrative.
