Yes. there are. Ace is a pretty good example. I've got a short list of other people who've had a season's worth or more impact on the plot at the end of this thread (http://butterfly.livejournal.com/1174301.html?thread=6013981#t6013981) and I go more into the Curse of Fenric stuff, which is Ace's Bad Wolf. So to say.
(Except I think I forgot about Turlough, whose shouting at crystals and being bullied by weird old duck-wearing dude during the Black Guardian Trilogy was a huge chunk of the plot of Season Twenty.)
Anyhow, Ten/Rose probably gets blasted more than Nine/Rose because to a lot of people outside the ship they seem to have more obnoxious and frankly illiterate fans than Nine/Rose.
