And a big, resounding YES! to all this. Especially on how awful season 2 Rose was, and that she got even worse during the S4 season finale.
I always liked Jackie and Mickey. I liked them two even better than Rose during second season. Jackie was my favourite character season 2.
Most people's problem with these two (well, if they're mainly Rose fans I think) is that one's just the mum and the others the ex. Who wants to know anything about the ex, and who cares about the mum, right? Well, apparently even ROSE doesn't care. Which is cruel of her.
Rose didn't grow at all the second season. I saw her actually regress. She went from a person who at least cared a bit about other people, to someone who thought "Myeh, stuff it, travelling around the universe in a time machine makes me the best! I don't need to care about anyone anymore!" She spent the entire second season having ridiculous amounts of fun at other people's expense. The only time she got upset was when the Doctor didn't go immediately for her.
And who can ever forget Doomsday, in which Rose was crying her little heart out about the Doctor not coming back for her. He plainly stated that he wouldn't knock down the walls of the dimensions to get to her, because it was too dangerous for both the universes. She said "So?" and then went about building herself a cannon that did just what the Doctor practically said not to do.
She regressed even further by the end of S4. In which she didn't give a crap about anything but getting to the Doctor, and the TARDIS. Bye-bye season 1 Rose who said that the Doctor shows people a better way of life, and that the time-travel itself doesn't matter. Hello Rose who blatantly refuses any other life BUT that on the TARDIS, regardless of the risk to the rest of life as a whole.
She didn't love the Doctor, she loved the life he leads. The Doctor at least moved on from Rose, though he did miss her a tonne. Rose disappears and he even starts telling people about Gallifrey and his life beforehand. He never said anything other than his planet was destroyed to Rose. He was too dependent on her. Losing her helped him move on with his life.
I just had Jackie giving Rose the biggest slapping of her life for her bahaviour towards Handy. Good thing Rose already has her own flat in my alt!verse, or Jackie would disown her.
