10 Times Doctor Who REFUSED To Give Fans What They Wanted

10. Bringing Back Susan

If it's not the Rani, it's the Doctor's granddaughter Susan whom fans want to return to Doctor Who. There have been references to the Doctor's family in the new series, but to date she's not returned. Some fans thought The Woman from The End of Time was Susan, rather than the Doctor's mother, as RTD intended.

Peter Capaldi even mentioned possibly seeing the Doctor's granddaughter again in an interview while he was playing the Doctor. Capaldi's love of being photographed with classic companions on the Doctor Who set only fuelled a desire to see Susan and her grandfather reunited.

The granddad bit between the Doctor and Bill in Knock Knock, and the photo on the Doctor's desk at the university only seemed to hint to viewers that a Susan return was imminent. When David Bradley's appearance as the First Doctor was revealed, it was surely a shoo-in that Susan would return for the final Christmas special.

Whether it was a deliberate troll or not, the reintroduction of Bill in Twice Upon A Time takes slightly too long, especially as everyone already knew Pearl Mackie was coming back. As the figure emerges from the shadows, fans could be forgiven for anticipating the return of Carole Ann Ford. Perhaps one day, she will come back.
