10. Courtney Will Stow Away On The Tardis Episode 6
The current consensus about Ellis Georges character Courtney is that she is Danny Pink's little sister and a student at the Coal Hill School who will appear in at least two episodes of Series 8. In her first appearance (Episode 6) she and the Doctor will cross paths as the episode takes place at Coal Hill but George has also been spotted filming on location in Wales for Episode 7 with Peter Capaldi, Jenna Coleman, and guest star Hermione Norris. So the question is just how does she end up on the Tardis? Judging by the location filming, Danny wont be in Episode 7 and the Twelfth Doctor definitely doesnt seem like the type to let a teenager onboard the Tardis. Even if she did end up doing something heroic in Episode 6. Of course it could be Claras decision but even then it seems like something the Doctor would be against. Which leaves one other option: a stowaway. It would be a nice little cliffhanger to lead into Episode 7, bump up any tension between Doctor and Danny when they next meet, and add a slightly different character dynamic for the next episode. The Doctor tries to do his own thing while having to cope with something from his past; and keeping an eye on Courtney at the same time since she shouldnt even be there, and probably doesnt have what it takes to survive on another planet.
