Doctor Who Spoilers: 10 Story-Line Set-Ups That Will Shape Season 8
9. The Possibility Of Losing Clara
Lets be honest being one of the Doctors companions has historically been a game for a single person. The long hours, the frequent death trap scenarios, the unfortunate side effect of companions falling madly in love with our hero they dont all immediately shout FAMILY, do they? Claras had her best innings already. Shes been the Impossible Girl, with all that that entails. Shes prevented the Doctors destruction of his own race. Theres not much left for the woman to do as a companion. The addition of a romantic foil for her thats already been predestined to be a long-term thing, with children and everything, may well seal her goodbye as a companion for the show as it carries on through into the ninth season. Lets admit it the eight season could be Claras swan song. Shes done enough. Lets leave her to live her own life, and have our new, strange and frightening Doctor find a new, odd and unusual companion to join him on his.
