"The 28-year-old actress - who plays Clara Oswald in the BBC programme - has confirmed she will appear in series nine, ending rumours that she was set to quit. She said: ''It's wonderful - a whole other series of stories with the Doctor. I couldn't walk away with the story being unresolved, there's so much more to do and I think [Clara and the Doctor] have finally just reached a point where they really understand each other. ''The arrival of the 12th Doctor has just dropped this bombshell and allowed the dynamic to totally, totally change so I think, just when Clara was feeling more comfortable in the relationship, it's suddenly thrown something totally new up and I think the comeuppance of that and the story that we got to tell over the season has been thrilling.''" - CW

Thats a shame. I'm a bit tired of this character. - CW

I still like Clara, but I'd also be happy to see a new companion. Still, though, I feel like there is a story arc that Moffat hasn't finished with Clara; I feel like there were earlier parts of the season that indicated she'd live happily-ever-after with a certain someone, and now that seems impossible without retcon. - COMPLICATED MR.
