DOCTOR WHO – Official: Jenna Coleman Leaving During Season 9
On the eve of the new season of Doctor Who, the BBC has officially announced that current companion Clara Oswald will be leaving the Doctor’s side at some point during the season. There’s been no word on WHEN her and the Doctor will part ways, or how, or why. At this point, all we know is that it IS happening this season; which had been a rumor floating around the interwebs all week, likely forcing BBC to make the official announcement.
Jenna Coleman made her Doctor Who debut on 1 September, 2012 as Oswin Oswald in Asylum of the Daleks. She returned on Christmas Day of that year, playing Clara and remained with the Eleventh Doctor from the following episode, The Bells of Saint John, onwards. She stayed on board the TARDIS for all of Peter Capaldi’s episodes to date and after filming for the last series finished, Peter commented, ‘Jenna has been absolutely brilliant. I think she’s wonderful in the show, and she’s my favorite companion.’
But Series 9 sees the Impossible Girl’s departure although the how, why and when are all questions we’ll have to watch the new adventures to find out…
Whatever happens, we’ll bring you the inside info first but for the time being we’ll prepare to say goodbye to Clara and good luck to Jenna. We’ll miss them both.
