The Mirror is reporting that Jenna Coleman will be leaving Doctor Who after this year’s Christmas special.
The story says:
The actress, 28, is believed to be quitting her role as the Time Lord’s assistant in a sensational Christmas storyline.
Her exit could bring an end to her 18 months as Clara Oswald, creating a vacancy for another sidekick to star alongside new Doctor Who, Peter Capaldi.
Yesterday a source said: “The conversations about Jenna’s exit have started, and a plan is in place which is being ironed out.
“By the time she leaves she will be one of the longest-standing companions ever. She has been absolutely brilliant in the role, but everyone agrees it is a part that should change after a period.”
The source added: “It was very much a mutual decision.
“It’s important to keep the series moving and fast-paced, and the time is just starting to feel right and the feeling is that it could be a perfect Christmas storyline.”
The BBC refused to comment on Jenna-Louise’s exit.
With the source being The Mirror, you can take this rumor with a good dose of salt. Certain parts of the story really call to question is legitimacy, particularly: “bring an end to her 18 months as Clara Oswald….by the time she leaves she will be one of the longest-standing companions ever.”
