Jenna Coleman Confirmed to Return to DOCTOR WHO for Another Season

Jenna Coleman will travel with the Doctor for at least one more season, going against early rumors to the contrary. 

Early into Doctor Who‘s eighth season, rumors began swirling — believable rumors — that Jenna Coleman would not be bringing Clara Oswald, companion extraordinaire, back to the show for another season.  Coleman remained mostly quiet during the height of the rumors, giving the public very little reason to believe she would return for another season.  However, now that this year’s Christmas special has aired — the episode the rumors claimed would be Coleman’s last — we now know she will be back!  As she recently told BBC:

It’s wonderful,” she said. “I get a whole other series of stories with the Doctor and I couldn’t walk away with the story being unresolved.”

She added: “There is so much more to do. I think they’ve finally just reached a point where they really understand each other.

“The arrival of the 12th Doctor has just kind of dropped this whole bombshell and allowed the dynamic to totally change, so I think just when Clara was feeling more comfortable in the relationship, it has suddenly thrown something new up.”

Are you happy that Clara will be returning as the Doctor’s companion.  Also, let us know what thought of Last Christmas!
