just a fangirl, fangirling

Jenna Coleman has said she “couldn’t walk away” from Doctor Who, revealing that she will return for Series 9.

“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 Twelfth 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.”

Peter Capaldi said: “I’m thrilled. Jenna has just been fantastic and such a pleasure to work with.”
