Clara’s Fate & Series 9 (Spoilers)
This post contains Last Christmas ending spoilers…
As Last Christmas revealed in its closing moments Jenna Coleman will in fact be staying on as Clara for Series 9 of Doctor Who.
Steven Moffat confirmed that “Jenna is in all of the next series,” at the screening, adding: “There was a certain amount of to-ing and fro-ing. I always think I’m quite good at winding up people on this but Jenna completely outplayed me when she said in an interview ‘I’m not telling you if I’m staying or going because it’s just more exciting’. And it occurred to us all that we don’t start shooting until January so we could actually keep it a secret.”
Jenna Coleman 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.”
Capaldi said: “I think Jenna’s been just fantastic and it’s been such a pleasure to work with her – and especially for me as the new person onto the show, she’s just been fantastic – and so I was so excited and delighted when she finally [agreed to stay].”
