Jenna Coleman Confirms Return to DOCTOR WHO

Good news for DOCTOR WHO fans: The Doctor's assistant is not going anywhere.

DOCTOR WHO star Jenna Coleman has confirmed to BBC that she will return to the show to reprise her role as Clara Oswald in the next season of the show.

Recently, there had been speculation that Coleman would depart the show following its Christmas special which just aired.

Having been on the show ever since 2012, Coleman has starred opposite both former Doctor, Matt Smith, and current Doctor, Peter Capaldi.

She sees her time on the show as essential to the character relationships.

"There is so much more to do," Coleman told the BBC. "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."
