British newspaper, The Mirror
is reporting that actress Jenna Coleman, who plays the Time Lord's companion,
Clara Oswald on the hit show Doctor Who, will be leaving the series after this
year's Christmas Special.
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.
As always take it with a grain
of salt, but the trade was right on Matt Smith leaving the show, so…
Doctor Who returns for its 8
series on August 23.
