<\/div>\n

Jenna Coleman, who regularly played Clara Oswald (and splinters of her) from 2012 to 2017, has speculated that her character could return to Doctor Who<\/em> in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When asked if she’d like to come back as the companion, she replied<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“It could happen in the future, who knows? I think, at least for a good while, Clara is probably broken down somewhere in time and space, trying to understand how to work a TARDIS!”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Clara was last seen as a memory in the Doctor’s mind, making a cameo in Twice Upon A Time<\/em>, but before that, before her inevitable demise in Face the Raven<\/em>, she went off with Ashildr\/Me (Maisie Williams) in a TARDIS stolen from Gallifrey (as seen in Hell Bent<\/em>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And Jenna has a lot of happy memories from her time on the show:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I took away so much from my time working with Peter [Capaldi, who played the Twelfth Doctor], Matt [Smith, aka the Eleventh Doctor] and the rest of the cast and crew on something so loved and revered. It was such a special time in my life.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

At the moment, Coleman is gaining a plethora of new fans, playing Johanna Constantine in Netflix’s The Sandman<\/em>, based on the DC comic from Neil Gaiman (The Doctor’s Wife<\/em>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, we’ve been promised “cameo appearances” from familiar faces in the next story, the as-yet-untitled BBC Centenary special, alongside the returns of Sophie Aldred and Janet Fielding as Ace and Tegan Jovanka respectively. Could Clara return too? You never know…<\/p>\n
