I don’t think anyone’s dying this Christmas. Peter Capaldi has signed up for season 9 and Clara dying was to set up the Impossible Girl arc. I think this episode will be angsty in other ways but I don’t think Clara and Twelve are in serious danger. (At least I hope not)

faithful-viewer:

I think you’re right, I really hope so. I’m not worried about Peter actually, but there is this ongoing rumour about Jenna leaving the show and not having signed for next season yet that really scares me, now Moffat has even started talking about new companions. Hopefully they are just teasing us as usual, and everyone will be all right. I just want a happy ending with Twelve and Clara back together in the TARDIS, I need another season with Jenna because her dynamic with Peter has been so brilliant and interesting this season.
