User blog:Pinguinus/Official Update--New Character Revealed

Hello again fanoneers! An exciting piece of news has recently surfaced regarding Series 8 of Doctor Who. If you'd prefer to be surprised by the show, don't read any further!

It has been confirmed that the actor Samuel Anderson has been cast as a recurring character in Series 8--a teacher alongside Clara Oswald at Coal Hill School, named Danny Pink.

I hadn't seen this news elsewhere on the wiki, I decided to write this post to see how our community reacts. There's so much to wonder about; will he be a travelling companion of the Doctor, perhaps following in the footsteps of Ian Chesterton from the first ever Series back in 1963? Will he be largely limited to Earth, like Mickey Smith was? There's a lot to think about. The only certain thing is that this will definitely be affecting fanfiction in one way or another as the show continues. :)
