The Ponds to depart the TARDIS


In what is probably not a surprising announcement (it's happened before, and it will happen again) Doctor Who show-runner Steven Moffat has confirmed that while Amy and Rory will be returning for the series 7th (33rd) season, their story will come to "a heartbreaking end." At what point actors Karen Gillan and Arthur Darvil will depart is unknown -either mid season or at its end. While it is always sad to see companions leave, the truth of the matter is what makes this series so unique is its ability to change its cast (including its lead) from time to time.

It's longevity is based on this successful ability.

As to who will replace them is not known, but I'm sure news will leak out sometime in 2012, when the series resumes production in the Spring for a fall premiere.
