The Doctor Says Goodbye to Amy and Rory

  Doctor Who will be a getting a new traveling companion soon. The journey is coming to an end for Amy Pond and her husband Rory.  Karen Gillan and Arthur Darvill are leaving the show after next season. Executive Producer Steven Moffat hinted that their daughter River Song (Alex Kingston) may be back before their exit.

The Matt Smith Doctor Who seasons have been the “Doctor and Amy” era. I think Amy (from her childhood to marraige to baby) is the most personally intertwined to the Time Lord than any other companion. Amy’s narration even became part of the open of the series. Amy and Rory were the first married couple to travel with the Doctor. I knew it was coming. Companions come and go. It will be bittersweet to see the couple leave. Here’s hoping they have a happy ending.

 

Thanks to TV Line for the confirmation.
