Freema talks Martha, marriage and Karen Gillan!
Freema Agyeman has addressed the recent rumours regarding Martha’s return in David Tennant’s last episode, as well as the reports that suggested the character will be getting married to Mickey Smith in the story too.
Speaking to DigitalSpy recently, the actress, who played the Doctor’s fiesty companion in Series 3 and 4 of the programme, commented on the tabloid speculation, but was careful not to let any potential spoilers slip.
“You know I can’t confirm or deny anything,” she teased. “There’s always things put out there – some true, some not, and some things that never get out until the day you’re seeing it, which is rare. I will say… just watch!”
When asked about what she thought of Karen Gillan being cast as the new companion in Series 5, she said: “I think she looks great! She’s rocking the Rose look, she’s got the Catherine hair, she’s Scottish like David… we love her! She’s part of the family now.”
She added: “I know there are going to be children and adults out there who will always associate me with Martha Jones, and that’s absolutely fine. Actually, I welcome it, because [the show] changed my life, and it’ll never be something that I’ll think I need to brush off.”
That is a lovely comment at the end, and a wise one. If she didn’t accept the fact that she will always be Martha to a lot of people, she’d be in for a very aggravating life.
Incidentally, I don’t think it would be much of a surprise if Martha did tie the knot – we’ve known she was engaged since s4ep4! And in such a volatile job as UNIT, you’d want to seize the moment a bit, so a shorter engagement is probably far more likely. And it may not have been so short anyway, what with timelines and all that.
