Russell Tovey has admitted that he has no idea what the future holds for his character, Midshipman Frame.

As DigitalSpy reports, the actor revealed during a Being Human panel at San Diego Comic Con that he doesn’t know if he’ll be appearing in Series 4 of Torchwood.

“[I have] genuinely no idea,” he said. ”There’s been lots of rumours. I did that scene and I never really thought anything of it.”

He explained: “To be honest, I’ve never really watched Torchwood. But I’ve been bombarded with messages asking ‘Are you gonna be Jack’s lover?’”

He was introduced in Voyage of the Damned, and was seen again in The End of Time, during which he met Captain Jack. The brief scene has led to speculation that he’ll be joining the team – something he’s previously told SFX he’d be ‘open’ to.

Would Alonso be a good addition to the team? Share your thoughs below. Allons-y!

In a recent Q&A with The Guardian, Noel Clarke reveals his thoughts on Mickey Smith’s marriage to Martha Jones, which was revealed at the end of The End of Time.

“I didn’t mind,” he said. ”It was a good character arc. A lot of Mickey happened by accident. I came in and played him quite badly in season one. We didn’t know what Doctor Who was going to be. Season two, Russell started writing the character more towards me, because he knew me, and Mickey became a little bit darker.”

He adds: “So mostly by coincidence, Mickey has this arc from nerdy guy to bearded freedom fighter. I thought that was cool.”
