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.”

Warning: The following article has been designated a Spoiler Zone, as its comments openly discuss the events of part two of The End of Time. Please do not read the comments if you haven’t yet seen the episode and don’t want to be spoiled. Thank you.

And so it came to pass, on New Year’s Day, that the Tenth Doctor did cease to exist, and the lives of Whovians everywhere were changed forever…

The long-awaited second part of The End of Time had its premiere screening in the United Kingdom tonight, and, after gruelling months of speculation and theories, the Tenth Doctor faced his final curtain call. And what a final curtain call it was!

If you’re anything like us, you’ll be feeling a mixture of emotions round about now. Sadness, that the Tenth Doctor is well and truly gone, happiness, that the surviving characters are now set free to live their own lives as a new era of the series begins (what d’you mean they’re all actors!?), and excitement, to see what the future will hold for the Doctor now he’s in his eleventh incarnation. And although we understand that it’s hard to sum up just how you’re feeling, we invite you to leave your thoughts about tonight’s finale in our episode discussion.

It’s been a long road, but was it worth the wait? Was it everything you wanted it to be and more? Are you disappointed by his final chapter? Have you run out of tissues? Whatever’s going on in your head right now, try and make sense of all the chaos and let us know in a comment on this post!

We hope you enjoyed the show, and thanks for joining us for what can only be described as one of the biggest Doctor Who events in its 46 year history. The Tenth Doctor may have left the building, but he’ll never leave our hearts.
