Michelle Ryan leaping to Doctor Who
Doctor Who is going bionic. Former NBC star Michelle Ryan may be up for the next companion on “Doctor Who.”
Ryan landed a role in “Planet of the Dead,” an Easter special set to air on BBC1 in April, reports the Daily Mail. She will play Lady Christina de Souza, who accompanies David Tennant’s Doctor on a dangerous bus trip. It is the first of four stand-alone episodes of Doctor Who and each will feature a different companion. Both Ryan and Tennant were filming on location in a bus yesterday.
“The script is being kept strictly under wraps – however we can reveal that Lady Christina is a woman with a mysterious past who’s going to have a huge impact on the Doctor,” said executive producer Russell T Davies.
The BBC is looking for a new companion to star alongside the new Doctor, Matt Smith, in the next proper season and insiders claim Ryan is a major contender for the role.
“Michelle’s been in secret talks with BBC bosses,” said a source. “They are likely to announce her as Doctor Who’s new assistant very soon. She is perfect for the role. She is good looking and the right age to star alongside Matt. Everyone agrees they look great together and reckon fans will think they’re the perfect team too.”
Matt Smith was a controversial decision for the BBC, what about Michelle Ryan? Yay or nay?
