Doctor Who Star Catherine Tate Addresses Donna Noble Return Rumors

screenrant.com:

Former Doctor Who companion Catherine Tate has addressed the rumors as to whether her character, Donna Noble, will return for the show's 60th anniversary next year. Tate first appeared in the BBC's long-running science fiction series as a guest star in the 2006 Christmas Special «The Runaway Bride,» which saw her fending-off against the spider-like Empress of the Racnoss alongside the Tenth Doctor (David Tennant). However, Donna's sassy, morally-stubborn personality ensured that she quickly became a fan-favorite, and the character returned as a full-time companion to the Doctor throughout season 4 of the rebooted show.

Despite aiding the Doctor in his battle against numerous monsters and villains, Donna was forced to leave the TARDIS during the Doctor Who season 4 finale. After helping to defeat Davros using knowledge gained from the Doctor, the Time Lord had to sadly wipe her memory of all their adventures together in order to prevent her mind from collapsing due to the intensity of the information she acquired. Tate reprised the role again as a guest star for the two-part Doctor Who special, «The End of Time,» and has continued to play Donna in several audio dramas, but has not appeared as the character on-screen for over 12 years. However, with Doctor Who's 60th anniversary coming up next year, an event often celebrated with Doctors and companions from the show's past returning in guest appearances, rumors have been circulating as to whether Donna will be among those being brought back.
