Well this is very interesting. Actress Faye Marsay, who endeared herself to a big chunk of Doctor Who fandom during Last Christmas, has claimed that there has been no talk of Shona McCulloch returning to the show.

Marsay – previously known for The White Queen – was praised for her honest portrayal of a potential companion following hints and claims that Jenna Coleman might be leaving the show in the ultimate-sounding Christmas adventure.

Speaking to Den of Geek about the DVD release of E4 sries Glue, Marsay was quizzed about her brief time on Doctor Who and if we’ve seen the last of Shona. She replied: “With Shona, there’s been no talk of her returning.” Which is interesting as it puts to bed some rumours that have been circulating since her appearance. Also, Marsay doesn’t say that she won’t be returning, just that Shona won’t…

When asked if she would like to return, Faye is enthusiastic.

“Definitely! I loved working with the people. They’re wonderful to work with and incredibly talented. And Peter Capaldi! God, I fancy him so much. He’s amazing! The people, the production and the crew are the nicest people. And again, being really sycophantic, it’s a really nice set up they have in Cardiff, and really good people who care about the show. I would definitely go back and do more Doctor Who. Whether they’d have me back, I don’t know! No-one’s rung, so I’ve got to let it go and be thankful I was in it in the first place!”

We also hear from the actress herself that she reprised the “Shona Shuffle” in her home town on Boxing Day.

What do you think? Would you like to have seen Faye Marsay return with Shona?
