In words sure to provoke debate amongst fans, Doctor Who Producer Steven Moffat has revealed that Peter Capaldi’s Twelfth Doctor really does fancy his companion Clara!
Speaking at BAFTA’s recent ten year anniversary celebration in New York, Moffat went further by suggesting that the Doctor is “besotted” with all his companions:
“We’re in a very different place with the Doctor and Clara in the modern series, it’s been a while since I’ve seen the early stages of the Twelfth Doctor trying to pretend he doesn’t fancy Clara – ‘Oh you’re ugly! Disgusting!…Stop looking so good!’ In truth, in most cases with the Doctor he always loves them more than they love him. That’s his story. He’s always besotted with them even though he’s trying to pretend that he isn’t.”
We hope that doesn’t include K9!
Peter Capaldi’s view of the possibility of hanky-panky in the TARDIS couldn’t have been more different. Speaking in July of last year, Capaldi said:
“It’s not what this Doctor’s concerned with. It’s quite a fun relationship, but no, I did call and say, ‘I want no Papa-Nicole moments’. I think there was a bit of tension with that at first, but I was absolutely adamant.”
What do you think? should the Doctor be attracted to his companions? let us know.
It would be far preferable for this Doctor to be different to 10 and 11 in particular in this area but I guess it’s ratings
He is wayyyyyy to old for her cmon!!! Gross
I’m in love with Clara so why wouldn’t The Doctor be as well, after all she is incredibly cute
He’s taking the effing piss. we’re through the looking glass in cuckoo land on this one.
I thought he was always attached, 11 was so into her but 12 is a lot more either fatherly or we’re not in love anymore but damn two years later and I still love you but I’ll never say it

Okay I’ve actually just read the article and it’s just clickbait, the doctor loves all the people in his life more than himself in an affectionate way regardless of whether it’s platonic or otherwise

I don’t think age is an issue. Why is it strange if 56-57 year old Capaldi had a kissing scene with Coleman in her 20s when most found it okay and normal for Smith in his late 20s to be snogging with Kingston? It’s not that its gross, but its wrong because of the character of Capaldi’s doctor. 12 shows no compassion for romance, and if so, he at time shows preferences to older women because that’s his current attraction. For Capaldi, he didn’t want papa-nicole moments because it would ruin his purpose for the character’s current incarnation and he might of not felt comfortable with it at all. Personally, I can’t agree with Moffat if he means love in the sense of romance. When I say I love my friends, it is different then I love you to a specific person. If he means the romantic sense, then he’s wrong, but in a general sense he is right.

The Doctor admires and is fascinated with Clara, he also loves her, but it is not a romantic love. I really feel sorry for people who can’t understand that a person can love someone without it involving romance.

He loves all his companions, that’s undeniable. However, it’s not always a romantic interest
