Sophia Myles and the Doctor

There are some pretty strong rumors about hinting that the Girl in the Fireplace could be the Doctor's next companion. We're talking about our favorite Sophia Myles (recently off of Spooks and who appeared in the 10th Doctor's The Girl in the Fireplace). There isn't a lot of information yet. Not sure if she'd reprise her role as Madame de Pompadour or if she'd be an original character. Perhaps she'll be a descendant of Madame de Pompadour like Torchwood's Gwen Cooper is a descendant of Gwyneth from the Doctor Who episode- The Unquiet Dead (both characters played by Eve Myles). If that is to be, then maybe characters descended from earlier characters is a privileged that belongs to people named Myles. But here's to being hopeful!

SEXY Sophia Myles is being tipped as the Time Lord’s next companion after a cheeky tease on Twitter.

BBC bosses are keeping tight-lipped about the identity of the new sidekick for The Doc (Matt Smith).

But series boss Steven Moffat’s tweet about Thunderbirds big screen star Sophia has set tongues wagging that she has been lined up.

Moffat, 50, tweeted: “Right EVERY­BODY who follows me, go and follow @SophiaMyles – spin that fireplace. NOW.

“I’ll explain later. Or not.”

A new girl is set to take over this year from Karen Gillan, who plays sidekick Amy Pond.

And Sophia has a big link to the BBC sci-fi series because she app­eared as The Doc’s love interest Madame de Pompadour in the 2006 episode The Girl In The Fireplace.

Sophia, 31, also dated former Doctor David Tennant, 40.
