1. Amy Pond and Rory Williams
Played by Karen Gillan and Arthur Darvill, fans have been looking forward to the return of Amy and Rory for years. The duo began their journey through the series in 2011 alongside the 11th Doctor and have since become the favorite characters of countless fans. Even though its final arc closed the possibility of the Ponds’ return, in Doctor Who nothing is impossible. And with Gillan ending her role as Nebula in Guardians of the Galaxy, the actress may have more time to return to the role of Amy.
2. 11th and 12th Doctors
Of course, with Tennant returning to the lead role, one can’t help but dream about the return of Matt Smith and Peter Capaldi in the role of Doctor. As with the show’s special 50th anniversary episode, “The Day Of The Doctor”, Smith and Capaldi could interact with each other and other reincarnations of the Doctor, such as Ncuti or Tennant.
3. Wilfred Mott
Who remembers the friendly grandfather of Donna Noble who was passionate about space and spent his nights in the company of a telescope to observe the galaxy? With the return of Catherine Tate, the possibility of Wilfred returning to the series is huge! Although his name is not confirmed in the special episode, actor Bernard Cribbins was seen on set alongside Tate and Tennant. So, if you’re a fan of Wilfred, you can start celebrating!
4. Clara Oswald
When Clara Oswald entered the Doctor’s timeline in the season seven episode “The Name Of The Doctor”, the character opened up a range of possibilities for her return even after she stopped being a series regular. Jenna Coleman could return to Doctor Who since Clara has been split through time to forever find the Doctor in all of her reincarnations—including Ncuti Gatwa’s soon-to-be-released.
5. The Torchwood Members
Torchwood was one of the first spin-offs of the modern era of Doctor Who, being led by Russell T. Davies as well as the main series. But since the spin-off ended in 2013, the Torchwood Institute has never been mentioned in the series’ universe again. However, with Davies returning, it’s likely that the showrunner will want to rescue characters from when he started the project in 2005. So Gwen Cooper and Captain Jack Harkness can return to the Doctor Who universe once again to help the Doctor.
6. Martha Jones
Even after ceasing to be a companion of the Doctor, Martha Jones continued to serve humanity and research extraterrestrial beings during her permanent stay on Earth. Jones worked at institutes such as UNIT and Torchwood, but has never returned to the series since Tennant left his post as Doctor. As Martha is still present on the planet, her return is an open possibility, but one that would certainly please many fans.

Since Peter Capaldi left his post as Doctor, Kate Stewart and Osgood have never returned to the series. Kate was Head of UNIT’s Scientific Research division while Osgood was a young scientist working for the organization.

Madame Vastra was a Silurian detective who, alongside his human wife Jenny Flint and the Sontaron Commander Strax, assisted the Doctor in several of his reincarnations – such as in the episode “When A Good Man Goes To War”, where the 11th Doctor rides a squad to save Amy Pond from kidnapping, or in “Deep Breath” where the trio assist the 12th Doctor shortly after his regeneration. However, since Capaldi left his post as Doctor, the trio never returned to the series.

However, as the character is a time traveler, her return could happen in the future, which will please many fans of the series.
10. 9th Doctor
