Series 9 was Coleman's last. She said about the matter: "I have left the TARDIS and I’ve filmed my last scenes. It has been in the works for a very long time, Steven and I sat down a year ago, a year and a half ago and tried to work out the best place to do it and the best place in which to tell a really good story. So hopefully that’s what we’ve done. I think it’s really, really cool. Obviously we’re not going to give away any details but it will happen at some point this season."<ref>http://www.radiotimes.com/news/2015-09-18/jenna-coleman-confirms-she-is-leaving-doctor-who</ref> Capaldi then revealed that the character of Clara would be leaving during episode 10 ''Face the Raven'', adding that "It’s a sad one, gripping and very strange." also saying that "[And] it’s the end of the line for Clara Oswald played by Jenna Coleman who’s been my companion for the last two years. It’s the end of her story. I don’t want to go into the details of it, but it’s sad.", also telling that she wouldn't return, "Sometimes people can’t come back. Sometimes things happen that they can’t come back from."<ref>http://www.radiotimes.com/news/2015-11-19/did-peter-capaldi-just-confirm-jenna-colemans-final-episode?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=facebook</ref> However, Clara went on to appear as hallucination in episode 11 and then return alive in episode 12, but her fate remained unaltered and her departure still closed the door to future appearances.
