River Song has not appeared on Doctor Who since 2013's "The Name Of The Doctor". the episode leading up to the shows big 50th anniversary episode. There's been speculation over the last two years as to wither she'd return or not and now, finally, she is.
Kingston seems happy to be back as Song,
“To be honest, I did not know whether River would ever return to the show, but here she is, back with the Doctor for the Christmas special. Steven Moffat is on glittering form, giving us an episode filled with humour and surprise guest castings. I met Peter for the first time at Monday’s read through, we had a laugh, and I am now excited and ready to start filming with him and the Doctor Who team. Christmas in September? Why not!”
Lead Writer, Steven Moffat, seems pleased with bringing back the character too, but isn't giving too much away as to how we'll see her this time and what she'll be like,
“Another Christmas, another special for Doctor Who - and what could be more special than the return of Alex Kingston as Professor River Song? The last time the Doctor saw her she was a ghost. The first time he met her, she died. So how can he be seeing her again? As ever, with the most complicated relationship in the universe, it’s a matter of time...”
I'm totally happy and excited with this return as River Song is and always will be an amazingly strong character in the NuWho universe. I wonder what's up Moffat's sleeve this time round with the character? I guess only time will tell.
