Ok, not really. But she was once bionic . . . sort of.
The BBC has accounced the identity of the Doctor's new companion for the upcoming Doctor Who Easter Special that will be airing on the BBC sometime this Spring and eventually in the US around the year 2037 (at least that's how it feels sometimes). Her name is Michelle Ryan, and she's best known for her short-lived stint on the reboot of the Bionic Woman series that died a little while ago.
In the episode titled "Planet of the Dead," Ryan, 24, will portray the mysterious Lady Christina de Souza.
"As always the script is being kept strictly under wraps," says executive producer and writer Russell T. Davies. "However, we can reveal that Lady Christina is a woman with a mysterious past who's going to have a huge impact on the Doctor."
Current plans are saying that Michelle's run as the companion will only be for this one movie, but rumors have been flying lately that Ms. Ryan may very well become the Doctor's permanent companion once David Tennant leaves the show and Matt Smith steps in as the 11th Doctor.
I'll be keeping an eye on this and will let you know as soon as I hear anything new.
