Two theories about [Spoilers]

Oh good, I love that.
It has been speculated the Doctor and Master were once lovers.
So something like a cross between Amy's Choice and Asylum of the Daleks, but this time it's the real thing?
People speculate that the doctor is diddling his companions over the main console as soon as the camera cuts away but it is hardly credible.
I just thought of that. An older, crazy Clara. Hey, if it is her at least now she's probably be old enough to actually want someone that's the Doctor's visual age to be her boyfriend, which would make an interesting comparison to her reaction to him in the first episode. Honestly, I hope that isn't the case (and it doesn't seem very likely), but it would be kind of interesting for her to be Clara. I would like it if she's someone the Doctor has met before, though, and not just a random woman who knows the Doctor but whom he doesn't know.
Well, in that case, why would she just be calling The Doctor her boyfriend? She'd probably call him her husband instead.
I really wish we could enable the like function on these boards.
I was wondering if Clara had been pretending not to be Scottish the whole time, but then I remembered that we met her parents and the Doctor followed her as a child.
And she's been chasing him for the last two thousand years, one step behind him at every turn?
No, that's Seven.
Why must he have a first wife ? Susan's mother might be Jenny...
Well, that would require Jenny to get a time machine capable of going to Galifrey's past (which really shouldn't be possibleright now and especially for someone without a special time machine TARDIS). There is also the fact that The Doctor, in his first incarnation, might have questioned where this strange woman came from claiming to be his daughter. The Doctor has a lot of timey-whimey stuff, but that doesn't fit.
Also, a direct quote from The Doctor's Daughter
He speaks of they and them, therefore he had multiple children. \I'm assuming he said they died because he still thought Galifrey was gone because of what he thought he did in the Time War, so that part may or may not be accurate. Although, since we never saw them when he was on Galifrey in the old series, they were seemingly either dead, gone or not talking to him, all of which are feasible. But, regardless of whether they are actually dead or not, he's definitely talking about more than one, and he's referring to children specifically, so he's not talking about Susan or other family members in that quote.
I guess he might have had multiple children without being married or with multiple women, but it seems easier to assume he had a wife at one point on Galifrey, they had children, and then his immediate family either died or stopped talking to him or something. Personally, I have the theory that, after he fled Galifrey with Susan, his immediate family disowned the now wanted criminal, and that's why we never saw them when he visited galifrey on the show. Regardless of why we never saw them, he at one point had multiple children, presumably on Galifrey in his first incarnation.
While all Time Lords are Gallifreyan, not all Gallifreyans are Time Lords. The Doctor himself, by most reports, just barely made it through the Academy and earned the right to become a Time Lord. According to the BF audio Zagreus, Rassilon gave the gift of regeneration only to the elite of his people (the Time Lords).
The reason the Doctor's children are dead (I'm guessing) was because they didn't become Time Lords. No doubt as children of Time Lords they would have had first crack at the Academy, but they didn't qualify or couldn't handle the Untempered Schism or something. No Time Lord title = no regeneration. For all we know, without regeneration a Gallifreyan may live no longer than any of us or only slightly longer. So the First Doctor had to see his children be born, grow up, live out an average lifespan and then die of old age.

I'm not so sure of that. When the Doctor talks about his species, he always say that he's a Time Lord, never that he's a Gallifreyan.
I always assumed that all Galifreyans lived extra long, and I'd think a Time Lord could do something for their family regardless. I don't think such a advanced civilization, regardless of how cold they were sometimes, would just accept that a lot of them would majorly outlive their families by generations. They can build living time machines, and there are so many Time Lords (or seemed to be) that I'd think that, even if they weren't long lived a long time ago, that they would have become so eventually.
I've thought for awhile that The Galifreayans certainly had a big enough population (based on the line about how many children the Doctor said were on Galifrey when he thought he destroyed it) to support the idea that a lot of the people live long and reproduce without as many dying off. So, while Galifreyan doesn't always equal Time Lord, I wouldn't be surprised if living long is a normal thing for the species, with regenerating being exclusive to Time Lords.

One of the ladies from the Sisterhood of Karn?
My favorite theory, as absurd as it is, is that the Master is Susan's father and the Doctor's son.
