OMG IRIS WILDETHYME CONTINUITY Pr0nZ NOVELZ AR CANNON NOVELZ ARE CANOON
The sad thing is there will be people really thinking that!
The same people who are waiting for Rani in TSJA to slip into something with shoulderpads and are thinking that the character of Mr Frobisher in TW S3 will turn into a penguin at some point...
Let's suppose that Michelle Ryan is in "Planet of the Dead." That wouldn't preclude her from being cast by Moffat and Wenger as the companion in season 5. Nor would she have to play the same character as a companion that she would, hypothetically, be portraying in the special. Colin Baker's role as Maxil didn't keep him from being cast as the Doctor, nor did Freema Ageyman's role as Adeola keep her from being cast as Martha.The difference is that was under the same Producer. Moffat will want to create his own Companion not take one of RTD's sloppy seconds.
Realistically, though, if she plays a major role in "Planet of the Dead" she's not likely to be the series five companion, for much the same reasons David Morrissey was never likely to be the eleventh Doctor. Steven Moffat is not going to want his first companion to be a collaborative effort with the outgoing producers, nor is RTD likely to want to make that kind of effort, and I don't see that great of a chance of a same actor/different character with someone in a major role anymore. (Freema's bit part in "Army of Ghosts" isn't really comparable.)
She was linked with Who when Billie Piper quit, so I'm not surprised. It's not impossible she could return, but I think it's probably more likely to be another one off, or perhaps recurring later down the line if they want. I think series 5 will be a semi-reboot, introducing the new companion in the first episode, so we get to know her and the new Doctor at the same time. Sort of like Eccleston and Rose.
God I hope not.
Maybe with some-one else but as played by Katie Manning, Iris should be sucked through a TVG and shot out the time rotor!!
Iris Wildthyme is fabulous, chuck.
Methinks that's the point of Iris.
Surely the point of Iris is to be the example par excellence of Paul Magrs' "Look, I've created something mildly wacky. ISN'T THAT EVER SO FUNNY?" approach to humour?
So you'll be signing up for the Iris Wildthyme Fan Club, I take it, Brendan?
More info from last night's shooting. A picture of how the episode will start is definitely building up.

The fact that Iris Wildethyme means anything to any of us means we're a bunch of saddos. But it's good company.
I love you all! Except Skutter.
