Season 9/Christmas special speculation *spoilers*

^ Works for me.

Okay, Clara can die now.

Fine, if it turns out that Danny had cousins or somesuch.

 

[The Wormhole]

Clara... just get rid of her! Let her adopt the kid Danny sent back. Either the kid will take Danny's last name or Clara will be pregnant with Danny's baby and eventually Orson Pink will exist as he's meant to. But let her be gone, hopefully with a reasonably happy ending, never to return. The Doctor needs a new Companion.

According to Moffat, Orson is a cousin or somesuch to Danny; he's not descended from Danny and Clara, and if fans assumed otherwise it's because he was being deliberately vague about the relationship in "Listen."

Okay, that is twisted. I was under the impression the main reason Clara stuck with Danny as long as she did was because she felt she had to so that Orson would someday be born. It seems cruel if she got it wrong and ended up wasting time with the wrong guy just because she thought she had to. Damn, this was a terrible story idea.

 

[Timewalker]

At this point I have stopped caring if Orson Pink ever exists or has been born, un-born, or whatever. Just get rid of Clara, get a better companion, fire the writers who think this show is "General TARDIS", and get on with the interesting kinds of stories we haven't had in years.
