Noel Clarke to return to Who?

...hinted to SCI FI Wire that he may be returning to the show in the upcoming fourth season, even though his character was left stranded in an alternate dimension.

Besides acting in Doctor Who, Clarke also wrote an episode of the first season of Torchwood, a spinoff series starring John Barrowman. When asked whether he would be writing any more scripts, he was coy about his availability. "I'm not doing the second [season] of Torchwood," he said. "Because I'm doing things that I can't talk about."

Clarke's character was the on-and-off boyfriend of the Doctor's companion, Rose Tyler, played by Billie Piper. But when Piper left the series at the end of the second season, her character was sent to a parallel universe, along with Mickey and her parents, Jackie and Pete (played by Camille Coduri and Shaun Dingwall).

"I think over the two seasons, people really grew to like Jackie and Mickey and Pete," Clarke said. "And consequently, as Rose departed, they departed with her. I think it's great [that they're missed]."

As for how the writers would explain Mickey's possible return, Clarke offered a vague explanation. "It's a parallel universe, baby," he said. "The only thing I could say is that it's sci-fi, right? And in sci-fi, there's no real rules, is there?"

The first season of Torchwood premieres on BBC America on Sept. 9 and will air Wednesdays at 9 p.m. Meanwhile, the third season of Doctor Who is currently airing on the SCI FI Channel Fridays at 9 p.m.

I won't lie, I'd much rather Mickey returned than Rose. Maybe he can bring his boyfriend Jake with him?
