Maybe the BBC said that after Tennant said that, I'm pretty sure Tennant only did his plays because of what the BBC deceided after Davis said he was finishing... Regardless Moffat knew he'd have over 2 years to get his stories and arcs together...

Re: 6x02 - Day of the Moon (2)
And on an other note... I wonder if we will see any more of Jenny... the previous daughter the doctor had... you know, Tennants girlfriend.... on of the old doctors daughter....

I been wondering that since the moment she regen (without changing her face oO). That's why I thought maybe River was her at a time just cause the ending with Jenny just felt weird.

The Doctors done that, he doesn't have to change if he doesn't want too.
Also if he gets injured near a regeneration he can heal himself with the leftover energy. Ie his hand in Christmas Invasion. That's what happened to Jenny I think. I still want Sally Sparrow back, and I'm still waiting

That's not entirely true.... he doesn't have to change his face if he has residual energy close by. The thing with the hand was a one-time deal.
When he grew back his own hand, he was only able to do it because he has within the first 15 hours (was it 15?) of his regeneration cycle. I think that something like that happened to Jenny too. Either she was able to not change face because she hadn't been alive for long, or it could have had something to do with the terra forming-energy..... or perhaps she's just special.

Or what I'm starting to belief very poor writing...since it was in the RTD era so possible.

Anything in life has to make sense in the context of the parameters established by the object in question. When the object breaks it's own rules of existence then I question the reasoning and logic behind it and tend to lose interest.

I'm like the biggest Moffat fan around here, I practically worship the ground he works on and I loved, loved, loved everything he's ever written (from Coupling through Jekyll and Sherlock to all of his Doctor Who episodes), including "Blink" (even though my favorite episode of his - and of Who generally - still is "The Girl in the Fireplace"), so you have to understand where I come from when I ask you this: Why would you want that? I thought "The Time of Angels" / "Flesh and Stone" were terrific (especially in the context of his overall story arc of season 5), but Moffat's revisionism of what the Weeping Angels could do and how their world worked pissed me off. It seems that while he's brilliant at writing new stories, revisiting his old stuff invariably forces him to break canon and make changes that tarnish the original. The Weeping Angels in "Blink" were scarier than the "revised" versions in "The Time of Angels" / "Flesh and Stone" yet the uniqueness and "specialty" of the "Blink"-ones kind of wore off. I'd be afraid that any new story with Sally Sparrow, even one written by Moffat, would end the same way - either adding new information about the character or revising information we already knew to fit this new story, thus destroying the perfection that her character is in "Blink." Do you really want that? Can a new story with her be better than "Blink?"

I want her back personally since I think she was one of the best written and acted female roles I've seen in awhile. Having more of her and getting more information probably will diminish what made the character so special, but the hope of her being back stems from me getting to experience more of that 42mins of television were I didn't have one complaint and thought it was brilliant. So for me it's the longing for more episode like that and the hope that having the character would bring that

Well, yeah, I love the Character, and the actress but since she kinda almost has an Oscar (really, in 10 years, who'll actually remember that Sandra Bullock character in the football movie) and is doing The Great Gatsby, I guess her special appearances in Doctor Who are done for now.

You should then hope for new characters that should be so well-written rather than trying to get the one well-written character to come back. Because invariably she wouldn't be as well-written the second time around and you'd be disappointed.
