Doctor Who & Romance
Friday November 29, 2024 10:00am - 10:55am CST
Secondary Program Room | Grand Ballroom C
Last season, "Rogue" brought romance back to Doctor Who; but Rogue isn't the Doctor's first love interest! From Rose Tyler to River Song, Grace Holloway to Yasmin Khan, the Doctor has had a variety of onscreen love interests and fandom loves to explore those relationships. This panel will examine how love and romance have become a part of the Doctor's story since the series' revival. Panelists will discuss what romance brings to the show, how and why fandom finds "shipping" so popular, and explore how we see the Doctor's characterization and relationship with romance. Suggested by Sarah Urbank.
