Many Doctor Who fans are debating the relationship between the Ninth Doctor and his companion Rose Tyler.
After the recent return of Christopher Eccleston's Ninth Doctor in audio adventures, many Doctor Who fans have been revisiting those early days. However, the show itself did not officially clarify the nature of the relationship between the Ninth Doctor and Rose Tyler. Was it romantic? Were they friends?
The answer is surprisingly a big 'yes!' But, it comes with a shocking twist. During his recent audio adventures, the Ninth Doctor was revealed to be Doctor Who Aromantic. So, his relationship with Rose Tyler wasn't a romantic one at all.
Those audio adventures led to this groundbreaking reveal! While it's always been a hot topic amongst Doctor Who fans, we only got concrete evidence of the Ninth Doctor's sexual orientation after these audio adventures.
For fans, the reveal is both shocking and wonderful. We now understand why his Doctor Who relationship with Rose Tyler (played by Billie Piper) was so unique, focused primarily on friendship. While this reveal will no doubt make waves in the Doctor Who fandom, the audio adventure (Star-Crossed), focused on his interaction with Alex Kingston's Doctor Who River Song.
Fans may recall how Ten almost professed his love for Doctor Who Rose Tyler at the end of Doctor Who season 2. So, we know that the Tenth Doctor and his relationships with Companions, which included Doctor Who Donna Noble and Doctor Who Clara Oswald, might be different from Doctor Who Ninth Doctor.
Many viewers have asked about the relationship dynamics of Doctor Who Companions and the Doctor Who Time Lord. They share an important bond. While most viewers recognize the emotional bond that forms, it doesn't always signify romance. The Doctor Who relationship dynamics are complex, and it often relies more on friendship than a romantic Doctor Who romance.
