Its been announced that Amy and Rory will leave "heartbreakingly" during the next series of Doctor Who. After that, a new companion will join the Doctor on his travels.
I'm not that surprised really. After Amy's faith in the Doctor was shattered in The God Complex and the River Song storyline concluded in The Wedding of River Song, there doesn't appear to be many directions left for these characters to go. I'm looking forward to finding out what, on top of losing their child and losing faith in the Doctor, could force the Ponds to leave the Tardis permanently.
Since reports state that the next series is split across 2012 and 2013, I'd guess that Amy and Rory will be leaving after the 2012 episodes. This will leave the Doctor solo for the 2012 Christmas special before picking up his new companion in the 2013 episodes. Or I could be completely wrong.
Although the Ponds are not my favourite Who companions of all time, I'll miss the actors, Karen Gillan and Arthur Darvill who always performed well and were often fun to watch off screen.
Still, it's not over yet. We've still got a few more episodes left to enjoy the Ponds at least. Let's hope they're good ones!
