"Jenny" Returns? *Possible Spoiler
I don't know if this has been discussed (because I haven't gone in the spoiler topic) but an actress by the name of Catrin Stewart has been cast as "Jenny" for the mid-season finale.
I wrote about it in my blog here:

Here's a piece of what I said:
Georgina
Moffet, the actress who played Jenny in "The Doctor's Daughter", is due
to give birth very soon so this could be a recasting due to her not
being available or a regeneration for the character who was technically a
Timelord.

Group Shot - Feb 2011 SL Meet Up
Group shot at the end of the Doctor Who: Podshock Meet Up and Party on Second Life from February 27, 2011.
A New Twist to Our Meet Up: The Post Gallifrey One Party [Video]
Keeping with the theme of Gallifrey One's Catch 22: Islands of Mystery, our Post Gallifrey One Party which was our Doctor Who: Podshock and Gallifreyan Embassy seasonal meet up and party on Second Life taking place the following Sunday (27 February 2011) after Gallifrey One had a tiki feel to it. Victor Mornington @vic1st and his fellow owners of the land of Katrina (The Doctor Who Experience, which has recently changed its name the Doctor Who: Exposition) out did themselves once again flooding the area, making it a huge pool of water complete with inflatables to cruise on for the stage area of our party. The stage and dance floor were on a giant deck.
Traditionally our meet ups start with TARDIS tours across various Doctor Who themed areas of Second Life led by Victor. This time we did things a bit different. Instead we had a Podshock TARIDS Mod Exposition taking place in that time period. I had the pleasure and honour of being one of the judges for it along with our own DWP Correspondent Ian Bisset @The6thDoctor and the owner of Hands of Omega (one of the leading TARDIS simulator providers in Second Life), Sen Pixie. Together we explored various TARDIS console mods along with the rest of their interior and chose the best within three categories.
The Loss of an Icon: Nicholas Courtney
It's been more than a couple weeks now since word first traveled across Twitter of the sad news that we lost Nicholas Courtney. For many we us, we were in disbelief and shock. If you heard the latest episodes of Doctor Who: Podshock or The Sonic Newsdriver, you will know that I was literally on my flight back from attending Gallifrey One 2011 in Los Angeles when word first came to me. After such a 'Doctor Who high' that was Gallifrey One, to have this news come on its heels... well, it's never a good time for news like this, but we can be grateful it was after, not during the convention. I want to thank Correspondent Graeme Sheridan @The2ndDoctor for posting the news to our site (see: R.I.P. The Brigadier, Nicholas Courtney Dies at Age 81). I had meant to follow it up, posting some of my thoughts, but I found it difficult to do. I was even dreading having to record the next episode of The Sonic Newsdriver only because I would have to report it. Though now that has come to pass.

Comic Relief Mini-Adventure
At short notice it has been announced by the BBC that there will be a specially written mini-Doctor Who story for Comic Relief this year. Although there have been several special Children in Need adventures this will be the first for Comic Relief since "The Curse of the Fatal Death" back in 1999 whilst the show was on its rather long hiatus. Like "Curse of the Fatal Death" this years special has been written by Steven Moffatt and will feature The Doctor, Amy and Rory. It will be screened during the live charity appeal on 18th March 2011 and will consist of two, four minute episodes (yup, there will be a cliffhanger).
