 * ... that Steven Moffat "completely changed" the exit of Karen Gillan and Arthur Darvill's characters Amy and Rory in the upcoming Doctor Who episode, "The Angels Take Manhattan"?

 * Symbol question.svg May I suggest using a different hook? Maybe:
 * ALT 1 - ... that Amy Pond (Karen Gillan) was so upset about her exit from Doctor Who that she cried every time she read the script?
 * I'm only suggesting it because the first hook is rather vague. We don't know what he changed it from or to so it's just frustrating. Or maybe that's me. Anyway, good to go otherwise. PanydThe muffin is not subtle 12:09, 5 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Sure, that sounds better. Although I would say "Karen Gillan, who portrayed Amy Pond, was so moved by her exit from Doctor Who that she could not read the script without crying?" Just to clarify that it's the actor and not the character, and I reworded it to reflect the quote. Also "upset" has a negative connotation and as Gillan arranged the exit herself, she was apparently pleased but sad about it. Just to clarify. Glimmer721  talk 22:00, 5 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg In which case, just to save the prep mover time, final alt is!
 * ALT 2 ... that Karen Gillan, who portrayed Amy Pond, was so moved by her exit from Doctor Who that she could not read the script without crying? PanydThe muffin is not subtle 22:46, 5 September 2012 (UTC)
 * There was no link to the DYK article so I added one, on the text "her exit", but it could also go on "the script". M AN d ARAX  •  XAЯA b ИA M  22:53, 5 September 2012 (UTC)

Question: is this potentially an unwelcome spoiler for Dr Who fans? (I, for instance, know better than to look at the article about the next book in a series I'm reading, but I'd hate to run into a big spoiler accidentally because it was on the main page. Is this a case like that?) Lady  of  Shalott  00:46, 6 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Depends on how strict you definition of "spoiler" is. This season has been promoted as being their last, the fact that they were leaving was made public a long time ago, and there has been (and no doubt will be) some foreshadowing as the season continues.

 * Sorry, I don't keep up with the Bond movies. Who's Dr. Who? Drmies (talk) 01:34, 6 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Very funny. Glimmer721  talk 01:35, 6 September 2012 (UTC)
 * I don't think it's an issue; that's why I'm promoting it. Yes, it tells people that she's leaving the show, but all companions eventually do; if they click through, then they're curious about details of how and when, and unconcerned with spoilers. BlueMoonset (talk) 01:42, 6 September 2012 (UTC)
