The word "Spoilers" is one of the most attractive words on the Internet, especially for fans of Doctor Who, aka Whovians. We of course know that this was just one of the great catchphrases of iconic character River Song, portrayed by Alex Kingston. For this reason, we are pleased to share some exciting "spoilers" with you today! BBC announced the news this week that Kingston is set to reprise her role as Amy Pond and Rory Williams' daughter, the Doctor's wife, the one and only Professor River Song! According to reports, she won't appear in the 2015 season nine episodes, but instead this holiday season's Christmas Special opposite Peter Capaldi! Read more on this news below.

According to Gamma Squad, BBC announced that filming of the highly anticipated Christmas Special starts this week in Cardiff, with showrunner Steven Moffat as the writer and directed by Douglas Mackinnon (Doctor Who, Sherlock).
"To be honest, I did not know whether River would ever return to the show, but here she is, back with the Doctor for the Christmas special," Kingston told the BBC this week about her reprisal. "Steven Moffat is on glittering form, giving us an episode filled with humour and surprise guest castings. I met Peter for the first time at Monday's read through, we had a laugh, and I am now excited and ready to start filming with him and the Doctor Who team. Christmas in September? Why not!"
Kingston starred alongside former Doctor Who lead Matt Smith during her reign as Song, and one episode with David Tennant as the Doctor. This Christmas, we'll get to see how she reacts to her husband's new form: Peter Capaldi.
As you can imagine, River Song is currently a top trending topic on Twitter. Let's take a look at some reactions right here:

Half my Twitter feed is "Hey, cool! River Song!" while the other half is "Oh, no! River Song!". — Matthew Dow Smith (@matthewdowsmith) September 2, 2015
Thrilled that River Song is returning to #DoctorWho & it's trending. Somewhat surprised "Spoilers" and "Hello Sweetie" aren't trending.
