I think it would be best for Romana to have survived, just because of the dramatic potential of the Doctor meeting her again. However, {Spoiler}
she didn't appear to be on Gallifrey in Hell Bent and I think she would have done SOMETHING if she was. Although she could have left AFTER they were unfrozen.
Unless she does something that got up the Doctor's nose during the War and was on The List in "Heaven Sent". Or she visited him and realised he was genuinely insane at that point and ran, knowing that a sane Doctor committed genocide, an insane one could do anything. oorr she was the General. bemoaning having to put up with three Doctors and "not knowing when I was well off", being sniffy about testosterone post-regeneration and trusting the Doctor to the point of giving up a regeneration do seem "Romana" things to do. I just can't see the Doctor shooting Romana though. |

I think Romana's fate will remain forever shrouded in mystery. |

I just can't see the Doctor shooting Romana though. I can't see him shooting anyone for sheer convienirnce sake. he was, most people suggest, actuslly insane at the point after realising (at the very least realising, if not actuslly remembering) he was effectively tortured by the Time Lords for four billion years. |

I'd rather her not be the General. I'd rather see the General continue to be her own character (also she's totally in Big Finish's license given that Ken Bones came before Peter Capaldi).
As for Romana, I haven't given up hope on her return to TV, so I wouldn't want BF to write her out completely. Also I don't think they'd shoot themselves in the foot like that when it comes to creating new stories.

Why have two really cool characters be one and the same when we can have two separate ones? Ken Bones is such a great presence. I'd love him to play The General in War Doctor stories. He's the head of the War Council so it's not like it wouldn't make perfect sense for him to show up unlike many fan-wants. Maybe he's a regenerated Cardinal Orlistra   |

Maybe he's a regenerated Cardinal Orlistra I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought the same thing. Ultimately, Ollistra seems far more of a schemer than anything (if the Gallifrey series had played out differently, they could have called her "Cardinal Darkel"), but regeneration being what it is, it's a distinct possibility. |

I'd like to see her deposed and imprisoned, and then rescued from under Dalton/Rassilon's nose by Braxietel. This. Definitely this. But purely for personal reasons. KD |

I hate that bad fan-fic idea of her becoming President. It's a total repudiation of the entire point of her original character arc. I declare it non-canonical crap! |

Oh, you're going to overrule all the BBC licensed material that's already been written? |

Maybe she travelled to Earth and hid in a Siluruan shelter, chameleon arched to think her name's Vastra.

In the IDW comic strip The Forgotten the Tenth Doctor notes that things went well for her "... until the Time War". However this was back in 2008/2009 when not much of the Time War was known aside from some grim comments, mentions of Lovecraftian horrors and some of the collateral damage.

While Romana is my favourite character, I disagree with most people here and think she probably should have died in the time war. The amount of character development from Apocalypse Element and then all through the Gallifrey series makes me think that she would have died before she handed power to Rassilon, and I don't think she would have let Gallifrey fall while she was president. Her character arc would probably be strongest if she was killed trying to defend her planet, either from Rassilon's political machinations or from Dalek fire.
That said, the idea of her being rescued by someone-Brax/Narvin/Compassion/random person she would hate to be indebted to, like Arkadian- is a great one. Hopefully nothing happens to her soon though, I love having her around.

The Experience opens with Lalla Ward providing voiceover as a matrix archive recording of the Lord President of Gallifrey presenting the history of Gallifrey. It was a pretty cool moment to have Lalla and Peter Capaldi in the same production even if he doesn't actually appear.
