I was just thinking to myself, what if characters departed in different stories compared to how they did actually depart.
My first thought was of Steven. What if he actually departed in the Massacre? I think its a much better scene they have in the Massacre over The Savages.
Another one is what if 10 actually regenerated in The Stolen Earth. Would certainly have been shocking.
And my last one is what if 12 was actually evil in The Lie Of The Land and then got shot. And then he regenerated into Jodie Whittaker. Would certainly have made the story different.

Clara leaves in Death in Heaven, dies offscreen shortly after Last Christmas and the final scene of that special has the TARDIS arrive in Shona's flat.

Jo leaves the Doctor to marry King Peladon and sparks a feminist revolution on Peladon.
Sarah Jane joins Harry Sullivan on the train to London instead of taking the TARDIS.
Amy and Rory with their flat in London always keep their ears to the ground for the Doctor and while never traveling with him, always have an open door for their best friend.
Tegan never visits Amsterdam while the Omega incident occurs and never sees the Doctor and Nyssa again. She thinks of what might have been constantly.
Peri dies on Androzanni Major.

Peri dies on Androzani Major. Not that far fetched an idea with Holmes either. Jeez, imagine the Sixth Doctor on his own, newly reborn with the knowledge that he's failed his companion utterly. We wouldn't just have a dark Doctor, we'd have a positively grim one as well.
The Second Doctor is tricked by the Time Lords into materialising on Earth where his TARDIS is locked down and his knowledge of time travel removed. His two companions ease him through his regenerative trauma, he does his best to try and mediate between the humans and their reptile cousins, solves the mystery of the Mars Probe abductions and many other affairs. His final end comes when the Inferno Project of a parallel Earth is flooded with molten lava from the planet's core. The journey back and the trauma of such an event causes him to regenerate... The psychic struggle for control of the universal mind between the Fourth Doctor and Skagra ends with a Phyrric victory for both. The astroengineer is imprisoned within his own ship for all eternity while his opponent collapses on the floor of Shada. His mental and physical exhaustion total, it is only the quick thinking of Romana and K9 that ultimately saves his life and allows him to regenerate (using the equipment in one of the isolation cells originally intended for prisoners)... With Haroun killed in his final confrontation with El-Akir, Barbara refuses to abandon the young girl she swore to defend with her life and chooses to remain in Palestine, tending to the members of the former harem as their tutor and protector. Ian remains to defend Barbara from the dangers of the twelfth century... The First Doctor is strangled to death by Maxtible when he is attempting to flee the civil war that has erupted in the Dalek city. He dies triumphantly staring down the reconditioned scientist, safe in the knowledge that this will be the Final End of the Daleks and all their vile rhetoric will have been for nothing... Outraged and despairing over his jailor's destruction, Kane lowers the sun shield protecting Iceworld's control room from the intense radiation bombardment of the star beyond. The Sixth Doctor sacrifices his life, suffering from fatal third-degree burns ensuring that Mel, Ace and Glitz survive the holocaust... |

Rose Tyler decides not to join the Ninth Doctor after all and she spends the rest of her days wondering if she made the right choice after all. Or maybe she departs after the Doctor regenerates, unable to cope with the change. That might have been a bit hard for the show to recover from, though, given how I think a lot of new fans introduced to the show by Eccleston might be tempted to agree with Rose and leave the show with her. I didn't particularly care for how the character was handled during Series 2, but I think in the long run it would have done more harm for her to depart after Series 1 than good.
Another alternate departure I still think should have happened - that scene toward the end of Last Christmas between old Clara and Twelfth Doctor. I really feel like most people would look back on Clara far more positively if this had been the last hurrah, as I think was intended. It just felt right. There were places to take the character past that point, sure - her becoming more and more like the Doctor for instance - and I would have been alright if Face the Raven had been her final story. But it wasn't, unfortunately, and I have to disagree with how the character was ultimately handled in Hell Bent.
Ace never rejoins the Doctor after she leaves in Love and War. I thought it was a the perfect sendoff for the character and seemed like the only conclusion for the way the Seventh Doctor constantly involved her in his schemes. I think the fact that she continues to travel with the Doctor after all that sort of weakens the impact of what happened, honestly. I need to read Deceit and Set Piece so I can read the rest of her arc, so perhaps I'll feel different once I've gotten around to that.
I have read that there was a proposed story back in the 70s that would have had Sarah Jane dying in North Africa at an abandoned French Legion outpost. Would have been a terrible shame for the character to have ended that way, considering what the character went on to do and it definitely would have been one of the most tragic moments of the show. Still, I'm glad we have The Hand of Fear instead.

Hex stays on Pelichan at the end of A Death in the Family. His emotional arc around his mother and the Doctor's connection with her is resolved. He's even got a love interest waiting for him.

There’s a horror movie called Alien? That’s really offensive. No wonder everyone keeps invading you.

The Doctor is too late to save Nyssa at the end of Black Orchid.
As a result of the Sevateem's adaptations to her planet's atmosphere, Leela's larynx is not affected by helium and she is murdered at the end of The Robots Of Death.
The Doctor manages to restore the TARDIS to its original size at the end of Planet Of Giants and Ian and Barbara leave.
