I'm actually quite looking forward to Donna's return; contrary to what some people have said, I don't think Martha's being shipped off to TW to make room for Donna's return. She was going to be out the door either way (for whatever reason good or ill one chooses to assign to it). Rather, I think if they'd imagined they could have had Catherine Tate in the first place we might never have had a Martha.
RTD did say that they were specifically laying it on thick with Donna in TRB because hers was a transient role. I'm thinking we're going to see her be a bit more along the lines of Tegan - grown-up, bristly and skeptical, but not without compassion.
I think regardless of one's opinion of the Doctor/Rose dynamic, it was only natural that thoughts of her predominated over this episode - some folks seem to forget that the special all takes place within just a few hours of their final farewell. schneef
