Oh, good lord! Here we go! And what did I tell you all...back in the Humperdinck days? RTD is unable to let go of his story because he screwed it up royally. However, since it seems he is clueless about exactly WHAT it was he screwed up and how to make his story work, he's going to go with explaining things to us. AGAIN!
You will remember a few posts ago, I mentioned how the Moff understood about how certain companions were important to the Doctor? Well, now...RTD is out to ruin those relationships as well...rewriting them to explain his views about women and romance and the Doctor.
One assumes so that his reworking of Sarah Jane makes some contextual sense and so that he can further justify the awful mess he made of things in his Rose/Ten storyline.
Here's a link to the article...IT DOES CONTAIN SPOILERS.

This will go on and on and on, my friends.
It will continue during the shows, after the show ends...into the Book Canon...and finally into the reboot of the show under new management in 20 years. Because storytelling doesn't work the way RTD wants it to work. You can't tell an epic love story about two people who do the impossible and then just end it by saying, "Oh, the hero just gives up...because...uhm...yes, well this particular thing really is impossible...and it's better for the heroine to NOT be with the man she loves, because that shows he loves her...or maybe he knows she would be even more unhappy with him. And even though she never has accepted her fate as he dictated it she will this time, because...uhm, yeah...let me explain..."
