She butts into stories where she doesn\\\'t have much reason to be; both \\\"A Time of Angels/Flesh and Stone\\\" and \\\"The Pandorica Opens/The Big Bang\\\" would have worked just fine without her. I don\\\'t think she\\\'s TheWesley yet, but a few more appearances and a little more fanbase hatred and she will be.
It doesn\\\'t help that Moffat has written himself into a corner. It would have been possible to drop her after her original appearance in \\\"Silence in the Library/Forest of the Dead\\\"--her retro-relationship with the Doctor could have been brushed off by way of TimeyWimeyBall--but now that she\\\'s become a recurring character, Moffat is committed to developing that retro-relationship, and it\\\'s not at all clear how he can manage it without completely hijacking the show.

If that lukewarmness devolves into hatred, and she starts popping up a lot in stories where she doesn\'t really belong, she will become TheWesley. I wouldn\'t say she\'s there yet, but it\'s certainly a danger.
