Cast as schoolteacher Danny Pink, Anderson's character is a Clara's (Jenna Louise Coleman) coworker at the Cole Hill School, but filming on Tuesday suggested that there might be something more between the two.
The BBC announced Anderson's casting just one day before the Emmerdale actor took part in his first public Doctor Who shoot. The sci-fi series set up shop outside a Cardiff Bay bar on Monday and Tuesday, and fans were treated to their first glimpse of Danny.

Clara, however, may not have been quite as thrilled to see him. According to eyewitnesses, the Impossible Girl stormed out of the pub where she appeared to be meeting Danny for a date (see video below). The Twelfth Doctor (Peter Capaldi) also made an appearance with his TARDIS, and the two had a brief conversation while staring at the bar.
A possible double for the Doctor has also been spotted donning the orange spacesuit previously worn by Ten (David Tennant) and Eleven (Matt Smith). It has been reported that the suit still bears the Sanctuary Base 6 insignia from season 2's "The Satan Pit."
It has not been specified which episode is currently filming. However, the cast is most likely still filming for episode 2, which is directed by Ben Wheatley.
Doctor Who is expected to return to BBC and BBC America this summer.
