I think that had to do with the actress. Danny really wasn't written well and most times I felt like a scene with him was out of place. I generally like the other "minor" (but recurring) characters on the show like Wilf, Nardole, Capt. Jack, etc because at least they were written well.

It kind of seemed like he was there solely to be a side story for Clara.

Exactly. I am fine if the companion does not have any love interest. Or okay if the companion has one but needs to be incorporated well into the show the way Rory was to Amy.

Yep, Rory was a part of the action. As it was, Danny as Clara's boyfriend only needed to be referenced and occasionally seen when she was around. For how much he was around, he was involved way too late.

Very true. I really didn't feel his presence at all on the show. He kind of appeared when it was only convenient for the storyline.

I didn't think there really was a hint of romance between Clara and the Doctor. The soldier angle was kinda annoying.

Yeah the whole thing just wasn't written well.

Yep, and if they had committed to him as a character then I could have bought that, but they didn't.

I thought the first ep of Clara as a companion was okay but not my favorite.

Yeah it was weird and because I was "binge-watching" that time, the ep felt off for me after being heartbroken over Amy & Rory's exit.
