Rumours

 * Davros's second in command is a Red Dalek Supreme, rumoured to be Dalek Caan upgraded or a mutated Harriet Jones. unlikely to be Dalek Caan, as pictures have shown a dalek that has been battered and the top half destroyed, rumoured to be Caan.
 * The Doctor becomes trapped in the Medusa Cascade, and Rose, Donna, Martha, Jack, Mickey and Sarah Jane must try to free him.
 * In a shock development the Red Dalek casing opens to reveal Harriet Jones as mother of all the new Daleks. Unlikely as the Daleks have no need for a 'mother' figure in their society, and human genetic materials on such a small scale would not aid them in creating new Daleks (the Daleks emperor made one Dalek out of every human)
 * Martha joins Captain Jack at Torchwood. Possible, as reports show Martha and Mickey leaving with Jack at the end of the episode. Also it is known that as of Exit Wounds, Jack needs a medic to replace Owen Harper.
 * Mickey joins Captain Jack at Torchwood. As the above, possibly to replace Toshiko Sato, as he has been known for his talents of hacking into secure government systems, such as in The Christmas Invasion when he hacked into the UNIT database.
 * RTD has hinted that Rose and the Doctor may get to finish their last interrupted conversation on Bad Wolf bay.
 * Apparently Donna does something really bad and is then hit by a car and loses her memory of the doctor. But the doctor says not to say anything to her about what she did because she couldn't live with herself if she knew what she had done
 * Rose will die fighting the Daleks as the Beast while possessing the Ood said in the episode The Impossible Planet that she would "die in battle".  ''Possible, but this depends upon how literally you take that statement. The Beast did say she would die "so very soon", and so this is not likely to be 2 years after saying it, then again he has lived since the beggining of time and 2 years will not seem that long. Also, she's listed as dead from the Battle of Canary Wharf in her world.  Army of Ghosts starts by Rose saying "This is the story of how I died."
