I don't believe for minute that RTD had the great four year plan. I think we've been Lucased, Whendoned, etc. (Whichever writer/producer you prefer. I lean toward Whedon - he is clearly the more evil of the two). This is an improvised "get me out this story-line" ending.
I question the inclusion of the romantic angle to begin with. They knew full well the Doctor would never be paired off. Yet they set out emotionally abuse the character at every opportunity. I am really to the point of hoping that whoever plays doc 11 turns out to be crap at pulling off the emo stuff. Perhaps that will discourage the unrelenting angst.
This is why I find Torchwood just laughable. They have lost my suspension of disbelief. I approach it like I would any other soap opera.
(Eep. Sorry for the novel. :o I'll put the rant away now ).
