Admittedly I think the character would have worked a lot better without the unrequited love angle. It does seem a bit strange that the production team talk of hard it will be for the audience to accept Rose's replacement, only to introduce the new character as quite similar in a lot of superficial ways. Both being young girls from London, Martha getting the snog in her first episode, the invite mentioning that he travels through time, Martha having a crush. It would probably have been better to have had a really different companion like Donna or Jack for the season following Rose's departure, and then introduced Martha a little later on.
But I don't understand why fandom is acting so much like spoilt children, and calling RTD such hateful names *sighs* I mean maybe if series three really was the end for Martha, but judging by the spoiler pics for TW, her character is shaping up to get even more awesome development soon, and they are far from casting her character aside. Not that I agree that the Doctor did that either. I thought he was much nicer to Martha than fandom generally allows, and Martha's own main issue there was the lack of romantic love, which was really nobodys fault. It just happens that way sometimes
