I will give you Donna.

However, Karen asked to written out in a way she could not be brought back full time.

I really don’t mind the relationship, so long as it isn’t stupid. The character has to be competent, intelligent, or at least willing to learn.

“Stupid” would be Peri, Mel, and Rose.

Unfortunately, with Davies writing, Rose overshadowed much, much better companions in Martha and Donna. And what happened to Donna was a travesty, though Jamie and Zoe from the 2nd Doctor era had the same fate.
