"I cannot believe the relationship between Clara and Danny, it is just really extremely badly written. No love, no passion, just meh. "
No, there's love. We know that because they say it and cry. They must be in love because she stabs the Doctor in the back because she has a paddy about him falling under a car. I think we're supposed to tkae it as read or something though because - as you say - there's sod all happened on screen to make us believe they have any emotions for each other, aside from some empty words. It's utterly unconvincing.
