Hopefully the character gets a good farewell. I hope this wasn’t another Eccleston situation.

Can you elaborate or is it a large enough situation that some basic googling can find for me?

Christopher had a public falling out with the creators and writers, and has refused to return for any cameos or specials. The whole story has been covered in the news (google will tell you everything that’s known, along with several rumors) but that’s pretty much all you need to know.
He wasn’t particularly beloved in his episodes, and whether that’s due to writing or acting is a part of the dispute.
It didn’t help his case that his replacement, David Tennant, gave the consensus favorite performance in the role since the revival.

He wasnt beloved? Really?
I remember him often taken a good chunk of people to consider him the best doctor.
I ve just recently rewatched first reboot season and while the show shows age and low budget, his doctor is absolutely amazing, he is so naturally alien-quirky.

Not particularly. I liked him, but I don’t know anyone who likes him best.
