  If true it's an escape hatch for The Master down the road as well as the Doctors & Clara.

  That's not an official source, and references no official source. It's about as official as the poster they've mocked up featuring McGann.

  This doesn't sound true to me. I reckon the special will be a spiritual sequel as opposed to a direct one. It would be a bit silly to have this big event directly lead In from the last episode. Not every viewer will have watched it. The TARDIS will start somewhere fresh at the beginning I reckon.

  At the end of The Name of the Doctor, they were trapped in the Doctor's timeline though, so this will still have to be resolved somehow, be that a direct continuation, a flashback or even just a spoken explanation

  I don't think there was any implication that they were trapped, only that Clara couldn't get out without the Doctor guiding her.

  It makes sense for it to carry on from the last episode. G I started it by messing with the doctors timeline. Bound to be consequences.

  I'm not convinced that this sentence...
  
  The only way to escape is to reopen the lock that conceals the Doctor’s darkest day.
  
  ... hasn't been written by someone who writes for a living. It's just not right for a short synopsis.

  A concept such as Clara who has been about for as long as The Doctor, going by what has been seen in The Name Of The Doctor, she could have a plan maybe involving River.
  
  
  River- Clara, remember, tell the Doctor this, only this....
  (River whispers to Clara)
  Clara- Will he understand?
  River- Always

  Even if they were trapped - which is ambiguous at best, and not really an important story beat either way - but even if they were trapped, have you ever seen a Moffat two-parter?! Like hell it has to be resolved!! q:

  I believe the validity of the information referenced in the original post could best be summed up using Jim "The Dragon" Kelly's famous words to Mister Han in Enter The Dragon.
