What happened to The Doctor's granddaughter, Susan Foreman? What was her ultimate fate?
Is it possible that she'll make an appearance in the new (2005) Doctor Who?

Susan married a human in 22nd-century Earth.
She helped him rebuild the Earth after a Dalek invasion, and except for a brief period in The Five Doctors when she was scooped up by the Time Lords for a nefarious plan, she never again saw her grandfather on screen.
We don't know when or how she died. If the Ninth Doctor included Susan when he told Rose that his entire family died in the Last Great Time War, we don't know how she got back to Gallifrey.
There's not enough information to go on to say Susan couldn't return in New Who. Certainly Carol Ann Ford is still alive and connected to Doctor Who; she did some work for Big Finish audio productions, some 50th anniversary special work, and made a cameo in The Five(ish) Doctors Reboot.
Susan had some adventures in non-screen mediums, but they are contradictory and non-canon, so I won't go into them here.

I heard that 8 brought her back. And I think she's the TimeLady at this picture: doctorwhotv.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/…– MichelJun 12, 2014 at 3:11

@Michel Got a citation for that? Because RTD has said he wrote The Woman as the Doctor's mother, but acknowledged that she could be Susan--or Romana, or any other trustworthy Time Lady. I didn't consider that solid enough to include in the answer--a list of everyone who could be Susan is too open-ended and iterative a list for the SE format--but if you've got something more concrete I'd be delighted to add it in.– BESWJun 12, 2014 at 3:19

@BESW I agree with you, I just wanted to add it as a comment, since it's an assumption of my own. Maybe it'll help in the future, since the Time Lord/Lady are now back to the scene.– MichelJun 12, 2014 at 12:13
