Uh, I'm not sure what you're referring to. The show has always been written in "such a manner". The TARDIS takes him to times and places where their happens to be a disaster going down where he would be really helpful in stopping. That has always, always been true, ever since the very first season.

The writers back then weren't thinking "oh, the TARDIS takes him to these places on purpose", but the "convenient disaster, yo!" formula has always been a narrative conceit --nothing wrong with that, all shows have them --and ever since the TARDIS was confirmed to be alive (which was well back in the classic era), fans -- yes oldschool fans -- have theorized this quite seriously as the explanation for that narrative conceit, since chalking it up to coincidence was seriously stretching things. How is the show "written in such a manner" that makes that particular feature of the show any different than it ever was, except making the fan theory canon rather than implied?

Also, er...implicated in what "stupid soap opera melodrama?" The episode shown here is a pretty heavy riff on the Hartnell era episode The Aztecs, where Barbara had a moral crisis and conflict with the Doctor very similar to Donna's in this episode, and several other "not allowed to change history" storylines from the Classic series.
