In a surprising turn of events, Millie Gibson, who portrayed Ruby Sunday in Doctor Who season 14, has hinted at her potential appearance in season 15, despite her departure from the show being confirmed earlier this year. In an interview with RadioTimes, Gibson dropped hints about 'Ruby's season two look' and expressed her excitement about a specific episode in the upcoming season.
It was previously announced that Gibson would be leaving Doctor Who after just one season, with Varada Sethu announced as her replacement. Production photos for season 15 even showcased Sethu alongside Ncuti Gatwa's character, seemingly confirming Gibson's departure. However, her recent comments have left fans wondering if she will still have a role to play in the upcoming season.
Gibson's remarks about the 'sixties episode' in particular have piqued the interest of avid Doctor Who enthusiasts. She described it as her personal favorite, mentioning the cool costumes and alluding to a significant change in the Doctor's outfit during that season. This intriguing statement suggests that Ruby Sunday may still be part of the Doctor's adventures, despite the introduction of a new companion.
While it remains uncertain how Ruby will be involved in season 15, speculations have arisen that she could potentially be featured in the episode where Sethu's character was photographed. The set pieces in these images hint at an early-1960s setting, which aligns with the era-themed episodes that are typically iconic in Doctor Who history.
Doctor Who, initially premiered in 1963, has captivated audiences for decades with its science fiction tales. The show follows the adventures of the Doctor, a Time Lord who traverses time and space in the TARDIS, a remarkable interdimensional time-traveling ship. Along the way, the Doctor is accompanied by various companions, tackling challenges and preventing disasters.
One of the remarkable aspects of the show is the Doctor's ability to regenerate, allowing for the seamless transition between actors and introducing new personality traits to the character. The departure and replacement of companions are also a recurring theme, keeping the storyline fresh and dynamic.
As Doctor Who season 15 continues its production, the extent of Millie Gibson's involvement in the upcoming episodes remains a mystery. Fans eagerly await further updates and revelations to shed light on the fate of the beloved character Ruby Sunday and the adventures that lie ahead for the Doctor and his companions.
