Along withevery player to recreate the Doctor , there ’s an even retentive list of those who have portrayed one of the Doctor of the Church ’s various companions . Russell T Davies may have given the role of Ruby Sunday to Millie Gibson , but he ’s replace her just as willingly .
Gibson made herDoctor Whodebut during the 2023 Christmas special , " The Church on Ruby Road . " Ruby shares a lot of similarities with her predecessors , specially Billie Piper ’s Rose Tyler . However , Ruby also has a deep backstory . In her first instalment , Gibson ’s character was expunged from the timeline and then restore . She also has no information on her parturition parent or any biological family member . Whilemany facets of Ruby ’s character are yet to be explored , her spell onDoctor Whoseason 14could already serve as her farewell . On the other hand , Humphrey Davy has used very similar magic trick before .

Although many of Davy ' momentary companions appeared in specials , the showrunner did make purpose of the casting technique in other instances . Davies assigned Nine and Rose a few companions who stay for slightly longer than a single instalment . For model , John Barrowman ’s Captain Jack Harkness travels with Nine and Rose for a respectable run inDoctor Whoseason 1 . Davies ' long list of companions shows he prefers to keep the dynamical brisk between the active Doctor and their fellow traveller . As such , Millie Gibson ’s exclusive - time of year stretch onDoctor Whois nothing new .
Jack Harkness ' exit led to the start ofTorchwood , aDoctor Whospinoff lead by Barrowman and created by RTD .
Millie Gibson’s Doctor Who Exit Doesn’t Mean Ruby Won’t Return After Season 14
Past Doctor Who companions regularly return to the show
AlthoughDavies does n’t seem to like having a fellow overstay their welcome , he ’s more than willing to bring them back at a later degree . For example , Martha Jones may not have been the Doctor ’s fellow afterDoctor Whoseason 3 , but she still returns for a run of episodes during season 4 . Rose also returns in season 4 after being written out in theDoctor Whoseason 2 finale .
Sir Humphrey Davy ' late restoration to the showrunner ’s chair include the contiguous return of Catherine Tate ’s Donna Noble in theDoctor Who60th - anniversary special in 2022 , 14 year after Tate ’s old appearance . So , as shown by RTD ’s retiring work , it ’s very potential that Ruby ’s loss at the remainder ofDoctor Whoseason 14 wo n’t be her last appearance . She may not be the consistent companion in future installing , but she can still feature as an authoritative part of the story .
Doctor Who Needs To Solve Its Big Ruby Mysteries Before Millie Gibson Leaves
The clock is ticking on getting answers about Ruby
At present , there are several burning questions about Millie Gibson ’s Ruby Sunday . Before season 14 ends , the show has to provide some answers . For instance , the mystery story surroundingRuby ’s birth mother inDoctor Whois clearly give out to educate into a major secret plan twisting , and one that will bilk spectator if they ’re leave hang until season 15 . However , Ruby ’s lineage is n’t the only loose end that needs tying up before she leaves .
Doctor Who has had many companions in the modern series , but eventually , they all move on . Here is our lean of their exits ranked from uncollectible to good .
" The Church on Ruby Road " introduced another newfangled character called Mrs. Flood , and while it ’s very likely she has some form of tie to Ruby , the nature of the connection has yet to be resolved . Davy is very good at sewing a story semen and only addressing it at a much late date , but the questions about Mrs. Flood will hopefully be addressed preferably rather than subsequently . When Ruby is no longer a full - time portion ofDoctor Who , the interest group in Mrs. Flood may fall .
