Doctor Who

Summary

Since Millie Gibson is exiting afterDoctor Whoseason 14 , one monumental devotee hypothesis will in all probability never get the conclusion it merit . The 2023 Christmas special , “ The Church on Ruby Road , ” offered the first taste of what audiences could expect of Ncuti Gatwa ’s Fifteenth Doctor and their fresh comrade , Millie Gibson ’s Ruby Sunday – increasing the hype for what ’s to come . Additionally , the instalment inaugurate multiple questions about the identity element of Ruby ’s mother , Mrs. Flood ’s backstory , and whether the Goblins will repay in future episodes of Doctor Who .

After the 2023 Christmas special , fans start hypothesise thatDoctor Who ’s Mrs. Flood is Ruby Sundayfrom the future . This would explicate why she knows about the TARDIS , lives close to Ruby ’s phratry , and acts differently after the hobgoblin kidnap baby Ruby from the yesteryear . Unfortunately , it seems improbable the writer will straight off address this hypothesis after the announcement thatMillie Gibson will depart beforeDoctor Whoseason 15 .

The Mrs. Flood Doctor Who Theory Probably Won’t Ever Be Answered

With Millie Gibson leaving , the probability of the Mrs. Flood theory getting answered is slim to none . Doctor Whotypically plays the long plot , set up storylines a good amount of prison term before they hail to fruition . For example , Bad Wolf begin inDoctor Whoseason 1 but would n’t fully give off untilDoctor Who ’s fiftieth - day of remembrance special . Similarly , the phrase“silence will fall”weaves in and out of the Eleventh Doctor ’s storyline but does n’t reach its climax untilDoctor Who ’s 2013 Christmas special . address the Mrs. Flood coquette in one season would seem strange and rushed for the sci - fi show .

IfDoctor Whodidn’t conclude the Mrs. Flood plot line inDoctor Whoseason 14 , it would feel out of place to reassert her as quondam Ruby after the fellow traveler leave alone the show . There ’s no reason to feature Ruby Sunday so heavy in a plot line without Millie Gibson . Additionally , it would n’t make horse sense to bring back Mrs. Flood without Rubyat least appearing shortly . After all , they are next - threshold neighbors with a seemingly good rapport . As such , there ’s a good prospect that Mrs. Flood ’s identity will continue a mystery .

Russell T Davies and Steven Moffat both have distinct manner , but as RTD regress to Doctor Who for season 14 , he ’s borrowing a Moffat companion trick .

Other Doctor Who Companions Have Only Lasted One Season

During RTD ’s first era , bothMartha and Donna wereDoctor Whocompanionsfor only one season . These two companions seemingly departed because of changes in the creative commission , though Martha ’s leaving also could ’ve been related to actress Freema Agyeman ’s shoot schedule . Ruby fall in the same family as Martha and Donna could be a good sign . Both companionsreturn a handful of time after go out the Doctor . take this into circumstance , Gibson ’s Ruby might still appear inDoctor Whoa few time after exit as a full - time fellow .
