Doctor Who
Summary
If report claiming that Millie Gibson will only playDoctor Who ’s Ruby Sunday for a exclusive time of year are dead on target , season 14 now has three major problem to get over . Russell T Davies began his second Erolia minutilla asDoctor Whoshowrunner with a blast from the yesteryear , as David Tennant and Catherine Tate take back to the TARDIS for a brief farewell tour . Nevertheless , eye were always fixed toward Ncuti Gatwa play the Fifteenth Doctor inDoctor Whoseason 14 . On fellow traveller duties will be Ruby Sunday , portrayed by Millie Gibson , who made her debut in 2023 ’s Christmas special , " The Church on Ruby Road . "
According to a raw report , however , Millie Gibson will not return for season 15 , with Varada Sethu necessitate her place in theDoctor Whocast . This comes as something of a shock , as filming forDoctor Whoseason 15 has been underway for some time with no reading of such a significant cast shakeup beforehand . Ncuti Gatwa place a subtle acknowledgement to Gibson ’s exiton societal spiritualist adds believability to the reports , and not only is this a immense dashing hopes , it creates a serial publication of challenges for Gatwa and Gibson ’s first - and now only - season together .
Doctor Who has been run by a crop of fantastical actors going back several decades , and each variation has been both unique and memorable .
Modern Doctor Who’s One-Season Companions Are The Ones Everyone Forgets
One - shoot wonder like Martha Jones , Bill Potts , and Dan Lewis , on the other hand , are on a regular basis overlooked .
If recentDoctor Whohistory is any meter reading , being a one - season companion is not something actors should aspire to . Doctor Whostrives to make companion that make the same sort of impact as Rose Tyler , Amy Pond , and Clara Oswald - all characters who remained on the show for multiple seasons . One - hit wonders like Martha Jones , Bill Potts , and Dan Lewis , on the other hired hand , are regularly dominate . Indeed , most would have forgotten that at least one of the above three even existed .
Donna ’s return as a full - time character in Doctor Who season 4 , due to popular demand , resulted in her have a much big presence than originally plan .
The immensely popular Donna Noble was technically a companion forDoctor Whoseason 4 only , but can not truly be debate a exclusive - season TARDIS - passenger . Donna was only to begin with suppose to appear in a single episode - 2006 Christmas special " The Runaway Bride . " Her full - time riposte forDoctor Whoseason 4 by popular demand meant that Donna enjoyed a far majuscule front than intend , separating her post from Martha , Bill , Dan , and Ruby , who were all designed as full - time associate from the starting signal . Tate ’s return for the serial publication ofDoctor Who60th day of remembrance specials makes her " one - time of year fellow " position even more of a reach .
Millie Gibson ’s job inDoctor Whoseason 14 is now substantially more difficult . The actress has to make the same kind of wallop Billie Piper , Karen Gillan , and Jenna Coleman made across two or three seasons , but in the same clip frame afforded to Freema Agyeman , Pearl Mackie , and John Bishop .
Ruby Sunday Is Involved In Several Major Doctor Who Mysteries
Millie Gibson ’s short stay inDoctor Whomight have been less problematic if Ruby Sunday was as a run - of - the - pulverization companion joining the Doctor on a whim . Thanks to a lore - heavy festive debut , this is not the case . “The Church on Ruby Road " set Ruby up with two sizable mysteries : her unsung parenthood , and her fourth wall - come apart next door neighbour . If Ruby Sunday will be leavingDoctor Whoafter season 14 , both storylines postulate to be wrap up up before Varada Sethu moves her suitcases into the TARDIS .
SinceDoctor Whois already swim in dissonant mysteries - Meep ’s Boss , the One Who Waits , the unknownhand that pluck up the Toymaker ’s tooth , the Toymaker ’s legion , the Doctor ’s genuine nursing home planet , etc . - there is no guarantee that time of year 14 will have time and blank to conclude Ruby ’s enigmatic arc in a substantial mode . If anyDoctor Whocompanion involve multiple seasons to in full unpack their theatrical role , it was Ruby Sunday .
Millie Gibson’s Doctor Who Exit Wastes Her Potential With Ncuti Gatwa’s Fifteenth Doctor
Arguably the biggest problem with Millie Gibson leavingDoctor Whois the huge waste of potential after such a promising debut in " The Church On Ruby Road . " While not exactly reinventing the bike when it comes to RTD - epoch familiar , Gibson ’s Ruby was endear , peculiar , and most significant of all , had a dynamite dynamic with Ncuti Gatwa ’s Fifteenth Doctor . With all due deference to the tattle hobgoblin , Gatwa and Gibson ’s amusing back - and - forth shew the most watchable element of 2023 ’s Christmas sequence , and carried huge hope for their future to come inDoctor Whoseason 14 and beyond .
Most regeneration of The Doctor in Doctor Who are accompanied by multiple companions . But each seems to have one they ’re most warm or attach to .
The chemistry was unquestionably unassailable enough to last multiple seasons , and it look very much like Ruby Sunday would become the Fifteenth Doctor ’s define companion , just as Jamie was to the Second , Sarah Jane was to the Fourth , Ace was to the Seventh , Amy was to the Eleventh , etc . sleep with that Ruby will be put back forDoctor Whoseason 15 tap the jazz properly out of those sails , and the knowledge that her time is special could even hold audiences back from becoming to the full invested in the Fifteen and Ruby partnership .
