After the season 14 conclusion, the issue of Millie Gibson's comeback as Ruby Sunday in Doctor Who Season 15 gets more convoluted. Ruby Sunday's first performance in "The Church on Ruby Road" set her importance; she had major parts in "Boom" and "73 Yards." Reports in early 2024, however, indicated Varada Sethu would be the friend for season 15. The BBC revealed a three-person TARDIS team comprising Gibson, but the season 14 ending begged concerns regarding Ruby's future.
Ruby and the Doctor bid farewell emotionally before the credits once she located her birth parents and acquired closure. This left viewers wondering whether Ruby's tale had really finished. Still, multiple signs point to she might not be gone for ever.
All the signs point to Millie Gibson's comeback in season 15, despite her traumatic departure. Gibson's own remarks regarding recording the upcoming season and the BBC's announcement of the Doctor having two companions in 2025 point to her likely presence in season 15. Rumored to be portraying Ruby's lover, Jonah Hauer-King has also been hired for season 15, thereby suggesting Ruby's ongoing presence.
Images from on-location shooting point to Hauer-King might be a nasty cult leader called Conrad. The delay in responding to the riddle of Mrs. Flood also suggests Ruby's return since Cherry Sunday, Ruby's grandmother, is the only one who knows Mrs. Flood's actual identity, motivating Ruby to see the Doctor once more.
Gibson's attendance is guaranteed, although her role might not be the conventional companion. The ending of Season 14, with the Doctor pledging to visit Ruby once more, suggests a change in their dynamic—both sad and hopeful. Should Ruby just go back to the TARDIS, the tearful farewell would have no purpose. This points to Ruby's having a different function in season 15.
One possibility is Varada Sethu becomes the main friend while Ruby stays in her time but helps the Doctor when he visits Earth. Ruby might also come into a threat—Mrs. Flood or Conrad—that calls for the Doctor's assistance, which would cause a reunion and introduce Sethu's character.
An essential component of the show, the Doctor's friends offer a human viewpoint on his exploits. Every friend offers to the TARDIS team special abilities, personalities, and experience. With two friends, Ruby and Varada Sethu, ready to offer their own viewpoints and stories to the show, the forthcoming season 15 offers an interesting dynamic.
Varada Sethu's position as a friend promises new narratives and vitality. Two friends let the TARDIS team have more complicated dynamics and connections. Ruby's possible supporting role and Mrs. Flood's mystery add to the interesting mix of known and unknown characters the Doctor will travel with.
From its 1963 launch, Doctor Who has enthralled viewers. The show's continuing appeal is found in its capacity to combine humor, science fiction, and fantasy with provocative ideas. Viewers of the Doctor's exploits are transported throughout time and space and exposed to many worlds, amazing alien civilizations, and gripping historical events. While the Doctor's regenerations offer a continuous aspect of renewal and excitement, the always shifting array of friends allows fresh viewpoints and emotional connections.
Entering its fifteenth season, Doctor Who keeps surprising and developing for its devoted audience. With Ncuti Gatwa as the Fourteenth Doctor and fresh companions like Ruby Sunday and Varada Sethu on board, a new era of adventures seems to be just waiting. Generations of fans have been inspired and delighted by the series's original mix of science fiction, fantasy, and time-travel.
