Mrs. Flood Mystery of Doctor Who Gets Update From Showrunner & Star "Good Times with Mrs. Flood To Come".
Russell T Davies and Anita Dobson discuss the present situation of the enigma of Doctor Who's Mrs. Flood after the dramatic disclosure of the character in the recent finale. Though it would be shown that Dobson has secret knowledge of the Time Lord, which leaves viewers wondering her actual identity, Dobson debuted in "The Church on Ruby Road" as the apparently average neighbor to the Sunday family. Flood made sporadic appearances in season 14, then appeared in a guest role spanning the two-part finale "The Legend of Ruby Sunday/Empire of Death," which offered further indications.
Davies and Dobson tackled the continuing enigma of Mrs. Flood into season 15 with Doctor Who: Unleashed, after season 14 brought the mystery of Ruby Sunday (Millie Gibson) and the One Who Waits close. Although the showrunner affirmed that Flood was not part of Sutekh's plan, Davies did hint that she would be crucial in season 15, while Dobson noted Flood as always changing.
What Mrs. Flood Tells Us About Doctor Who Season 14
Although she only made a few appearances in Doctor Who Season 14, the already available episodes nevertheless give some clues about her actual identity outside of her first TARDIS knowledge tease. Flood gave much weight to her staying away out of sight in both "73 Yards" and "The Legend of Ruby Sunday," so implying that she was deliberately avoiding making herself known to any body or organization. Some additional lines, though, might have exposed more about what she is exactly.
Flood changed her voice to an upper-class-esque accent and demonstrated amazing insight of Sutekh's character and events still to come in her interaction with Cherry Sunday. Moreover, Flood questioned Cherry's beliefs before she and Cherry become victims of Sutekh's dust, stating she meant to be strong enough to question a god. Perhaps Mrs. Flood could be included into Davies's Doctor Who pantheon given these remarks demonstrating Flood's somewhat omniscient and ambitions of godhood herself.
Does Mrs. Flood possess time Lord ability?
From Mrs. Flood's first episode in the show, the mystery about her has enthralled Doctor Who viewers. Although the actual nature of the persona is still unknown, several hints and signals strewn across season 14 have given suggestions of her special powers and drives.
Mrs. Flood obviously knows the Time Lord and the TARDIS, but it is not known whether she herself is a Time Lord. Russell T. Davies, the showrunner, has attested to her lack of involvement in Sutekh's scheme He also jokes, though, that she has "such plans" of her own and that "astonishing reveals" are just waiting. This implies Mrs. Flood may have a secret purpose and will be very important in season 15.
Mrs. Flood's Future within Doctor Who
Although Doctor Who Season 14 addressed several questions, it is certain that Mrs. Flood's enigma would remain long-term mystery across Davies's new era. Many would question if Flood may be another enemy devised to fit Davies' more fanciful approach to the show when the One Who Awaits is revealed as an advanced Sutekh. Whichever she is, both Davies and Dobson's tease suggests that Flood will be more visible throughout Doctor Who Season 15.
Among Doctor Who viewers, Mrs. Flood's character has grown to be a central focus of interest and conjecture. Her mysterious past and cryptic character have spurred a great deal of conjecture and debate on her actual identity and place in the great scheme of the Doctor Who universe. Fans are excitedly waiting for Mrs. Flood's secrets to be revealed as the show enters season 15 and their ramifications for the Doctor and his friends's future.
