"Rogue" features a holographic view of Richard E. Grant's visage among every live-action actor currently performing the Doctor. The moment pays homage to Grant's vocal performance as an other Ninth Doctor for the 2003 animated series, Doctor Who: Scream of the Shalka. Although at first there was some uncertainty about whether the show would be included into the main timeline, when the 2005 revival was announced it became a self-contained, non-canonical adventure. Russell T Davies has featured Grant's face in live-action, therefore a suitable Cameo from the actor feels natural.
Though his presence could be felt sooner rather than later, it is unlikely the Shalka Doctor will reappearance before the end of Season 14 given all the riddles now in motion in Doctor Who's Disney period. Grant's portrayal of the role is sometimes referred to as the "Shalka Doctor," after Christopher Eccleston formally became the Ninth Doctor. Though his "Rogue" cameo bears too many ramifications for it to be merely a simple acknowledgment to Grant's earlier contributions to the franchise, at present the Shalka Doctor's place in the chronology in connection to Ncuti Gatwa is unknown. Though his influence could be felt sooner rather than later, with all the secrets in motion in Doctor Who's Disney era, it seems unlikely the Shalka Doctor will return before the end of season 14.
Just hinted to on the show, a version of the Doctor formerly purged from the Doctor Who canon basically makes it a question of time before a particular actor returns to join the cast of Doctor Who season 15 or beyond. Though it's quite easy to overlook, the hidden iteration of the Time Lord shows so quickly in Doctor Who Season 14, episode 6, "Rogue," but pausing reveals a familiar name.
Of every actor performing the Doctor, the most well-known have worked in live-action. Still, certain iterations of the primary character in the franchise have only surfaced on other media. Though one incident in "Rogue" suggests at least some of the stories outside the show are on the brink of being merged into the main continuity, generally only the live-action action element of the Doctor Who universe is regarded as unquestionably canon.
Grant isn't only portrayed one version of the Time Lord, hence he is obviously qualified for the position of the Doctor. Apart from the Shalka Doctor, the actor performed an other Tenth Doctor in a 1999 Children in Need spoof titled, "The Curse of Fatal Death." Before Grant's visage was used in "Rogue," neither of his past Doctor appearances had any effect on the show's overall universe. Richard E. Grant is now closer than ever to permanently altering the core Doctor Who canon, third time around.
