Millie Gibson’s Future As Ruby is Unclear
Millie Gibson’s recent comments caused some confusion about Ruby Sunday’s future on the show.
Her departure from ‘Doctor Who’ was announced earlier. However, she talked about Ruby’s look in ‘season two’ and expressed her excitement about upcoming episodes in an interview with Doctor Who Magazine:
“I think the sixties episode will blow people away. I think that’s my favorite, personally. It’s a really cool episode with cool costumes. Any of the era episodes are always pretty iconic, aren’t they? It’s good because it’s usually only the companions that get new costumes, but that season, the Doctor changes his outfit as well. I’m always blown away by the make-up team and the costume team; they’re so good. I love Ruby’s season two look as well. I’m so lucky.”
‘Doctor Who’ previously announced Varada Sethu as Gatwa’s new companion starting from Season 15. Production photos already showed the duo in action.
