In a glittering twist of time and space, Ncuti Gatwa recently shared some fascinating insights about his Doctor Who character, Ruby Sunday. As the newest companion to the fifteenth Doctor, Ruby isn't just any ordinary friend to our favorite Time Lord. Oh, no. She is set to be the pulsating heart of a cosmic mystery that even the Doctor himself is keen to unravel.
Gatwa hinted in a recent exclusive interview that the upcoming Doctor Who Christmas Special, intrepidly titled 'The Church of Ruby Road', is preparing audiences for a leap into a new dimension, where everything is not as it seems.
Exploring the enigma that Ruby Sunday is, Gatwa said, 'There's a mystery that surrounds her that The Doctor wants to get to the bottom of.' What's particularly fascinating about Ruby is that this mystery does not merely hover around her but carries over from the special episode into the vast expanse of season 1.
The Doctor's relationship with their companions isn't just a fundamental dynamic, it's a time-weaving tapestry that showcases the companions' evolution, their expanding horizons, and the transformations they undergo throughout their journey across the universe.
Ruby Sunday, being the Doctor's latest ally, is positioned intriguingly in this narrative arc. It’s not just about her personal journey and development, it’s about the cosmic jigsaw puzzle she seems to be a vital part of, setting the stage for a grand narrative in the upcoming season.
In the words of Gatwa, the dynamic between The Doctor and Ruby Sunday is akin to 'two close friends and troublemakers,' those pesky tricksters who refuse to stop giggling even after the stern teacher issues a warning.
Nonetheless, what sets Ruby Sunday apart from other companions is probably her status as an orphan. This hints that her origins might prove pivotal to the plotline that unwinds during the course of the season. There's something about Ruby's past that seems to be nudging at the fringes of the Doctor's curiosity.
So, dear Whovians: Brace yourselves! The upcoming season promises a mix of fun, mischief, adventure, and the beguiling enigma that Ruby Sunday is. She's not just any other companion; she's the inscription on the Doctor's puzzle box that he just cannot help but decipher!
