Ruby and Belinda will meet
The addition of a new Doctor Who companion in season 2 is not unusual for the show, which often gives the Doctor multiple companions at once. However, the presence of Belinda and Ruby in the teaser confirms that Millie Gibson will indeed return alongside Varada Sethu. There were original rumors that Gibson would leave after season 14an idea that was compounded by the character meeting her family and leaving the Doctor behind at the end of the season.
It was entirely possible that Ruby Sunday would be a season-long game Doctor Who companion, like the show set a precedent for short-lived companions as early as the third season from the original series, which debuted in 1965 and featured three companions – Katarina (Adrienne Hill), Sara Kingdom (Jean Marsh) and Dodo Chaplet (Jackie Lane) – who never returned. However, this teaser – which shows Ruby with her family – promises that this isn't the end of the road for Millie Gibson, who showrunner Russell T Davies promises will join The Doctor and Belinda on their latest adventures.
