Millie Gibson’s role as Ruby Sunday in Doctor Who will be significantly reduced in the upcoming series, according to The Mirror. The 20-year-old actress, who made an emotional departure in the latest finale, will appear only briefly in 2025 episodes before being replaced by Varada Sethu.
However, her character is expected to make a comeback in the future. Despite this shift, Gibson remains busy, starring in a new adaptation of The Forsyte Saga as Irene Forsyte, alongside an ensemble cast.
This transition marks a new chapter for Gibson as she explores diverse roles outside the TARDIS. Millie made her much-anticipated debut in the 2023 Christmas special, but after it was reported that she had been dropped after just one series, fans were concerned.
Showrunner Russell T Davies reassured viewers, explaining, “This is a pause.” Gibson’s involvement in The Forsyte Saga, based on John Galsworthy’s novels, showcases her versatility and dedication to her craft.
