Are Ruby Sunday or New DOCTOR WHO Companion Belinda Chandra in the Christmas Episode?

by

As a long-time enthusiast of the enchanting and time-traveling adventures of Doctor Who, I must say that this year’s Christmas special was nothing short of delightful! The introduction of Joy as the Doctor’s brief new companion added a fresh twist to the storyline, making it an exciting standalone adventure for fans.

In “Joy to the World,” the 15th incarnation of Doctor Who teams up with a fresh character named Joy for a short-lived escapade. During this holiday special, they combat against Villeguard and an ominous suitcase that could erase humanity. As usual, the Doctor emerges victorious, while Joy discovers renewed life in a different form. Viewers were left speculating whether Ruby Sunday or Belinda Chandra, portrayed by Varada Sethu, would make an appearance in the 2024 Christmas special of Doctor Who.

Indeed, you’ll find Ruby Sunday making an appearance in this year’s Christmas special, although it’s just a fleeting moment towards the end. She catches sight of the brightest star in the night sky due to Joy’s selfless act, and at that instant, she phones her mother. The Doctor seems to reminisce about their old friendship throughout the episode, hinting that Ruby will reappear in the next season of Doctor Who. As showrunner Russell T Davies shared in a recent interview, “The set for her flat was still there, right next to UNIT HQ. It’s all under one roof… The resources were available, and it was impossible to resist bringing Millie [Gibson] back again. I enjoy the fact that she isn’t mentioned in the listings or credits. So it should have come as a delightful surprise for fans!

In this episode, we don’t get to see Belinda Chandra making her debut as Doctor Who. Instead, the story revolves around the Doctor and companions Anita, Trev, and Joy. This allowed us an exciting glimpse into a John Smith-like adventure for the Doctor, serving as a gentle reminder that while the Doctor’s thought process may not always be correct.

Now, the countdown is on for Doctor Who season two!
