10 INSANE Doctor Who Season 1 Theories
2. We've Already Met Ruby's Parents
RTD recently teased that the Doctor and Ruby’s shared orphan status is “going to be the spine of the whole show” going forward. So we can expect plenty of parallels between the pair in Season 1.
We can also expect Ruby’s storyline to go places the Timeless Child couldn’t. For instance, we never found out who the Doctor’s birth parents were, so as to preserve the mystery. But we can fully expect to learn the identity of Ruby’s mother and father.
The question is, are they characters we’ve already met?
Mrs Flood, Susan Twist, and Kate Lethbridge-Stewart are obvious contenders for Ruby’s mother. But could she be someone from the show more broadly? What if Ruby’s parents are a previously established Whoniverse couple, such as the Metacrisis Doctor and Rose, or hell, the Doctor and River Song?
We did warn you that these theories would be crazy.
It’s not unheard of for the Doctor to have familial ties with companions. And if the Doctor was involved somehow, it would explain why he didn’t bother trying to stop the hooded figure at the church on Ruby Road: because he already knows the truth!
In any case, it’s definitely possible that the Doctor knows more about Ruby’s past than he’s letting on.
