9Mrs. Merridew in “Wild Blue Yonder”
“Don’t come back until you’ve had a good idea”
Susan Twist ’s firstDoctor Whoappearance was as Mrs Merridew in the second sixtieth anniversary extra , " Wild Blue Yonder " . Merridew was the housekeeper of Isaac Newton ( Nathaniel Curtis ) when the Fourteenth Doctor ( David Tennant ) and Donna Noble ( Catherine Tate ) landed their TARDIS on his apple tree . Thanks to the Doctor and Donna ’s carelessness , graveness is now called mavityin theDoctor Whouniverse . This has place up a serial - foresighted bow for the Doctor and Ruby , in which they too have had a cavalier approach to the butterfly stroke effect .
By masquerading as Isaac Newton ’s housekeeper , Susan Triad could deter him from going ahead with his theory of mavity .
This could mean that Susan Triad is using her Time Windows to even out mistakes made by the Doctor and their companions . By masquerading as Isaac Newton ’s housekeeper , Susan Triad could deter him from going ahead with his hypothesis of mavity . While " Space Babies " confirmed that mavity was still an established part of theDoctor Whouniverse , the Doctor stated that the pane in " Dot and Bubble " had anti - grav technology , suggest that the mavity variety has since been overturn .
8The Pub Heckler in “The Church on Ruby Road”
“Give it some welly!”
Susan Twist return in 2023’sDoctor WhoChristmas especial , as the heckler in the taphouse who tell Ruby ’s band to " Give it some welly!“after the hob rend the plug on their amp . The handwriting directions for this installment specifically referred to the fact that the same woman who played Mrs. Merridew would play the badgerer . Interestingly , Susan Twist ’s 2nd quality is the first of many who specifically interacts with Ruby , perhaps setting up a verbatim link between them .
It ’s possible that Ncuti Gatwa ’s choice of costume is a hint that it ’s the Doctor going back to confirm that Penny Pepper - Bean is the same woman in the gin mill at Christmas .
More interesting still is that the Doctor is wearing his costume from " Dot and Bubble " , albeit with the improver of a new chapeau . There have been many Dr. costumes this time of year , and hardly any have stuck around beyond one sequence . It ’s possible thatNcuti Gatwa ’s option of costumeis a hint that it ’s the Doctor hold up back to sustain that Penny Pepper - Bean is the same char in the public house at Christmas . While"The Devil ’s Chord " established that the Doctor had watched Ruby play keyboard at Christmas , " Dot and house of cards " was filmed first , so it ’s potential that the Beatles episode was pulled forward in broadcast guild .
" The Devil ’s Chord " established that six months had passed since the events of " Space Babies " .
doc Who is a show that ’s no stranger to the concept of a time saltation , but the first two installment of season 14 use the trope while keep it secret .
7Gina Scalzi in “Space Babies”
“…signing off, 56-56-22.”
Susan Twist ’s next theatrical role was Gina Scalzi , one of the Baby Station bunch member that leave behind a net substance for the Doctor and Ruby to examine . Twist ’s costume as Gina Scalzi was evocative of a Starfleet uniform , heighten " Space Babies"crossover betweenStar TrekandDoctor Who . However , it ’s unlikely that this is the import behind Susan Twist ’s appearing in " Space Babies " . It ’s interesting that she ’s one of the crew that left the babies behind , drawing a comparison with Ruby ’s own parent .
Is the combination of the child forsaking theme , and Ruby ’s showing of Gina ’s footage think to imply that Susan Triad is Ruby ’s mother ?
It ’s also deserving noting that , once again , Ruby is the person straight interacting with Susan Twist ’s part . The Doctor and Nan - E have already looked aside from the concealment by the fourth dimension Susan Twist ’s Gina Scalzi appear on - screen door . Is the combining of the child defection theme , and Ruby ’s viewing of Gina ’s footage supposed to connote that Susan Triad is Ruby ’s mother?The synopsis for " The Legend of Ruby Sunday " does pull link between Susan Triad ’s Time Windows and returning to Ruby Road on Christmas Eve , after all .
6Tea Lady in “The Devil’s Chord”
“That’s me, Margaret Lockwood in The Wicked Lady.”
Doctor Whoseason 14 , installment 2 , " The Devil ’s Chord " contain the most explicit reference to Susan Twist ’s potential role in the series . wrench wager the Tea Lady who rive off the Doctorby burden him half a poll for two cupful of tea . When the Doctor objects to the daylight robbery , the Tea Lady point of reference the Margaret Lockwood movie , The Wicked Lady . This feels like an overt reference to the fact that Susan Twist will be playingDoctor Whoseason 14 ’s antagonist .
There ’s also the infamous melodious number , " There ’s Always A turn At The End " , which further emphasizes Susan Twist ’s key role inDoctor Who ’s time of year 14 coda .
In theseason finale trailer , Susan Twist plays another type , a creepy looking grey lady , who could , like Margaret Lockwood , be trace as statuesque . There ’s also the infamous melodious number , " There ’s Always A Twist At The End " , which further emphasizes Susan Twist ’s central role inDoctor Who ’s season 14 close . " The Devil ’s Chord " also explicitly cite another Susan , the Doctor ’s granddaughter . In the first - ever sequence , " An Unearthly minor , " Susan claims to have created the name TARDIS.Could the Doctor ’s granddaughter also have created the name S TRIAD from the same initials ?
The First Doctor left his granddaughter , Susan Foreman , on Earth , but Doctor Who medium has provided several updates on her status since then .
5The Ambulance in “Boom”
“Sharp scratch”
Susan Twist was the font of the Ambulance on Kastarion 3 in Steven Moffat ’s " Boom " , and was therefore the avatar for the episode ’s honest baddie . " Boom " depict a planet lock in a made - up war that was being staged by the Villengard Algorithm . The notional warfare was design to maximize net profit for the intergalactic arms monger introduce in Steven Moffat ’s firstDoctor Whoscript . It ’s interesting that Susan Twist was playing the face of a tummy in " Boom " , because she ’ll be doing so again as Susan Triad inDoctor Who ’s season 14 finale .
… the seemingly ecological niche Steven Moffat Easter ball could really be a neat bit of foreshadowing for the Doctor ’s conflict with another villainous technical school ship’s company .
Therefore , the seemingly nicheSteven Moffat Easter eggcould actually be a keen turn of predict for the Doctor ’s difference of opinion with another villainous technical school company . Susan Triad is the face of S Triad Technology in " The Legend of Ruby Sunday " , and like Villengard , has bring home the bacon tech to military organizations , in this case UNIT.Triad Technology was first mention inDoctor Who ’s terminal 60th day of remembrance special , " The Giggle " in which Mel Bush ( Bonnie Langford ) name - check the governing body , setting up Susan Twist ’s major role in the conclusion .
4The Hiker in “73 Yards”
“Have I walked into something?”
Susan Twist ’s appearing as the tramp in " 73 Yards " is one of her more interesting cameo inDoctor Whoseason 14 . After she pop the question to speak to the mysterious woman stalk Ruby , the tramper shout and runs away , incriminate that she ’s too terrifying even for Susan Twist . The scene plays otherwise after the audience get it on that it ’s an honest-to-god Ruby Sunday who ’s speaking to Susan Twist ’s tramp . If whatever Ruby has to say is too terrific for the tramper with the face of Susan Triad , then it may suggest that Ruby is the key to kill whatever ’s going on with S Triad Technology in the stopping point .
Susan Twist ’s fibre have worn blue in the time to come and red in the past , a citation to the first RTD era ’s fourth dimension vortex .
It ’s worth pointing out what Susan Twist is wearing in " 73 Yards " , and how it connects to her previous appearances . In each of the Ncuti Gatwa episodes between " The Church on Ruby Road " and " Boom " , Susan Twist ’s character have wear upon blueness in the futurity and cerise in the past tense , a reference book to the first RTD geological era ’s meter vortex . In " 73 Yards " , however , which begins in the present day , Susan Twist ’s tramper carries a cherry backpack and bust a blue anorak , representing both coloring material of the metre convolution . This further hints that Susan Triad may be splintered across fourth dimension inDoctor Who ’s season finale .
The late doc Who season 14 sequence , " 73 Yards , " leave several unrequited questions about the Doctor and Ruby ’s fortune across multiple timeline .
3Penny Pepper-Bean in “Dot and Bubble”
“Happy Finetime, Lindy-Loo.”
Doctor Who ’s societal media sarcasm " Dot and Bubble " featured a surprising appearance bySusan Twist as Penny Pepper - Bean . Previously , Susan Twist’sDoctor Whocharacters had no denotative connections to other characters in the episodes in which she appear . While she was implied to be caring for the Space Babies , Gina Scalzi only look alone on - screen . The fact that Lindy Pepper - Bean ( Callie Cooke ) is actually related to one of the Susan Twist characters could back up the idea that she ’s also playingRuby ’s female parent inDoctor Who .
As with the rest of Finetime residents ' parent , Penny Pepper - Bean has been consume by the Mantraps , perhaps betoken a likewise sticky end for Susan Triad …
As in " 73 Yards " , Ruby and the Doctor explicitly admit the appearance of Susan Twist , briefly derailing their attempt to hold open Lindy . As with the eternal rest of the Finetime residents ' parent , Penny Pepper - Bean has been eat by the Mantraps , perhaps foreshadowing a likewise sticky end for Susan Triad at the ending ofDoctor Whoseason 14 . Although Penny Pepper - Bean is n’t wearing reddish or blue in her " Dot and house of cards " fit , Penny ’s bubble background is spicy , reflecting that the Doctor and Ruby are in the future .
2The Duke’s Late Mother in “Rogue”
“Her eyes still follow me around the room…”
Doctor Who’sBridgertonepisode , " Rogue " did n’t feature a unrecorded - action Susan Twist cameo , as she was stand for by a portrait instead . Once again noticed by Ruby , Susan Twist ’s likeness was becharm in a portrait of the Duke ’s late female parent . The Duchess ( Indira Varma ) observes that the eyes of the painting follow her around the room , an old adage about creepy-crawly painting that has added meaning when it comes to Susan Twist .
Susan Twist defend another stagnant parent , which is n’t doing anything to expose the possible action that she ’s linked to the narrative of Ruby Sunday ’s birth .
It ’s interesting that once again Susan Twist ’s semblance is enforce to a character who has been a parent , or cared for baby . Gina Scalzi worked on the Baby Station in " Space Babies " , the hiker showed a maternal concern for Ruby catch her death in " 73 Yards " , and Penny Pepper - Bean sent encourage messages to her daughter in " Dot and Bubble " . Now in " Rogue " , Susan Twist represent another drained parent , which is n’t doing anything to expose the possibility that she ’s link up to the report of Ruby Sunday ’s birth .
1Susan Triad in “The Legend of Ruby Sunday”
“In every dream, I’m there!”
In the trailer for " The Legend of Ruby Sunday " , the Doctor explain thatSusan Triad remember all the Susan Twist characters that he and Ruby have meet so far . However , she does n’t roll in the hay why , and a haunted Susan Triad is get a line to wail " In every dreaming , I ’m there " . The poke also reveals two other Susan Triad character , a demonic looking fair sex and a glitching cyborg case . How these two eccentric impactDoctor Who ’s season 14 finale remain to be seen .
Brian Hayles , who created the Toymaker forDoctor Who , earlier opine a sister called Hecuba , who was the Queen of Time .
It ’s possible that Susan Triad is merely an avatar for something much darker , perhaps another ofDoctor Who ’s Pantheon of the Gods . Brian Hayles , who created the Toymaker forDoctor Who , in the beginning suppose a sister called Hecuba , who was the Queen of Time . The Doctor has faced the gods of play and music so far , urinate it possible that Susan Triad is an avatar for the godess of sentence . Such mastery over time would certainly explain how Susan Twist is able to appear across the total time place continuum inDoctor Whoseason 14 .
