Speculation grows as Doctor Who fans anticipate Jodie Whittaker's cameo in the Christmas special

Fans of Doctor Who are certain that they have spotted a hidden appearance by Jodie Whittaker's Thirteenth Doctor in the highly anticipated Christmas special. Whittaker first appeared as the Doctor in the 2017 Christmas special 'Twice Upon a Time' and went on to headline the show for three seasons and a series of specials.

Whittaker's time in the TARDIS was met with controversy. Although her portrayal as the first female Doctor was well-received, certain storylines from her era significantly deviated from the established canon, causing a rift among viewers.

Whittaker made her last appearance as the Thirteenth Doctor in 'The Power of the Doctor' in 2022. Since then, she has not returned to the role - although some fans are speculating that this may soon change.

The proof supporting their theory of Jodie Whittaker's return to Doctor Who? A recent still from the upcoming Doctor Who Christmas special, 'The Church on Ruby Road', that has surfaced on X.

The image shows a hooded figure carrying a baby, who is revealed to be Ruby Sunday, the future companion of the Fifteenth Doctor (Ncuti Gatwa), through a snowy churchyard. The figure's face is hidden, but her brown lace-up high-top boots are noticeable and look just like those of the Thirteenth Doctor.

This led fans to speculate wildly that Whittaker's Doctor could be connected to Ruby's mysterious past. "I can't unsee it now," one X user commented. Another chimed in, "Holy f**k, obviously buzzing to see Ncuti in action but I wouldn't say no to a Jodie cameo."

"Jodie's chin is a dead ringer for that too," chimed in a third person. "This is going to be fantastic," gushed a fourth. However, not everyone was convinced. Some skeptics argued that the boots didn't resemble Whittaker's pair, while others proposed that they belonged to an adult version of Ruby, presumably time-traveling.

Regardless, Whittaker's involvement in 'The Church on Ruby Road' has not been officially confirmed. If the star is indeed returning as the Thirteenth Doctor, the BBC is keeping it tightly under wraps.

Editor's P/S

As a Gen Z netizen, I am thrilled about the possibility of Jodie Whittaker making a cameo appearance in the upcoming Doctor Who Christmas special. Whittaker's portrayal of the Thirteenth Doctor was groundbreaking and inspiring, and it would be fantastic to see her return, even if it's just for a brief moment. The speculation surrounding her potential cameo has created a buzz among fans, and it's exciting to be part of this anticipation.

However, I also understand that some fans may have mixed feelings about Whittaker's era due to certain controversial storylines. It's important to remember that Doctor Who has always been a show that evolves and changes, and different eras will resonate with different audiences. Regardless of personal preferences, Whittaker's contribution to the show's history cannot be denied, and her return, if confirmed, would be a special treat for fans worldwide.
