'Doctor Who' season finale surprises fans with an exit — and a familiar face

Ncuti Gatwa is exiting the lead role in the long-running British sci-fi series Doctor Who after two seasons, with his Time Lord regenerating in Saturday's season finale.
Gatwa took over as the Doctor in 2023 from Jodie Whittaker, the first woman to play this galaxy-hopping extraterrestrial who regenerates into new bodies.
During the finale, fans caught a brief appearance of Billie Piper, known for her role as Rose Tyler in 35 episodes from 2005 to 2013, though the details of her upcoming involvement remain under wraps by the production team.
The BBC stated, "Just how and why she is back remains to be seen," and showrunner Russell T Davies called it "an honour and a hoot to welcome her back to the TARDIS."
Should Piper assume the lead Time Lord role, she would represent the third female actor to portray the character, opening the door for storylines that delve into this surprising return and its consequences.
