Just now on the BAFTA red carpet with Gatwa and RTD. Seems he may go blond. He's known since February.

Shades of Matt Smith - RTD says Gatwa was their last audition and 'stole it'. IIRC Smith did something similar from out of nowhere.

For the first time in years I am excited in Doctor Who. Gatwa is excellent; with RTD returning as well I really hope that the writing really is sufficient and good. 
 

Bad writing is something that’s plagued the last two doctors. Also hoping for a developed companion as there hasn’t been one since Clara.

Janet Fielding (more added as possible):

 

I think the Capaldi era was largely excellent and still underrated, but I do think by the end it was time for a change from Moffat (just not Chibnall). I also liked Bill a lot, but I don't think they needed to do another improbably happy ending for a companion where a death is inverted just like Clara's.

I will agree the Chibnall companions are total ciphers. It is not a coincidence that the only actors that have managed to break out a little in the current era are established performers with their own preexisting name brands - Bradley Walsh and John Bishop.

I think Capaldi era was overall good it returned to lower stakes character driven stories after all the very high stakes drama surrounding the mystery of Trenzalore and what not it was just some stories were dull as dishwater IMO.  Heaven Sent/Hell Bent was fantastic, but I remember watching Husbands of River Song and feeling sad as it was the end of an era. I thought Bill had promise but the way she was so easily discarded of, yikes. 
 

The crowded Tardis years of the Davison era worked out well for better or for worse mainly though as everyone had their own personality. With the Whittaker/Chibnall era not so much lol.

      Disgusting how Gilly was written out. I'm glad I was not watching that travesty. Petronia Paley deserved better as well.   Interesting to me how so many viewers wanted Annie to succeed--the same way they were so invested in Marian/Brett.

      Oh how I wish Angela Lansbury would have called out Les Moonves and put him on blast.

      The first time I cried from a soap, Zane's death. I cried for 3 days.

      DAYS: June 2025 Discussion Thread

      By j swift · Posted

      I really appreciated all the movement in today's episode.  It resonated with me that it felt like the sort of nervous energy that can surround a family after death. I want to point out the EJ scene.  I was riveted by his multi-layered performance. When he told Belle that he went to her because he loved her, and then saw that she was embarrassed by him, and rejected the part of her that was attracted to him.  It started to make even more sense why he would try to protect Johnny (who I still don't think shot him).  EJ feels like a pariah (although TBH, it wouldn't have hurt to bring Marlena some of that tea that everyone had been promising her all morning).  And he doesn't want to pass that along to his son by exposing him as the shooter.  It is interesting that we see none of those same concern between Kristen and lil'Rachel.

      Y&R: June 2025 Discussion Thread

      -- What a stupid party. Devon and Abby leave while Victor goes upstairs to the GCAC bar and talks with Kyle. Then we see Jack giving Nikki ANOTHER birthday toast as if the party has just begun. Huh??? -- This party perfectly encapsulates sweeps month for this show: lame, deadly, boring af. -- Once again, Cole gets really sick and no one insists on an ambulance or the ER. They really want him dead, don't they? Instead we hear multiple characters say "Gee, I hope Victoria doesn't catch it." Cole will be dead before Dumas. -- Kyle is really offering to make a contract with Victor so he can continue to see Claire? Jesus Wept. -- And then the shoe ends with Victor praising Nikki for softening his heart over the years -- after we've seen him treat Kyle, Michael, and Jack like sh_it for days.

      I do think Zane could have been a decent long-term addition if they hadn't disposed of him - up to Lucas' arrival, at least.

      If he was responsible for Egyptian dust, you should have led with that! That one thing cinches it for me.
