As a Doctor Who fan, you should know that every episode is absolute crap, Shauny.
A name seemingly synonymous with leaks:

Essentially: Heās saying Gatwa is 100% gone. āGatwa filmed a regeneration scene earlier this year during pick-up shots for the series.ā
Daniel RPK I have to laugh⦠he throws about 500 leaks out and maybe 10 stick. Heās infamous for leaks but yeah idk.
Juryās still out, but Iām on the side of āIāll be surprised if Ncuti Gatwa is still the Doctorā in about 9 weeks time.
Yeah Iām kinda apprehensive especially with what was said earlier about the staff where he was on stage.
Ok so assuming heās goingā¦
Are we having an open-ended regeneration scene (like was mentioned for 13) or has the new Doctor been cast?
Who is the next Doctor, and will they have a season next year?
How gutted would RTD be feeling about all this?
I canāt find the message but someone on the forum earlier was saying it was a well known open secret in the theatre.
IMO we could be in for a surprise casting, or an open ended like 13ās was recorded as. More leaning towards open ended.
I mean, apparently they found their Doctor and then changed their minds when Ncuti auditioned, so maybe they have a backupā¦
If we were to get a hiatus, even a brief one. Iād rather a 7th Doctor style ending than a regeneration. Leaves a gap for EU stuff too.
It all does feel kinda āback to square oneā again though and quite disheartening.
Especially for the first main Doctor of colour to be going out like that.
Iām trying not to believe it
I very much doubt Ncuti would do Big Finish if heās too big for the TV show but maybe in 30 years
True, but books etc not just BF. Although Iād be wanting BF aha. I also agree heāll never do them for AGES.
Itās also entirely possible, even if Gatwa had a 3 year/season contract, that RTD will have planned for this eventuality once Disney+ only committed for two years/26 episodes. He will no doubt have wanted to keep Gatwa on, but RTD knows TV well enough to have thought about āwhat if Gatwa wants out sooner?ā
Not saying anyone new has been cast, or that itās ideal, but I think meetings and plans will have been made for various eventualities in this new era.
Locking a leak behind a paywall. What a delightful personā¦NOT.
Iāll be really sad if Ncuti is already leaving
I believe some leaks and some rumours, but now it just sounds like this guy is spouting any old rubbish.
Yeah, that just sounds like heās trying to appeal to the haters and spread unnecessary negativityā¦
Why this person insulting CBBC
