Doctor Who
Summary
Susan Twist ’s mysteriousDoctor Whocharacter has sparked many theory about who she is and what her meaning is to the plot line . The iconic British scientific discipline fable series is again being compose by Russell T Davies , who is known for inserting ostensibly random details that become substantial later on . The first few instalment of the first season to be streamed on Disney+ have take manyDoctor WhoEaster eggsthat could also be clues as to what will materialize later in the season , especially in relation to discovering the true statement about newfangled companion Ruby Sunday ( Millie Gibson ) ’s origins .
TheDoctor Whocastfor the new season has included an actress who plays chip part in every episode . Susan Twist has appeared in four differentDoctor Whorolesso far , suggesting that there is something more to to inclusion of this actress than preferring to have the same mortal recreate a small part in each story . This hypothesis has been bolstered by the cellular inclusion of a random Sung dynasty about a twirl at the oddment of " The Devil ’s Chord , " which could be a reference to the actress ' name mean to augur her grandness to the overall storyline .

Susan Twist ’s mysterious appearance in every episode could be a reddened herring mean to trouble the audience from noticing major cue elsewhere in the sequence . However , it ’s more likely that her appearance have something to do with the central closed book surrounding Ruby ’s origin . Here are ten of the braggy theories about who Susan Twist might really be .
10Doctor Who’s Susan Twist Is Ruby’s Birth Mother
She Could Be Keeping Tabs on Ruby For Reasons of Her Own
Doctor Whohas already drop several hints that Ruby Sunday ’s search for her nativity parent may not be as straightforward as it seems . Ruby seems to have mysterious zip that draws the Doctor ( Ncuti Gatwa ) and the TARDIS to places where other forsake children are in need of assistant , and the Maestro was terrified of what they pick up about the circumstances of Ruby ’s birth and subsequent desertion at the church building . The Doctor also scanned Ruby ’s DNA in the TARDIS , suggesting that her pedigree is not human .
Thus , one logical hypothesis about Susan Twist is that she is Ruby ’s birth mother . It is not yet known why Ruby was abandon at the Christian church as a baby , but Susan Twist could be following her , either to keep her out of trouble or to keep an eye on what she ’s doing and what she knows about her parentage . This theory explains why Susan Twist keeps showing up wherever Ruby goes;her fictional character could be mask herself as random mass so that she can watch Ruby without being detected .
This theory could also explicate why Ruby seems to be drawn to certain place . The Doctor noticed she was connected to abandoned babies , but if Susan Twist ’s character is her parentage female parent , she could be the force attracting Ruby and the Doctor to places where babies need aid . Ruby has not discover any shift in her energy around Susan Twist ’s mysterious character yet , but that does n’t necessarily confute the theory because the character could be capable to impede Ruby ’s awareness of their connection .
9Doctor Who’s Susan Twist Could Be Associated With Triad Technology
This Fictional Tech Company Name Was Spotted On The Side of a Bus During the Christmas Special
Triad Technology was first mentioned during " The Giggle , " when Melanie Bush told Donna that UNIT used Triad tech to create a sub - frame Donna was examine to access .
If this is the typeface , there are several hypothesis . Susan Twist ’s character reference could be an vicious technical school top executive who is after the Doctor and Ruby for unknown reasons , perhaps having to do with futurist technology that the Doctor require to stop from destroying the universe of discourse . Ruby ’s birth also could have been engineered using applied science offered by this troupe , and Susan Twist ’s character could be monitor Ruby so that she does n’t learn the truth about her origins .
TheDoctor Whoseason 14 prevue boast David Tennant ’s Doctorappearing as a hologram , which is in all likelihood related to Triad Technology . Thus , another possibility is that Susan Twist ’s character is a holograph or other form of AI programmed to come along wherever the Doctor and Ruby do . This would fit in with the theory that Triad Technology was involve in Ruby ’s parturition and wants to keep its secrets hidden . The AI played by Susan Twist could be program to distract Ruby or otherwise stop her from learning the truth about Triad ’s involvement in her parturition .
8Doctor Who’s Susan Twist Could Be a New Regeneration of the Master
The Master Could Have Turned Into Missy Again
Russell T. Davies has announced he is retiring the Master fromDoctor Who , which would seem to make it unconvincing that Susan Twist is a newfangled version of the character . However , when the Master is in female shape , they go by the name " Missy , " inadequate for Mistress . Thus , Davies could have technically been telling the trueness while continue it under wrapper that he does be after to bring back the Master in a different variant . If this is the casing , Missy could be disguise herself as unremarkable hoi polloi while she is waiting to make her next move .
The Master / Missy has always enjoy camouflage , dating back to their other show during the Jon Pertwee yr . Thus , it would be altogether in character for Missy to take various configuration and insert herself into the Doctor and Ruby ’s adventures . If this were the compositor’s case , Missy would most likely be keeping chit on the Doctor while place thing up for some detailed program to realise power and destroy the universe that she will eventually put into place .

If Missy is behind the Susan Twist appearances , that would also offer an alternate explanation for why Ruby seems drawn to sure places . It could be Missy ’s TARDIS that is actually attracting the Doctor and Ruby , mask sufficiently that the Doctor is incognizant of it . Thus , the Doctor has erroneously labeled Ruby as the causa of the TARDIS ' attraction to certain office .
There is one flaw in this theory , however . The Doctor ought to be capable to smell when another Time Lord is around despite his opinion that he is the only one left . This does n’t necessarily invalidate this hypothesis because Missy is particularly adept at hide her true indistinguishability , including any Time Lord energy that the Doctor would usually pick up on .
7Susan Twist Is a New Version of the Rani
The Renegade Time Lord Has Yet to Appear in Modern Doctor Who
The Rani is a classic Doctor Who villain who was introduced in the Colin Baker Episode " Mark of e Rani . " Like the Master , she is a renegade Time Lord who left Gallifrey after give way many of its police . The Rani is amoral , caring only about scientific research and exhibiting no concern for who she pain in the appendage . She has not appeared in the reboot ofDoctor Whoup until this point . However , the Doctor mentioned her during " Space Babies " when lecture about the type of names Time Lords lean to be give .
There have been rumour go around about the Rani ’s issue since RTD took over as showrunner . The Doctor cite her name could be foreshadowing that she is finally coming back toDoctor Who . If this is the type , Susan Twist would be an ideal mortal to play her . The Rani would enjoy experiment with using science and technology to mass with the Doctor . She might also have try out with human DNA to make Ruby in the first place .
The Fifteenth Doctor mentions the name of a long - absent character very betimes into the event of " Space Babies , " suggest their yield .
6Susan Twist Is Another Time Traveller
She Could be a Time Lord But Doesn’t Have to Be
Susan Twist ’s continual appearances are fairly reminiscent ofDoctor Who’sRiver Song , who knew the Doctor without him knowing her because their timeline were n’t synced . River turned out to be Amy Pond ’s daughter , who was conceptualize while traveling in the TARDIS and therefore inherit Time Lord characteristic such as being able-bodied to fourth dimension travel and regenerate . likewise , Susan Twist ’s fictitious character could be another Time Lord or time traveler who knows the Doctor and Ruby despite their deficiency of awareness about her identity .
This theory explains why Susan Twist has appeared in every episode ofDoctor Whoduring season 14 . However , if she is a meter traveler , it is unclear what her purpose is in attempt out the Doctor and Ruby . She may have become strand in metre and latched onto the TARDIS in the Leslie Townes Hope of getting back to where she is conjecture to be . instead , she could be a villain who is go for to cut off the space - time continuumby continually interacting with the Doctor and Ruby .
5Susan Twist Is the Mysterious Figure Who Picked Up the Master’s Gold Tooth
This Theory Assumes She Is Not the Master or Rani
" The Giggle " do up a mystery that has not yet been addressed involving a woman whose face was not shown . The Toymaster bragged to the Doctor ( David Tennant ) that he had defeated the Master and turned him into nothing but a Au tooth . After the Doctor ’s bi - generation and the Toymaker ’s defeat , however , a mitt was examine picking up that gold tooth . The most logical account is that Missy piece up her previous regeneration ’s tooth , but an alternating hypothesis involves Susan Twist .
If Susan Twist is not play the Master or Rani , then it could be a vivid wrench for her to be the individual in possession of the Master ’s tooth . This would inclose a new mystery about who she is and why she require the Master ’s tooth . Additionally , it is possible that she gain the ability to time traveling or regenerate from refer the Master ’s tooth . This could lead in fascinating direction , depend upon why she is appear everywhere the Doctor and Ruby do .
4Susan Twist Is a Member of the Pantheon
These All-Powerful Villains Terrify the Doctor
The Pantheon areDoctor Whoseason 14 ’s primary baddie , who have been described as godlike , immortal creatures who have so much king that the Doctor can not fight them and must extend away . Susan Twist ’s reference has appeared in every episode that involves a member of the Pantheon , with the exception of " The Giggle . " Susan Twist ’s character seems to show up wherever Pantheon members do , hint that she is associated with the all-powerful wight .
If Susan Twist is a phallus of the Pantheon , it does n’t necessarily mean she ’s malevolent , although so far the Pantheon has induce nothing but trouble . She could be a rogue member who is trying to halt the others from wreak mayhem or is trying to protect Ruby and the Doctorfrom the other members of the Pantheon . The Doctor does not have the vivid fear of her than he does of other member of the Pantheon , which seems to negate this hypothesis , but if she were a force of goodness instead of immorality , that could excuse the discrepancy .
3Susan Twist’s Character Could Be Doctor Who’s The One Who Waits
This Mysterious Moniker Has Been Given to a Powerful Alien Who Might Have Been Involved With Ruby’s Abandonment
The One Who Waits is presumptively an extremely powerful member of the Pantheon . The Toymaker warned the Doctor about him , saying that he was the only being the Toymaker could not shoot down , andthe Maestro back off Ruby while try out to steal her call once they study that The One Who Waits might have been present at the church when Ruby was vacate . This mysterious being has been referred to with virile pronouns , but that does n’t necessarily think of anything .
All - hefty beings could be genderless or encompass all gender , so Susan Twist could still be the One Who Waits .. If so , that would tie in to former theory about her fibre keeping tabs on Ruby because of Ruby ’s desire to know her origins . Susan Twist could also be playing the One Who Waits ' disguise , which could then lead to a revealof the sinewy being ’s reliable form .
2Susan Twist Is Doctor Who’s Ruby Sunday From Another Timeline
Like Mrs. Flood, She Could Be an Older or Alternate Version of Ruby
It ’s theoretically possible that Susan Twist is an older reading of Ruby . However , the Doctor has accentuate that there would be serious consequences if Ruby were to meet another adaptation of herself , which is why he ca n’t take her to the church to witness her giving birth . This presents a job for the theory that Ruby and Susan Twist ’s characters are the same individual , as the two have interact without make a paradox or other trouble . However , while Susan Twist ’s character ca n’t be an older rendering of Ruby , she could be an older version of an alternate timeline ’s Ruby .
Rose Tyler produce a interchangeable paradox during " Father ’s daylight " by stop her father from pass when she was a sister .
Under the multiverse theory of time travel , Ruby could have created a split between this existence and another one when she stepped on the butterfly or when the Doctor revivify it . In this case , there could be another Ruby in another universe who is still a butterfly hybrid . There could also be other Rubys from other universes because of other lowly moment in Ruby ’s life that have commute thing . Susan Twist ’s character could be an older version of one of those Rubys , thus avoiding the time paradox when meeting this Ruby .
1Susan Twist Could Be Doctor Who’s Susan, The Doctor’s Granddaughter
The Doctor and Ruby’s Discussion of His Granddaughter Might Not Have Been Random
The First Doctor left his granddaughter , Susan Foreman , on Earth , but Doctor Who media has provide several updates on her condition since then .
If Susan is still live , Susan Twist could be playing her . She could be follow the Doctor and Ruby because she wants to reconnect with her grandfather . or else , Susan could have lose her memories during the Time War and palpate a clout toward the Doctor without understanding the reason , which could explain her disguising herself as various mass rather than telling him who she is . This would be an interestingDoctor Whotwist that tied the newest season to its 1963 launching .
