Doctor Who Actor Reveals Original Finale Plans Before Reshoots

Recent revelations about the second season finale of Doctor Who suggest that the episode was significantly altered due to Ncuti Gatwa's departure from the series. The original ending supposedly featured a party scene with Susan, the Doctor's granddaughter, as a cliffhanger leading into the next season, which is now uncertain. TikTok user Sienna-Robyn Mavanga-Phipps, a young actress in the finale, has confirmed these initial plans and hinted at a deeper connection with Poppy, her character, being revealed as Susan's mother. Fans are left questioning the drastic changes made to the finale and the future of the series amid news of reshoots and an ambiguous renewal status.

The original ending was meant to include a celebratory party scene with the Doctor and other characters, culminating in a cliffhanger featuring Susan watching from afar. This was modified due to extensive reshoots following Ncuti Gatwa's exit from the show.

Doctor Who, a long-running British sci-fi series, has captivated audiences since its debut in 1963. The show features the Doctor, a Time Lord traveling through time and space, often accompanied by companions. Recent seasons have seen both new and returning characters, along with significant shifts in cast, including Gatwa's role, which has sparked much speculation about the series' future direction and potential new story arcs.
