A shame to see Millie go so soon, I loved her in the Christmas special. Hopefully everything is fine behind the scenes and it's not a repeat of season 1's production

I find the spin given to this story by different outlets...fascinating.

Andor's Verada Sethu Will Be Doctor Who's Next Companion

"After one season" — we already saw set photos of her into season 15 (or 2 , into 2025 anyway), so it seems its more organic than that. Which I personally like apart from the fact that it means the Ruby question will probably be resolved at the same time.

Well, in comparison to Moffat and Chibnal, Davies did mix things up a lot, apart from the Doctor I suppose.

Rose + 9: 1 season (blame here depends on who you ask)
Rose + 10: 1 season
Martha: 1 season
Donna: 1 season

Even Moffat had Bill as a single-season companion, Chibnall had Dan, who was basically only in "Flux".

It is a shame. Obviously we're very early on in her story so maybe after one season there's nowhere else to go with her, but it is sad.

I haven't even watched more than one damn episode, and I'm already being told she's going to leave? Who decided announcing this was a brilliant idea?
