Doctor Who star Mandip Gill teases queer romance in forthcoming Easter special
Doctor Who star Mandip Gill revealed that the show’s upcoming special would feature more queer interactions between Yaz and the Doctor.
Earlier this year, LGBTQ+ fans were sent into a frenzy during the series’ New Year special after Gill’s character confessed her feelings for the Doctor (Jodie Whittaker).
In the Eve of the Daleks episode, Yaz and Dan (John Bishop) were separated from the Doctor and stuck in a time loop. While they were in the loop, the two opened up to one another – which resulted in Yaz confiding in Dan about her romantic feelings for the titular character.
Towards the end of the episode, Dan revealed to the Doctor that Yaz has romantic feelings for her. After the revelation, the Doctor pretended not to understand, which prompted Dan to say: “I think you do, but for some reason you pretend to me, and to her, that you don’t.” With the series’ upcoming Easter special – Doctor Who: Legends of the Sea Devils – on its way, fans have wondered if Yaz and the Doctor will officially become an item.
