A Doctor Who writer has opened up about the show’s upcoming Easter special and its queer romance. Over the last few months, LGBTQ+ fans have been eagerly awaiting for more queer Doctor Who content after the show’s incredible New Year’s special.
During the episode, Yaz (Mandip Gill) finally opened up about her feelings for the Doctor (Jodie Whittaker), which resulted in a slightly awkward interaction between the two characters.
With the Easter special set to premiere on 17 April, series co-writer Ella Road opened up to Radio Times about the duo’s upcoming romantic storyline. “I mean, I guess once those conversations had been opened up, they need to be continued.
