Ever since star Anita Dobson showed up as the mysterious Mrs. Flood in ‘The Church on Ruby Road’, fans have been eager to know who Ruby Sunday’s nosy neighbor really is. Especially since across her several appearances, Mrs. Flood revealed that she knew Sutekh would return, is familiar with who the Doctor is, and even warns that his story will “end in absolute terror”.

There is clearly a big mystery to solve here with fans putting on their tinfoil hats, theorizing that Mrs. Flood is everyone from the Doctor’s former Time Lord companion Romana to the God of Stories. Thankfully, showrunner Russell T Davies recently revealed to our sister magazine SFX that “spectacular answers” are coming with the upcoming Doctor Who season 2, which will see Mrs. Flood pop up in every single episode.
