“I felt it was more heartbreaking if they didn’t.” <\/p>
Former Doctor Who<\/a> showrunner Chris Chibnall has revealed why the Thirteenth Doctor and Yasmin never kissed on the show.<\/p>\n Doctor Who fans had been shipping the Thirteenth Doctor (Jodie Whittaker<\/a>) and her companion Yasmin (Mandip Gill<\/a>) all season and cheers were heard from \u2018Thasmin\u2019 fans when an episode confirmed Yaz had feelings for the Doctor.<\/p>\n However, when it came to Jodie Whittaker\u2019s final episode as the Doctor<\/a>, fans were left disappointed when there was no romantic moment shared between the two.<\/p> Chris Chibnall has now revealed why he opted to not acknowledge the love story. Speaking on the WHO Corner to Corner<\/a> podcast, the showrunner explained Thasmin was an \u201cunrequited love story\u201d.<\/p>\n \u201cWe discussed it. I think it\u2019s an unrequited love story. I don\u2019t know whether that\u2019s the right decision, but it is an unrequited love story,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n Chibnall continued: \u201cI felt it was more heartbreaking. It wasn\u2019t like there wasn\u2019t any sense of \u2018they\u2019re not allowed to kiss\u2019 or \u2018they\u2019re not going to kiss\u2019. Dramatically [and] emotionally, it felt slightly more wrenching if they didn\u2019t.<\/p>\n \u201cAnd also, I think if they kiss, you don\u2019t get the final scene on top of the TARDIS, because that scene was always sort of the kiss really.\u201d<\/p>\n
