The Doctor Who<\/a> Christmas special, The Church on Ruby Road<\/a>, is officially here, and we\u2019re being introduced to a whole host of new characters \u2013 including the family of new companion Ruby Sunday, played by Millie Gibson<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Making up the Sunday family are, of course, Ruby, her mum Carla, played by Michelle Greenidge<\/a>, and nan Cherry, played by Angela Wynter.<\/p>\n

Doctor Who has often made families of companions important throughout the series (as we recently saw with Catherine Tate\u2019s Donna Noble and her family) so we could be seeing more of the Sundays throughout the series.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s everything we know so far about Cherry Sunday and the iconic actress who plays her.<\/p>\n

Ruby\u2019s nan Cherry Sunday is played by Angela Wynter, who lots of fans are sure to recognise.<\/p>\n

Wynter is perhaps most recognisable for her role as Yolande Trueman in EastEnders<\/a>. The actress appeared in EastEnders consistently from 2003 to 2008, returning for a guest appearance in 2017. In 2023, she reprised the role.\u00a0 In 2021, she also joined the cast of Doctors.<\/p>\n

The actress is also known for her stage work, including a role in To Rahtid at the Young Vic Studio in 1996.<\/p>\n

Cherry is Ruby\u2019s nan, a no-nonsense and steadfast character \u2013 and it\u2019s clear that she\u2019ll do anything for her family.<\/p>\n

She previously told Doctor Who Magazine<\/a> of the Sunday family: \u201cIt has a special feel to it because it\u2019s all female. We\u2019re all pretty volatile and mercurial, and very loving and amusing. My character, Cherry, even though she can be quite ratty, she\u2019s also charming. It\u2019s a nice place to be, the whole work environment and the kindness and cheerfulness of everyone.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s great. I\u2019ll tell you what, working with all of them and Ncuti, is so sweet. It\u2019s so sugary.\u201d<\/p>
