Halloween is over, and the Doctor is back! Last night saw Doctor Who<\/a> return to our screens after a long absence, with Jodie Whittaker\u2019s Doctor and her companions \u2013 instant fan favourite John Bishop as Dan and Mandip Gill\u2019s resourceful Yaz \u2013 thrust into all sorts of inter-dimensional danger once again.<\/p>\n

Though we have many questions after watching The Halloween Apocalypse<\/a>, one thing is clear: the Flux is on its way, even though we\u2019re still not exactly sure what it is.<\/p>\n

The series marks Whittaker and showrunner Chris Chibnall\u2019s last, but does this mean companion Yaz will also be leaving the TARDIS for good once the Flux has been defeated and 2022\u2019s specials have aired? Not necessarily, according to Gill herself.<\/p>

During a chat with EW<\/a>, Gill was asked whether she would be leaving alongside Whittaker. The actor said she couldn\u2019t confirm anything, explaining: \u201cThere\u2019s just no rules to this.\u201d<\/p>\n

She added: \u201cCompanions do stay on thereafter. We still haven\u2019t finished filming these episodes, it could go any which way. The audience are really good at going, \u2018oh, it\u2019s a whole new cast and new companions\u2019 and they\u2019re onboard with that. And they\u2019re also amazing at going, \u2018oh yeah, that\u2019s a companion from the last Doctor, that also makes sense.\u2019 So who knows? But just know that I\u2019ve had the most amazing time.\u201d<\/p>\n

It sounds like Gill would be keen to stay, but with a threat as big as the Flux on its way, it may be a question of whether her character survives.<\/p>\n
