EastEnders great Anita Dobson has joined the cast of Doctor Who, and fans are already guessing who her role might be.
The BBC stated in a new announcement that the 73-year-old actor would be starring on the renowned sci-fi series, with It’s A Sin and After Life star Michelle Greenidge also joining the cast.
Anita is well remembered for her role as Angie Watts on EastEnders from 1985 until 1988.
While little is known about who she would portray in Doctor Who, some fans have begun to speculate, with some speculating that she might play Ruby Sunday’s grandmother, with Ruby (Millie Gibson) being the Doctor’s new companion.
The show’s new season will premiere in November of this year, with three special episodes commemorating the show’s 60th anniversary.
It will include the return of David Tennant as the Fourteenth Doctor, followed by the debut of Ncuti Gatwa from Sex Education as the Fifteenth Doctor.
Ncuti will arrive this holiday season, accompanied by his new companion Millie.
