Doctor Who star addresses character's sexuality after long-time speculation
"This is genuinely triggering."
"Seeing Kate Stewart and that man whoever he is getting steamy is worse than Elphaba and Fiyero. Like ma'am are you not a lesbian,"
"wasn't any discussion"
"married to a woman"
Jemma Redgrave addressed long-running speculation about UNIT chief Kate Lethbridge-Stewart's sexuality and confirmed there was no discussion with showrunner Russell T Davies regarding the character's sexual orientation. The War Between The Land and The Sea establishes Kate in a relationship with Colonel Christofer Ibrahim, showing her life outside UNIT. Fan responses included surprise and frustration, with some viewers expressing that the pairing conflicts with their assumptions that Kate is sapphic. Redgrave previously said she had once imagined the character as "married to a woman," but she clarified that no formal decisions or discussions had been made about Kate's sexuality.
