In the upcoming Season 2 of Doctor Who, the 15th Doctor, played by Ncuti Gatwa, partners with a new companion, nurse Belinda Chandra (Varada Sethu). Trailers suggest a complex relationship, with the Doctor acknowledging a mysterious connection to Belinda's past. Despite her insistence that she isn't here for adventures, the Doctor promises to return her home, albeit hinting at a longer journey than expected. Fans draw parallels between this storyline and previous arcs, highlighting showrunner Russell T Davies’ knack for misdirection in character development and plot structure.
The Doctor expresses concern over Belinda's familiar face, hinting at timey-wimey complications, while she insists she's not part of his adventures and wants to go home.
Belinda's initial reaction to the Doctor’s insistence on adventure is skepticism, affirming, "I'm not one of your adventures! You need to get me home," revealing her pragmatic mindset.
As the Doctor promises to take Belinda home, he warns it might take "the long way round," evoking anticipation and excitement typical of Doctor Who storytelling.
Russell T Davies’ approach to the series seems to prefer misdirection, making fans question connections between characters, as seen with past character reappearances in the show.
