Tonight , Doctor Who ’s late seasoncomes to an end , as the Doctor and Ruby train to battle an omnipotent foe from theTime Lord ’s past . But it also means there ’s one last hazard to see the most ceaseless of factors in what has been a very up - and - down season — one more show from invitee actress Susan Twist , who ’s been Doctor Who ’s most literally named Easter egg in a very longsighted time .
Last we sawthe erstwhile actress , Twist was playing Susan Triad — the nebulous Tech mogul head of Triad Technologies — who was divulge to be a harbinger of none other than Sutekh , the God of Death , a classic Who villain not see on - projection screen in 50 years . But Triad was only the late in a long line . It ’s been the meatiest of the use , but Twist has appear in every episode of Doctor Who since last yr ’s Christmas special , “ The Church on Ruby Road ” ( and even appear before that , in Who ’s sixtieth anniversary specials ) , playing unlike theatrical role unified across time and outer space by her cryptic visage .
What that ’s actually meant yet ? That remains to be seen , other than as a tease for Sutekh ’s inevitable rise—“The Legend of Ruby Sunday ” climaxes with Triad becoming a precursor of Sutekh , transformed into a skeletal vessel for his ancient power . Whether “ The Empire of Death ” turns her into a mook , or there ’s more to just why she kept manifest in the Doctor and Ruby ’s risky venture , we ’ll incur out tonight . But before that , get ’s celebrate the Twists along the manner , with our determinate ranking .
