Ncuti Gatwa as the Doctor and Jonathan Groff as Rogue kissing in Doctor Who season 14 episode 7
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Writer Kate Herron reveals how showrunner Russell T Davies greenlit the Fifteenth Doctor's brief Regency romance with bounty hunter Rogue in Doctor Who season 14. The director behind Loki season 1 and Sex Education season 1 united with Briony Redman to write an adventure that saw the Time Lord and companion Ruby Sunday encounter a race of shapeshifting aliens at a 19th century ball.
Out of the gate, I was like, "Well, look, I love romance. Like, can we do like, a queer romance?" And he was like "Absolutely." So, yeah, so I think that was always, like, I guess the center of it for us, and the heart of the story. Ncuti's interpretation is so extroverted, so we were like, "Well let's make them a bit more of an introvert, because that will just be fun, and you know, opposites attract.
The Fifteenth Doctor's Romance Is A Major Step, For Both Doctor Who & Major Franchises The Doctor's Queerness Isn't Just A Throwaway Line While Fifteen and Rogue's romance is far from the first time the Doctor shared a bond with a member of the same sex, as seen with Nine and Jack Harkness' flirtations and kiss, and the unfulfilled relationship between Thirteen and Yaz Khan, it is nevertheless an important tale.
Though far from the only queer love story in Doctor Who, the Fifteenth Doctor and Rogue's short-lived romance is a vital step in terms of how the series handles LGBTQ+ stories. The Doctor is one of the most resilient and oldest sci-fi heroes in pop culture. Herron, Redman, and Davies' work has allowed his tale to touch the hearts of queer viewers who may relate to him through their own lives.
