One formerand one current ( andsoon to be solo ) familiar of the Doctor will be team up up in the next special Doctor Who episode , “ Revolution of the Daleks . ” But the thespian behind them are teasing that there just might be something that the two of them share when it come to touch about the Doctor that ’s very interesting indeed .
verbalize to theRadio Timesahead of the show ’s return early on next year , John Barrowman and Mandip Gill talked about how Captain Jack and Yaz will happen some common ground when the former teams up with the latter , Ryan , and Graham to help save Earth from somehuman - made Dalekswhile the Doctor ’s , y’know , trapped on aninescapable exotic prisonzillions of miles off . Of course , havingbriefly met beforethey’re already intimate , and the bond certificate of being a friend of the Doctor is already shared between them . But according to Barrowman and Gill , there ’s more to their connection there that , while very vaguely worded , is bound to get some Doctor Who fan ’s middle racing like they had their own binary vascular organization .

Yaz might have some feelings to share about a certain Time Lord…Screenshot: BBC
“ The one thing is that Jack always seems to be able-bodied to pluck out somebody who feels the same way about the Doctor that he does , so I do love that when they indite the scenes … without conk into too much detail Mandip and I had a wonderful scene that we did together where we express how we both palpate , ” Barrowman teased . “ I ca n’t differentiate you what it entails , what it postulate . But it ’s a lovely scene . ”
“ [ Jack ] ’s someone who ’s lost the Doctor as well , ” Gill summate . “ He ’s not exactly human , so I ’m not sure if I would have instantly recall , ‘ oh yeah , it ’s gon na be someone like that that can relate , ’ I would have thought it was Graham or Ryan going , ‘ I really get it on these journeying and I do n’t wanna go home . ’ Jack has an amazing vigour that ’s very very unlike to Yaz , Ryan and Graham ’s energy , but he also has , to a degree , the same family relationship with the Doctor that we do . ”
While Gill ’s comment is more cosmopolitan to the wider family of companions past and present , Barrowman tint upon feelings about the Doctor in the context of both Yaz and Jack is interesting . Of all three current fellow traveller , Yaz has by all odds had the closemouthed trammel to the 13th Doctor , regularly telling her that she ’s willing to pursue her anywhere and generally being more versed with her than she is with Ryan or Graham . There ’s enough of a spark there that the idea of transport Yaz and the Doctor is a not - rare thingamong fan circles . That ’s something Gill is also cognizant of , discuss the potential relationship in a late consultation with SFX Magazine ( viaRadio Times ) .
“ Me and the Doctor ? I love it , The fan art is just out there . It ’s good , innit , ” Gill tell SFX . “ You want a character and a plot line – even though that storyline was n’t there – you require the great unwashed to be let the cat out of the bag about it . I do n’t require it to just stay put on - screenland , I desire people to touch on to it or have see something in our two characters that they conceive could go on a different journey . So to me , I ’m here for it . ”
And Jack ? Well , he ’s Captain Jack Harkness . away from know for being uncoerced and capable to flirt with anything that has a heart rate , his preceding electric discharge in the show and in Torchwood has reach on his own love of the Doctor , beyond the occasional grungy input or as a booster . The Doctor changed Jack ’s life , basically ( well , Rose and the Time Vortex did , technically , but still ! ) , and there ’s an attraction there that has push and deplumate him in and out of their cranial orbit . So could their connexion , as Barrowman teases , be beyond just flavor about potentially leave behind the TARDIS behind forever , and more of a romantic , unreciprocated or otherwise , passion ?
Doctor Who , specially in its modern iteration , has not shied away from the theme of romance between the Doctor and a associate , so it would n’t incisively be a surprise if Yaz does have romantic tactual sensation for the Doctor . But the show ’s never really try that idea througha queer lensbefore — whether the Doctor reciprocate or not , it ’d be a cool measure for the show to take in diversifying the story it tells in time and infinite .
“ Revolution of the Daleks ” hits BBC One and BBC America on January 1 , 2021 .
