Doctor Who will say farewell to 13th Doctor actress Jodie Whittaker in its Centenary Special, and it’s sounding like the first female Doctor is getting an emotional send-off.

Fans eagerly await the premier of “The Power Of The Doctor” in October, Jodie Whittaker spoke to Empire OnlineHer final scene in Doctor Who. Whittaker gave a shoutout (which will be repeated by Chris Chibnall, showrunner) Also, you can leave after this special) and shared her reaction to shooting the final scene:
Chris’ dialogue for my regeneration is a wonderful one. It perfectly captures the Doctor. It’s simple, epic, and beautiful…When I could see the crew was happy with that last shot, that’s when my bottom lip started going. I was like ‘Well, they can’t say they need another take now because I’ve fucking lost it!
Jodie Whittaker struggled to hold it all together for her final scene. Doctor Who, which isn’t too surprising. Anyone who has an HBO Max subscription can revisit the regeneration episodes of past modern Doctors and see that they’re always a very emotional experience. It’d be strange to hear Whittaker went and filmed the scene without any emotion at all, especially after three seasons in the franchise.
The actress also spoke about “The Power Of The Doctor” outside of the actual regeneration scene and teased it’s something that Doctor WhoFans will be thrilled about it. Jodie Whittaker refers it as “a regeneration episode”, as is often the case for episodes. “massive” thing:

Doctor Who fans also may have some questions regarding The Doctor’s upcoming regeneration, and whether this special will feature incoming actor Ncuti Gatwa’s first scene as The Doctor. It’s possible that Whittaker’s regeneration won’t be complete before the episode’s end, and Gatwa won’t premiere until a later date.
There’s also some speculation that Jodie Whittaker may regenerate into David Tennant’s returning DoctorIt would be an unprecedented feat. All that being said, Doctor Who is being cryptic about how he and Catherine Tate’s Donna Noble For the 60th anniversary, will be backThere may be something special about 2023. Russell T. Davies, the show’s return showrunner, is keeping some things very private. Fans may have to wait until this episode for the answers they are looking for.
