Heartstopper actress Yasmin Finney (Yazdemand) recently confirmed her character, Rose, in the upcoming DoctorWho 60th Anniversary special is trans! 🏳️⚧️
The month of June, where Pride Month is commemorated, has ended but just in case everyone doesn't know yet, celebrating Pride isn't just a month-long thing. Even while diverse casts have previously appeared in movies and television shows, the fight for inclusivity is far from over. Doctor Who star Yasmin Finney recently delivered a speech at the Trans Pride march in London, confirming that her new character on the sci-fi series is trans.
The actress will play the character of Rose in the Doctor Who 60th anniversary special, which will also include newly-announced Ncuti Gatwa as the Fourteenth Doctor. There are no further details yet about Rose's character apart from what the 18-year-old actress recently revealed on Saturday, July 9. "How many of you have seen Doctor Who?" Finney began her speech. "Yeah, because that is also a moment and that is also a show where my character is trans.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY Finney's announcement is also in response to the United Kingdom's prime minister Boris Johnson's remark about transgender women competing in female sports, saying that it is a "controversial" thing. In a clip she quoted on her Twitter account, Finney further elaborated on the importance of the characters she recently played.
David Tennant and Catherine Tate will reprise their roles in the new special, including Neil Patrick Harris. The following Doctor Who special will debut on BBC One in the UK in October 2022. Seasons 1 - 12 are accessible in HBO Max.
