    Pretty sure ruby is back next season, right? And that the new companion is an addition not a replacement.

    Ruby stopped Gwilliam because the doctor was gone. When she saved the doctor by stopping him from stepping on the fairy circle, that timeline was wiped out and ruby had a different life where we now see she meets her parents and doesn’t keep travelling with the doctor. But Gwilliam still happens, so the doctor stops him instead.

      “Russell T Davies has now additionally explained that this marks a “pause” for the character. Varadu Sethu (previously seen in Doctor Who as Mundy in “Boom”) will join the TARDIS next year as the 15th Doctor’s newest companion.”

      Your right and I hadn’t considered the absence of the doctor in the timeline.
