“There’s always a twist in the end!” Russell T Davies warned us at the end of “The Devil’s Chord,” with a musical number that proved prophetic. While Whovians might have thought at first that Doctor Who‘s Season 14 showrunner was talking plot twists, we’re now realizing he meant Susan Twist is always in the end credits.
Who is she, and why are Whovians losing their collective cool over Susan Twist? Well, it’s because the elderly English actress is popping up again and again on Doctor Who, and in a very timey-wimey way.

But there’s something especially curious about Twist’s appearances, as they’ve all come in a recent jumble.

With the latest episode, “73 Yards,” there are fresh clues to who Twist is really playing. So, let’s pick through the appearances and the fan theories one by one.
