The more you think about it, the more you realise that RTD was talking out his backside when it came to Ruby Sunday.

Which makes me believe that she definitely was part of a cancelled plotline for the Gatwa era.

We all know what happened with Ruby Sunday and how she was built up to be special. There was the build up of her mum. Who is she? Why did she abandon Ruby?

It's built up through season 14. The Gods are terrified of her. When Maestro talks about a hidden song and how "he should not have been there" could they possibly be talking about the Wish Baby and not Sutekh. Or even Omega? FFS who knows.

But the mum is built up.

And then the season finale comes and goes and nothing. The mum was just a teenager with access to her school's costume department.

He says its because he wanted to do the opposite of Rey in Star Wars. But that seems like an excuse when you think about it. Especially when you consider that Ruby was supposed to be in season 15. RTD even said that her story is not done. She and her family will have a part to play in season 15. But the last lines of season 14 from Mrs Flood read like a TV show that got cancelled midseason and had to rush the ending, so we got a "And Ruby Sunday lived happily ever after."

Then RTD made his comments about Ruby's mother. How we read too much into it. Even though he'd made a point of showing how the scene in Church on Ruby Road was different and changing due to shenanigans in Legend of Ruby Sunday. (It's the same excuse he gave about Sutekh)

We're supposed to believe that the mother was pointing to a sign which said Ruby Road and that the priest who found Ruby saw that from inside his church and named her Ruby? Remember, they said that the mother was pointing at a sign so that the people who were NOT AROUND would know to call her Ruby. Who was supposed to see her pointing?

Which leads me to his explanation as to why Sutekh and Maestro were afraid of her. Which boils down to:

Sutekh and Maestro were afraid of Ruby which made her special and made it snow around her and gave her a hidden song, and because of this, the hidden song and snow made them afraid of her. It makes no sense.

Ruby is special because the Gods think she is, which makes them afraid, and because they're afraid, this makes her special....

Sutekh and Maestro are scared of Ruby because she is special, but she's only special because they think she is, so....

Either way I try to write it it doesn't make sense.
