Bradley Walsh & Tosin Cole Leaving DOCTOR WHO at Christmas, May Return in Future


The TARDIS will be a bit less crowded in 2021.

The Daily Mirror is reporting that Doctor Who co-stars Bradley Walsh and Tosin Cole will exit the series after the upcoming 2020 holiday special, "Revolution of the Daleks".  Although their respective characters, Graham O'Brien and Ryan Sinclair, will be written out of the series, fellow companion Yasmin "Yaz" Khan (Mandip Gill) will return for Series 13 along with star Jodie Whittaker.

According to the article, "Revolution of the Daleks" has been filmed, but the specific nature of Ryan and Graham's departure is a closely-guarded secret.  One of the Daily Mirror's sources remarked, "Two years is a long time in the world of Doctor Who.  Yaz will be back but Christmas will be the last outing for Ryan and Graham."

However, fans of the characters may have hope for seeing them again.  The Radio Times has additional word from their sources that Walsh and Cole could continue "to make sporadic appearances in Doctor Who despite not being part of the main cast."  This, as their article suggests, could be similar to previous Doctor Who companions that returned to the series, such as Rose Tyler (Billie Piper) or Martha Jones (Freeman Agyeman).

Walsh, 59, currently hosts an ITV travel show with son Barney called Breaking Dad and will continue to host quiz show The Chase.  Cole, 27, has already landed a role in the upcoming AMC courtroom drama series 61st Street.

Doctor Who is scheduled to return for "Revolution of the Daleks" sometime between Christmas 2020 and New Year's, followed by Series 13 sometime in Autumn 2021.

"If he dies now, who knows what damage that will have on future history?  Words matter!

DOOM PATROL Casts Abigail Shapiro as Dorothy Spinner


The Chief finally has a daughter!

TVLine has revealed that the DC Universe/HBO Max series Doom Patrol has cast newcomer Abigail Shapiro as DC Comics character Dorothy Spinner.  The role will be recurring during the show's upcoming second season.

In the TV version, Dorothy was revealed to be the daughter of Dr. Niles Caulder, a.k.a. The Chief (Timothy Dalton), and a primitive woman named Slava (Pisay Pao).  She first appeared in the Season One finale "Ezekiel Patrol", although her face wasn't shown.  In the series, Dorothy's existence motivated the Chief to cause the tragedies that created the Doom Patrol as part of a plan to extend his life so that he could continue to protect her.

According to the official description for Dorothy, "Niles loves her very much and has gone through great sacrifice to protect her, and the world, from her special abilities.  Now that she is no longer hidden, Niles will go to even greater lengths to protect her."

Shapiro, 19, is a newcomer from a singing and dancing background, having only appeared in the film shorts Broadway Kids Against Bullying: I Have a Voice and Broadway Support Lihsa.

Created in 1988 by Paul Kupperberg and Erik Larsen, Dorothy Spinner first appeared in Doom Patrol (vol.2) #14 as a young girl whose mother gave her up for adoption when Dorothy was a baby.  Dorothy suffered a facial deformity that gave her the appearance of an ape, complete with hairy arms.  Because of this, Dorothy grew up isolated from society, with only her imaginary friends for company.  She eventually discovered that she had the power to bring these "friends" to life.  Her imaginary friends taught her how to read and write, because she wasn't allowed to go to school and people thought that she would "scare" the other children.

Dorothy's psychological vulnerability made her the perfect target for the Candlemaker, a malignant egregore removed from our plane of existence eons ago who sought to come back through Dorothy's psychic ability.  One day, a group of boys had been teasing Dorothy brutally.  The Candlemaker appeared in her mind, and when she wished that one of the boys was dead, he happily obliged.  The next day, they found the boy disemboweled and crucified in a field.  Dorothy would spend the rest of her life blocking the Candlemaker in the deepest part of her mind.

She first encountered the Doom Patrol when the team was swallowed by a Chaos Lord named Pythia.  This happened near Dorothy's home and when she went to investigate, she was swallowed by Pythia as well.  Inside, she thought she witnessed the Doom Patrol and other heroes being killed, and pelted Pythia with rocks, which caused her pain and destroyed her.  Dorothy turned up again for the funeral of Doom Patrol member Celsius.

Dorothy soon joined the team, and quickly became problematic during an event involving Dorothy's first period and the Materioptikon, an old device used by former JLA villain Doctor Destiny.  The device boosted Dorothy's powers and brought back three of her old imaginary friends, Damn All, Darling-Come-Home, and Flying Robert (all nightmarish representations of her neglectful and abusive family), whom she killed with an imaginary gun.

During the Men from N.O.W.H.E.R.E. and Pentagon saga, Dorothy was on Danny the Street (a living genderqueer street) with Doom Patrol member Joshua Clay and Flex Mentallo (The Man of Muscle Mystery) when she was  kidnapped by the government-run Men from N.O.W.H.E.R.E. and taken to the sub-sub-basement of the Pentagon called the Ant Farm, a mechanical monstrosity and prison.  Strung up alongside kidnapped psychic Wallace Sage, who created Flex, they were going to be used to summon the Telephone Avatar, an all-powerful being made up of telephone parts.  In Dorothy's mind, the Candlemaker appeared once more, and promised that if she let him out for good, he would destroy the Men from N.O.W.H.E.R.E. and the Telephone Avatar.  Dorothy lapsed, and when she woke up the Candlemaker held true to his promise.

Following their departure from the Ant Farm, the Candlemaker began to haunt Dorothy's mind trying to get her to let him out.  Dorothy confessed to Joshua what had been bothering her, and about what the Candlemaker had done in the past.  She then collapsed from the strain he was putting on her mind, and when Joshua tried to find the Chief for help, the Chief shot him.  When Dorothy found Joshua's body, the Candlemaker told her that he will bring Josh to life if she lets him out.  She did so, and Josh was brought back to life, only to be killed seconds later.  Dorothy attempted to use a gun on the Candlemaker to no effect, but at that moment, computer programmed nanomachines that the Chief had created to cover the world, swarmed over him.  The Candlemaker still went after Dorothy, but Rebis, whom the Candlemaker had also killed, was resurrected in a new body.  Rebis attacked the Candlemaker and reduced him to a single flame that Dorothy put out.

Shapiro will be the first actress to portray the character in live action, although the back of an unknown actress' head was shown toward the end of "Ezekiel Patrol".  The character also appeared briefly in the Batman: The Brave and the Bold episode "The Last Patrol!" as one of the attractions at a freak show presented on a poster with the word "Spinner" written across it.

Doom Patrol is expected to return to DC Universe for Season 2 sometime in 2020.

THE FANDOM ZONE 175: "Crisis on Infinite Earths: Parts 4 & 5" is Up!


"In the beginning, there was only one, a single black infinitude.  Then the infinitude found release, and finally, the darkness broke, filling it with life...with the Multiverse.  Every existence multiplied by possibility and spread out before space and time in infinite measure. Civilizations rose and fell...and rose again to cross realities grasping expanse.  Life, a precious gift persevering in the face of every obstacle...until, finally, the Age of Heroes was born."
-- Oliver Queen, Legends of Tomorrow: "Crisis on Infinite Earths: Part 5"

Hello again, everyone!  My co-host Jesse Jackson and I are back with the 175th episode of The Fandom Zone Podcast!  This time, we're joined by DJ Nik from The Whiskey & Cigarettes Show and the Happiness in Darkness podcast to discuss the last two parts of "Crisis on Infinite Earths", the sixth annual Arrowverse crossover event, based on the classic 1985-86 DC Comics maxi-series and featured in episodes of Arrow and Legends of Tomorrow!

In this episode, Jesse, Nik and I talk about things like the final two parts suffering from a month-log gap, the staff writers writing their respective episodes, Crisis on Infinite Earths writer Marv Wolfman writing a chapter of the CW crossover, speculating why George Perez wasn't included, Jesse not being impressed by Oliver's second death, the Monitor taking the place of Krona as the Anti-Monitor's creator, why we didn't need to see the Monitor's origin, Oliver becoming the new Spectre, "Crisis" borrowing a little from Avengers: Endgame, Grant Gustin's Arrowverse Flash meeting Ezra Miller's DC Extended Universe Flash, Jon Cryer as Lex Luthor, the quick battle between the Spectre and the Anti-Monitor, the power of positive thoughts, Marc Guggenheim not being a good Arrow writer historically, Diggle not being happy that Oliver died without him being there, the Flashes admiring the other's suit, Lex Luthor being revamped as John Byrne's Lex Luthor, the awkward moment when Marv Wolfman met The Flash and Supergirl after killing them off in Crisis, Heat Wave doing a book signing as romance novelist Rebecca Silver, Ryan Choi finally stepping up, wanting HBO to do a Crisis on Infinite Earths series like they did Watchmen, Oliver getting public redemption by the President, the new Berlantiverse multiverse, Oliver getting a memorial shrine and chair, Barry forming an unnamed Arrowverse Justice League, the Super Friends Hall of Justice homage, the horrible Gleek ending, our favorite quotes of each episode, and more!
