Anita Dobson winking as Mrs. Flood in Doctor Who
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Doctor Who introduced the mysterious Mrs. Flood in the 2023 Christmas special, and one theory suggests her first name could also reveal who she is. Played by Anita Dobson, Mrs. Flood is a character who clearly knows much more than the average human in the Doctor Who universe.
Mrs. Flood's First Name Could Be Carol "Carol Flood" fits the formula of another "River Song" alias Close There's a Doctor Who naming convention that means the character boasting one of a particular set of titles is actually River Song.

The Goblins are fascinated by Ruby, and River's lingering presence nearby would be a big contributor to that fascination.
