Which Ride or Die actress played Bliss in the Doctor Who episode Love & Monsters? Kathryn Drysdale did.

Drysdale played Bliss in Love & Monsters, the tenth episode of Doctor Who’s second series, first broadcast in 2006. Bliss is a member of LINDA, a group of people who meet to discuss and investigate the Doctor. Her appearance is brief, but the group’s curiosity becomes dangerous when Victor Kennedy joins them and reveals his monstrous true identity.

The episode is unusual because it is told largely from Elton Pope’s perspective rather than following the Doctor and Rose as the main viewpoint characters. Marc Warren plays Elton, while David Tennant and Billie Piper appear as the Tenth Doctor and Rose Tyler. Peter Kay plays Victor Kennedy, who is ultimately revealed to be the Abzorbaloff.

Love & Monsters also incorporates a monster designed by a child who won a Blue Peter competition. The story was written by Russell T Davies and directed by Dan Zeff. Drysdale later became widely recognized for playing Madame Delacroix in Bridgerton, but her Doctor Who credit predates that role by more than a decade.
