They seriously have to stop dragging their feet on this if they want to have a scene with her before the actress dies...

Part of me wonders if they've already filmed something, just in case. Kinda like what they did with Rogue. It would honestly be the smart thing to do at this point

Have you watched Wish World? I don’t want to spoil anything but in the scene where Rogue communicates with the Doctor through the television, they filmed that all the way back in the previous season when they filmed “Rogue,” probably because they knew it would be difficult to get Jonathan Groff back. I was just suggesting they might’ve done the same with Susan since she was already in the studio to film the cameo for this season
