On 24 December 2023, Carla started to foster Lulubelle, whose presence in the flat Cherry said would ruin Christmas with her dirty nappies and crying at night. She was annoyed by Ruby and Carla neglecting to provide her with a cup of tea, having let the last one go cold, and was charmed by the Fifteenth Doctor when he visited, although she initially warned him to keep away because of her distrust of doctors. After the Doctor left for the TARDIS, Carla finally supplied her mother with a cup of tea. (TV: The Church on Ruby Road [+]Loading...["The Church on Ruby Road (TV story)"])
