* In a deleted scene, it was revealed that Gold was originally planned to have a romantic interest in Adelaide that he was never able to express due to the rules against relationships on the mission. However, when the scene where the anti-relationship policy was revealed- after the Doctor disclosed the relationship between [[Yuri Kerenski]] and [[Mia Bennett]]- was deleted, this sub-plot was also 'sacrificed', being replaced by Gold making unexplained comments about how Adelaide could never forgive him for some unspecified past event. | * In a deleted scene, it was revealed that Gold was originally planned to have a romantic interest in Adelaide that he was never able to express due to the rules against relationships on the mission.
