With the news that a new companion, Constance, will be joining the Sixth Doctor, we have to ask - what about Flip? You may remember (spoilers) that she was last heard from in the episode Scavenger as she choose to plummet towards the Earth from orbit. We have no idea if she lives and we know that Sixie is now on his way to try to disentangle his time with Peri.
Where does this leave Lisa Greenwood’s character?
On twitter Big Finish has made the following comment:
@keefgoldie of course there will be more Flip! We love her and@Lisagreenwood20
This all seems very positive, that is until you read the next tweet:
@keefgoldie But that doesn’t necessarily mean any future Flip story would take place after Scavenger, he said cryptically…
Thanks to Keith Goldsbrough for his tweets, which I found, but what does it all mean? More Lisa as Flip but not immediate resolution to her destiny?! Maybe they’re just teasing!
If I had to guess, I’d say the next Flip story will be set after Scavenger but not immediately after. I think The Widow’s Assassin may follow on from that, and the Doctor will pick Flip up again sometime later…

I’ve given up speculating for the moment - it might be a year+ before we hear!

Well, if The Widow’s Assassin follows straight on from Scavenger we’ll know about that pretty soon. As for Flip… yes, it could be a while, if her next appearance is in the Main Range…

Yes I do think the Doctor is on his way to Peri at the end of Scavenger. I think the next Flip might even be set many years later though I read the tweet as implying just more Flip stories set before Scavenger (and probably before the last trilogy as a whole as it brought the whole Peri thing into play
