If Billie was a 'placeholder', there would have been no reason to credit her at all.
*Sigh* missing it already.
It's not just you. Not even close to. And I'm increasingly suspecting the company's in far worse shape than most think.
What the fuck are you on about? She is credited, just not as the Doctor.
I know.
My point is this: If she appeared solely in lieu of having an open-ended Regeneration, there would have been no reason for her to receive a formal credit.
There are obligations for crediting performers. Even the one off guest stars are credited. She appeared. She'll receive credit. Having been credited doesn't mean she's the next permanent Doctor. You're leaping to unwarranted conclusions there.
I'm not even sure why I'm trying to explain this to you . . .
There is such a thing as an uncredited appearance or cameo, which using Billie as a 'placeholder' could have qualified as.
I think the actors union and her agents might disagree.

I could not find any publicly available information about whether or not Billie is a member of one of the UK's actors' unions, which means there's no way to definitively say that her appearance could not have in fact gone uncredited.
Has she ever worked in an uncredited manner before?
I think the actors union and her agents might disagree.
That's what I was thinking. I mean she even has a line. It's a paid acting gig at the very least.

Now I am even more convinced she will be playing the Tardis. Unless the BBC decides to just ignore it.
Oh, I don't think they'll ignore it. When I say "placeholder," I just mean not a lead Doctor there for at least a season. I'm sure they'll at least have her in a special. I think her being the TARDIS is the odds on favorite right now. But we'll see.
The plus side of the hiatus is that it gives them time to figure out what they want to do!
