A beloved star from the hit show Gavin and Stacey has recently shared that they have not been asked to return for the upcoming and highly-anticipated finale. As fans have eagerly awaited the return of the beloved sitcom, it was finally confirmed in May that a Christmas special would be airing later this year. The show, which first premiered in 2007, followed the lives and relationship of Gavin Shipman and Stacey West, played by Mathew Horne and Joanna Page, as their families from Essex and Barry Island got to know each other.
The show, also starring creators Ruth Jones and James Corden as Nessa and Smithy, originally ended in 2010 but made a comeback in 2019 for a Christmas special. While many of the original stars are set to return for the finale, one actor has expressed their disappointment after not being included in the line-up. Oscar Hartland, who played Neil the Baby, son of Nessa and Smithy, in four episodes of season 3 and in the 2019 special, has not received the call to come back for the final episode.
In an interview with The Sun, Oscar shared his love for working on the show and his excitement for the possibility of playing Neil again. However, the teenager also revealed his disappointment in not being asked to return and how he hoped to bring closure to the beloved series that has been loved for over 17 years. Despite not being included in the finale, Oscar remains hopeful and has not given up on possibly returning for the role.
Since his last appearance on Gavin and Stacey, Oscar has been busy studying for his GCSEs and even made it to the semi-finals of The Voice Kids last year, where he was mentored by McFly singer and guitarist Danny Jones. With the last episode of Gavin and Stacey ending on a cliffhanger, fans are eagerly waiting to see if Nessa and Smithy will finally tie the knot and what the future holds for their son Neil.
Oscar also shared his thoughts on his character's development, stating that it would be fun to see Neil take a dark turn as he has always been a likeable character. As the show's return was revealed, Oscar had previously shared his ideas for his character's development with The Agency earlier this year. The Christmas special is set to air on BBC on Christmas Day, and fans are excited to see the story come to a close and find out what happens to their favorite characters.
