Fans of the popular show Gavin and Stacey have been eagerly anticipating the Christmas special, and now they have something to hold on to as a hint about the finale has been revealed. As the beloved sitcom comes to an end, fans have been busy speculating about how the co-creators James Corden and Ruth Jones will wrap up the story.
Steffan Rhodri, who plays coach driver Dave 'Coaches' Gooch, has given us a glimpse into the final scene of the show. In an exclusive interview with Metro, he shared, "My character Dave is a bit of an outsider. But they planned it so that with the last scene we did, which is the ending, we were all together and it was very touching." Even without knowing the full context, it seems like the final scene will be an emotional one for both the characters and the audience.
For Steffan, being back on set after missing the last Christmas special in 2019 was a wonderful experience. "I can't tell you anything about the Christmas special other than I'm in it. I actually enjoyed it more than I thought I would. I didn't do the one five years ago so it's been 17 years since I've done it," he revealed. It was like a reunion for the cast and crew, and Steffan described it as "putting on a pair of old trousers." He added, "It was really lovely to hang out with them again."
Steffan's character Dave Coaches has been a fan favorite since the beginning, and his iconic line "fags and weed, glue and speed, but I draws the line at crack" will always be remembered. Interestingly, Steffan revealed that he unintentionally imitated his own uncle while playing Dave. "With Dave, I realized that I was imitating an uncle of mine. He did [drive a coach]! And he had a mustache. He's quite a character. When he realized I based Dave on him, he was quite chuffed," he shared.
Despite this hint about the finale from Steffan, there is still a lot of mystery surrounding the Christmas special. The cast and crew have kept the filming details a secret and have reportedly been instructed to keep their scripts hidden and stay on high alert for any leaks. However, back in October, James Corden himself dropped a hint about the show during an appearance at the Global Gala Gift. He teased a funeral and reportedly said, "But was there a funeral? Maybe yes. Maybe no!"
The Gavin and Stacey Christmas Special will air on Christmas Day at 9 pm on BBC One and BBC iPlayer. And while we wait for the highly-anticipated finale, why not indulge in some fan theories and speculations about what will happen on the infamous fishing trip? As Steffan's character Dave would say, "fags and weed, glue and speed, but I draws the line at crack." We can't wait to see how the beloved show comes to an end.
