September 17th 2024.
As the cameras rolled on the set of Gavin and Stacey, it was clear that creators James Corden and Ruth Jones were feeling the love. The pair, who play Smithy and Nessa on the hit series, were captured hand in hand and strolling arm in arm through the streets of Barry, South Wales. Fans eagerly awaited their arrival, hoping for a glimpse of the duo who had captured their hearts on screen.
Trinity Street, the beloved road where the characters Gwen, Uncle Bryn, Gavin, and Stacey reside, was filled with well-wishers eager to catch a glimpse of their favorite stars. And they were not disappointed. James and Ruth's warm display as they walked together in the sunshine sparked hope for a romantic union in the upcoming Christmas special. Could this be the moment that Nessa's proposal to Smithy is finally answered?
The creators of the series, James and Ruth, have a long history of working together. They previously collaborated on the popular show Fat Friends. And it's clear that their chemistry extends beyond the screen. As they filmed on Trinity Street, it was evident that their friendship and creative partnership were still going strong.
Even though Ruth was in character as the iconic Nessa, with her trademark black hair and bold attire, James seemed to have left Smithy's signature tracksuit behind. His polished look raised questions about whether he was in character or not. And while the cameras may have been rolling, it seemed like the crew was filming behind-the-scenes footage rather than a scene for the show.
But that didn't stop fans from being delighted by the sight of James and Ruth together. Their on-screen chemistry and off-screen friendship only added to the anticipation for the highly-anticipated Christmas special. And the warm smiles they shared with the crowd on that September day only increased the excitement.
The cast has been tight-lipped about the details of the episode, with closed sets and minimal spoilers. But fans have still managed to catch glimpses of the stars on set. In a surprising turn of events, the baby actor who plays Neil, the son of Nessa and Smithy, was unrecognizable as a teenager on set. And Melanie Walters, who plays Gwen West, looked ageless as she returned to set after 17 years and looked just as she did in 2007.
Speculation has been running wild about what will happen in the Christmas special. The cast was seen dressed in bright formal wear, leading some to believe that a wedding could be in the works. But regardless of what unfolds on screen, fans are eagerly awaiting answers to long-standing questions. Will Smithy say yes to Nessa's proposal? Is he still living in Essex? And what really happened on that fishing trip?
Sadly, the creators have confirmed that this will be the last ever episode of Gavin and Stacey. But that only makes the expectations even higher for the show. And with the Christmas special set to air on BBC One and BBC iPlayer, fans can't wait to see what James and Ruth have in store for their beloved characters.
