Fans of Gavin and Stacey saddened after noticing two important characters were not present in the ending.

The highly anticipated finale of Gavin and Stacey certainly did not disappoint, as it brought back many beloved characters to wrap up the series in a perfect way. However, dedicated fans were quick to notice that two integral characters were missing from Smithy's wedding. Just a warning, this article contains spoilers from the finale.

After five long years since Nessa's unforgettable proposal to Smithy, we finally got to see what happened next. Unfortunately, Gavin interrupted the big moment and Smithy ran away before he could even give an answer. The next day, Nessa found out that he had gotten back together with Sonia and they both pretended that the proposal never happened. Fans have been pleading for Smithy to say yes ever since, and were disappointed when it was revealed that he had chosen to marry Sonia instead.

Luckily, Gavin saved the day just before the wedding and convinced Smithy that he was making a mistake. One by one, Smithy's family and friends stood up in agreement, and he ultimately left Sonia at the altar to chase after Nessa, who was about to start a new life at sea. The emotional rollercoaster ended with the two lovebirds getting married at Pam and Mick's house, with the ceremony taking place at the pub.

Amidst all the chaos, fans couldn't help but notice that two major characters were missing. Before his wedding, Smithy had his stag do, which was attended by all the boys except for one - Deano. Social media was flooded with questions about his whereabouts, with one fan even joking that he could be "in jail in Thailand." Another missing face was Nessa's dad, who was absent from her wedding. Fans were left wondering where he could be, with some speculating that he may have been "caught up as a comatose extra on Holby City."

It was later confirmed that Deano's part was cut from the original script, as there just wasn't enough room for his character. But it still felt odd that he missed such an important day for Smithy. And let's not forget about Smithy's sister Rudi, who also didn't make an appearance at the wedding, despite being present at his wedding to Sonia. Actress Ruth Jones revealed that her character was also written out of the script due to time constraints.

Despite these missing characters, the finale exceeded all expectations, breaking its own viewing record and becoming the most watched Christmas TV show in over a decade with 12.3 million viewers on Christmas day. For those who missed it, the finale is available to stream on BBC iPlayer. If you have any celebrity stories, videos, or pictures, don't hesitate to reach out to our entertainment team.
