Nessa and Smithy have been in an on-and-off relationship for years now, but there's one surprising detail that has left Gavin and Stacey fans in shock: they have never kissed! Yes, you read that right. Despite their wild adventures together, the pair have never locked lips. This revelation came to light on Christmas Day when viewers watched them finally tie the knot, after Smithy left his previous fiancée Sonia at the altar.
As fans were left baffled and combing through previous episodes to confirm this, it was discovered that Nessa and Smithy have indeed never kissed. According to Purplemoonlightxo, Smithy even mentions in one episode that they have never kissed, stating "even when we're doing it, we've never kissed." And upon further investigation, it turns out that the reason for this is because Nessa only enjoys "action from the waist down."
So why did the creators of the show decide to have the main characters refuse to kiss each other after getting married? Well, it seems that the closest they have come to a smooch is when Smithy kissed Nessa on the head after she gave birth to their son, Neil. As Reddit user EggOnToast42 pointed out, that's the only time they have ever come close to kissing on the lips.
But fans were relieved by this creative decision, as they couldn't picture Smithy and Nessa passionately kissing. User Ok-Advantage3180 even stated that they were glad the creators added in that detail, as it would have been "weird" to see them kiss. Actress Ruth Jones, who plays Nessa, previously revealed that she and co-star James Corden (who plays Smithy) decided against their characters kissing because it would be awkward, given their sibling-like friendship off-screen.
However, even though the popular show has come to an end with its last-ever episode attracting a whopping 12 million viewers, it's not completely over for Nessa. In fact, she will be making one last appearance during Radio 4's centenary on the BBC on New Year's Day. This time, she'll be reading out the Shipping Forecast, a broadcast of weather reports and forecasts for the seas around the British Isles. Ruth jokingly mentioned that this job is fitting for Nessa, given her colorful employment history, which has included a stint on the high seas.
So, while Nessa and Smithy may have never kissed on-screen, it seems that their unconventional characters and their strong friendship have allowed them to get away with it. And as for fans who were disappointed by this fact, they can always relive the show's iconic moments by streaming it on BBC iPlayer.
