As excited fans eagerly await the highly anticipated last ever Christmas special of Gavin and Stacey, actress Joanna Page has made a special request to her co-creators James Corden and Ruth Jones - no bikinis! Despite weeks of speculation, Corden and Jones have finally confirmed that the beloved BBC comedy, which first aired in 2007, will be making one final trip to Barry.
However, even though the script is now complete, Page, who plays the lovable Welsh lass Stacey, admits she still has no clue about what will happen in the final episode. "I just hope that I haven't signed on to be running around on Barry beach in a bikini because I'm not doing that at 47," she jokingly shared in an interview with BBC Breakfast.
The 2019 Christmas special of Gavin and Stacey was a huge success, attracting over 18 million viewers and becoming the most-watched non-sporting event in a decade. However, fans were left on the edge of their seats when the episode ended with a nail-biting cliffhanger - Nessa getting down on one knee and proposing to Smithy.
Even Page herself was stunned by the unexpected twist, admitting that she was just as eager as the viewers to find out what happens next. "I am the same as everyone else. I can't wait to find out what has happened," she said. "I remember all those years ago reading the script for the last special, and I was doing it on my phone. I got to the end, and it said, 'Nessa goes down on one knee', and I remember scrolling through thinking, 'That can't be the end'. I am the same as everybody, what happens?"
Other cast members, such as Mathew Horne who plays Gavin, are also excited to see how the story will unfold in the final episode. However, Rob Brydon, who plays Stacey's uncle Bryn, has his own personal request for the last episode. "I hope we don't find out about the fishing trip. That would be a mistake," he shared in an interview with The Agency. The "fishing trip" has been a long-running joke throughout the series, with Bryn and Gavin's dad going on a fishing trip that resulted in a mysterious incident, which has left them both shaken and unwilling to talk about it.
Despite the constant teasing and close calls, the truth about the fishing trip has never been revealed. Brydon believes that this mystery should remain unsolved, stating, "They should keep the mystery. You must never resolve that. That's the thing. It is the not knowing." Fans will just have to wait and see if their burning questions will finally be answered in the last ever episode.
Gavin and Stacey will return to BBC One this Christmas, and viewers can expect a heartwarming and hilarious finale to this beloved series. As always, if you have any insider information or exciting news about the show, be sure to share it with the entertainment team at The Agency.
