Ruth Jones will reprise her role as Nessa shortly after the finale of Gavin and Stacey.

"Nessa may have bid us farewell, but her beloved character will live on. For those of us still in denial that Gavin and Stacey has ended forever, there is a small glimmer of hope. Although it may not fully ease the pain, it will definitely provide a satisfying fix for fans. And who better to do that than the one and only Ruth Jones?

We all thought we had seen the last of Nessa Jenkins on Christmas Day when the final episode of the BBC sitcom aired to a record-breaking 12 million viewers. But lo and behold, just days after Nessa and Smithy finally tied the knot after 17 years of will they, won't they, Ruth Jones announced that Nessa will make one last appearance. She will be dusting off her iconic leather skirt and bob-style wig to reprise her role during Radio 4's centenary on New Year's Day. But what could Nessa possibly be doing on the radio, you may ask?

Well, she will be reading out the Shipping Forecast, a Met Office broadcast of weather reports and forecasts for seas around the British Isles. According to Ruth, Nessa has quite a colorful employment history and the Shipping Forecast was always important and useful to her. She will be joined by other notable names such as Dame Ellen MacArthur and Eddie Grundy from The Archers in the celebrations. And let's not forget about the talented lineup of Julie Hesmondhalgh, Stephen Fry, Adrian Dunbar, Paul Sinha, Imtiaz Dharker, Ian McMillan, Val McDermid, and Damon Albarn.

Mohit Bakaya, the Radio 4 controller, expressed his excitement for the event, stating that the Shipping Forecast is not only crucial for seafarers, but also a cherished ritual for many of their listeners. He also praised the continuity announcers, the unsung heroes and heroines of the Radio 4 schedule, for their crucial role in the event.

But let's take a step back and talk about the emotional rollercoaster that was the Gavin and Stacey finale. The 90-minute special had fans in tears as it brought back all the original stars for one last hurrah. It was filled with Easter eggs for diehard fans and even resolved the infamous fishing trip saga. And who could forget about the surprise return of Sheridan Smith as Rudi, Smithy's sister?

We also got to see more of our favorite couples, including Gavin and Stacey, Pam and Mick, and of course, Dawn and Pete. Despite beginning the episode divorced, Dawn and Pete eventually found their way back to each other, leaving fans hopeful for a possible spin-off show featuring the chaotic married couple. According to an insider, bosses are keen to explore more of the Gavin and Stacey universe, especially after the success of the special. And let's not forget about the creators, James Corden and Ruth Jones, who kept the project under wraps to avoid any spoilers.

Fans have been raving about the finale, with many describing it as the perfect ending. James and Ruth, however, have stated that this has to be the end for Gavin and Stacey as we know it. They wanted to make sure the ending was satisfying for both the audience and the characters, and only contacted the BBC when they had a solid storyline. And although they watched the show together on Christmas Day, they were still overwhelmed by the support and love from fans.

So, to all the Gavin and Stacey fans out there, don't lose hope just yet. Who knows, maybe one day we'll get to see more of our favorite characters in a spin-off show. But for now, let's cherish the memories and moments we've shared with Gavin, Stacey, Nessa, Smithy, and the rest of the gang. And if you haven't watched the finale yet, be sure to catch it on BBC iPlayer. And who knows, maybe you'll join the millions of fans who have praised the show and its creators for the perfect ending. Whether you're a fan or not, we can all agree that Gavin and Stacey will always hold a special place in our hearts."
