Gavin & Stacey’s Pete and Dawn pose in sweet loved-up snap taken behind the scenes of the Christmas finale special
In a heartwarming, affectionate photo taken off-screen during the shooting of their Christmas special episode, Gavin and Stacey’s characters, Pete and Dawn, were captured together.
This week, actor Rob Brydon from Bryn posted a photo on his Instagram account showing him and another person embracing on the filming location.
In the final episode, characters portrayed by Adrian Scarborough (Peter) and Julia Davis (Dawn) were pivotal. It turned out that their marriage had ended prior to the storyline’s climax; however, they eventually reconnected.
Their constant on-off relationship was documented in previous series of the BBC show.
In the last episode of their cherished series, which aired in 2020, the characters played by James Corden (Smithy) and Ruth Jones (Nessa) finally tied the knot, resolving the proposal suspense that had been hanging since their 2019 Christmas special.
I, being a devoted admirer, labeled this snapshot featuring Pete and Dawn as “Two prairie voles.” On social media, I hashtagged it with #gavinandstaceychristmasspecial to share my excitement for this festive scene of these adorable creatures.
The reference indicates that Dawn once described an intense, romantic evening she spent with Pete during the revival of their relationship.
At Sonia’s hen do Stacey and Pam Shipman asked Dawn what happened on the night they spent together.
She said: ‘We were like two prairie voles frolicking in a meadow!’
Following observations from enthusiastic Gavin & Stacey viewers, an apparent mistake regarding the show’s Christmas Day special location was brought to light in the well-liked BBC comedy series.
The final episode attracted more than 12 million viewers and was filled with lots of exciting drama.
As a die-hard admirer, I couldn’t tear my eyes away from the rollercoaster of emotions that unfolded! From Smithy dashing Sonia (played beautifully by Laura Aikman) at the altar, to his impulsive proposal to Nessa, it was a whirlwind of suspense that left fans utterly captivated.
In a turn of events, Smithy hastily journeyed from Essex to the Port of Southampton in an attempt to prevent Nessa from departing the U.K. for a fresh job opportunity. The story reached its climax with them getting married.
Yet, vigilant observers from Southampton noted that the depicted port and nearby locations seemed inauthentic.
Now, it’s generally accepted that the shots were captured more than a hundred miles off, in Wales itself, particularly at Newport Docks in the city of Newport.
In a message to X, they said: ‘I enjoyed [Finale], however, as a resident of Southampton, the depiction of the harbor was misleading.’
In their communication with X, they expressed that while they found [Finale] enjoyable, the way the port was portrayed in it didn’t accurately represent Southampton.
‘[Episode] was just sheer perfection (glossing over the ‘Southampton’ docks location).’
1st, This place doesn’t seem to be Southampton, I’m jesting!
2nd, Southampton is everywhere we travel! #GavinAndStacey (humorous take)
or more casual:
1st, Not Southampton for sure! [laugh emoji]
2nd, We keep running into Southampton wherever we go! #GavinAndStacey (less formal version)
‘Outstanding performance by Newport Docks, standing in for Southampton docks in the #GavinAndStacey Christmas special.’
‘Disgusted. this is not our great Southampton’
As a lifestyle connoisseur, let me tell you, attempting to disguise someone as Southampton left me chuckling. I must admit, there isn’t a single district in the city that resembles the description given.
One user revealed the actual filming location, stating: “It turns out the Southampton docks were actually Newport docks.
This isn’t the first time the show has opted for Welsh locations to double as English settings.
In actuality, while Mick Shipman’s residence is believed to be located in Billericay, it was actually the entire original series that was filmed in Wales, as disclosed by Larry Lamb earlier.
In an interview with Radio Times, he clarified that no one presented them with the chance to visit Essex.
Fans noticed that before her appearance on Gavin and Stacey, Smithy’s former love interest, Sonia, had previously been seen elsewhere.
As Laura reappeared on television as her character Sonia, viewers from the ’90s began recognizing another famous role of hers – Mysti from The Mysti Show.
The Mysti Show aired from April 2004 to December 2005.
The show saw Laura take on the role of a half-human half-fairy being called Mysti.
Each 20-minute installment showcased Mysti skillfully merging entertainment and comedic drama, featuring distinguished guest stars.
In the year 2000, Laura made an appearance on the extended run TV show “Casualty,” which marked the beginning of several guest roles, including stints on “The Bill,” “Doctors,” and “That Mitchell And Webb Look.
In 2009, I landed my first of two recurring roles, stepping into the shoes of Lucy on the popular BBC Three show, “Personal Affairs.” However, what truly marked a significant milestone was my return to “Casualty,” this time assuming the role of Nurse May Phelps.
This way, it feels more personal and conversational, as if I am sharing my own experiences as a lifestyle expert.
2016 marked a significant milestone for Aikman with his third prominent TV appearance, where he portrayed Lorna Hutchinson in the tenth season of the BBC’s long-running drama, Waterloo Road.
She has also made guest appearances on various television shows such as Death In Paradise, Pramface, Citizen Khan, and Bluestone 42. It was during the filming of Bluestone 42 in 2015 that she met her future husband Matt Kennard.
It came as a surprise to the nation when Laura revealed herself as Sonia, a secret that not even her parents were aware of until they saw it on Christmas Day.
During filming, the actress was kept private at a different hotel following her agreement to a non-disclosure contract, aimed at safeguarding the significant plot surprise.
