As a dedicated follower of Gavin and Stacey, I must say this news has left me absolutely thrilled! The return of Sheridan Smith as the vivacious Rudy is like a ray of sunshine on a rainy day. Having witnessed her captivating performance in series one and two, I can’t wait to see her magic unfold once more in the Christmas Special.


The exciting news about a significant casting update for the popular show “Gavin & Stacey” has surfaced, with a talented award-winner making an unexpected comeback on the BBC’s comedy series.

The performer who was once a mainstay on the series is poised to appear briefly, as a special guest, during the forthcoming Christmas episode.

In the first and second seasons of the popular TV series, the actor took on a grandiose role and was seen shooting their part during the weekend.

In simpler terms, Sheridan Smith, who portrays Rudi, the little sister of James Corden’s character Smithy, will be returning to her role once more for the final episode.

43-year-old actress wasn’t featured in the 2019 Christmas Special yet it’s said she returned to Barry Island for the recent filming sessions.

As a die-hard fan, I can tell you myself, it felt like Rudy’s shoes were magically fitted onto her feet once again. Time seemed to stand still when I saw the actress reprise her role; it was as if we never parted ways!

According to the source, Sheridan was ecstatic about returning to the group, and her scenes are exceptional.

Apart from being recognized by fans of Gavin and Stacey, the actress, who has just appeared in Opening Night on London’s West End stage, is also a well-known figure to writer James.

During their run on the popular BBC sitcom from 2007 to 2009, the duo were romantically involved. In fact, the previous American talk show host once referred to her as “the love of his life,” before their separation.

The two performers continue to maintain a positive relationship, leaving many spectators eagerly anticipating their unexpected appearance this festive season.

Over the last fortnight, Barry Island has been bustling with activity, and just recently, James, the actress Ruth Jones (known for her role as Nessa), and Oscar Hartland (portraying Neil the baby) have been seen shooting scenes on the streets.

On a Friday afternoon, Oscar stepped out of his car and greeted fans by waving and making the peace sign while waiting to shoot his upcoming scenes.

Simultaneously, it was noticed that James was holding a guitar, hinting at the possibility of a musical performance in the much-awaited finale episode.

Additionally, Uncle Bryn became part of the group, evident by his appearance in his usual business attire, which included a neatly pressed shirt, a tie, and stylish beige slacks.

In the final episode, we’ll see Joanna Page play Stacey and Mathew Horne portray Gavin once more, as the entire group gathers together for the first time since the 2019 Christmas special.

On a delightful Friday morning, I paused amidst the bustle of my work to share a heartwarming slice of my birthday celebration with you all – my cherished fans!

46-year-old Mathew made his debut on set this past Thursday, reconnecting with James Corden after a period of disagreement between them.

The actor ran over to fans with his giant birthday cake which they had bought him, as he pretended to nearly trip and drop it, asking: ‘Has anyone got any cutlery?’

Matthew found himself utterly astonished by the enthusiastic backing from fans for his character ‘Gavalar’ while shooting on Barry Island.

As he walked up the hill while eating chocolate from his cake, fans sang ‘Happy Birthday’ to him.

Another fan shouted: ‘GAV-A-LAR!’

With a chuckle and a bow, he playfully said, “Thanks! By chance, does anyone have any silverware here? None? Let’s gracefully borrow some knives and such from one of these homes.

‘I want you to take that [the cake] and share it’, he told fans.
