As a devoted fan who has grown up with Gavin and Stacey, I can’t help but feel a mix of excitement and nostalgia as I witness Melanie Walters, the enchanting actress behind the iconic character Gwen, transform once more into her role for the final episode. The thought that this Christmas special might be the last time we see these beloved characters brings a twinge of sadness, but the anticipation of the unfolding storyline keeps me eagerly waiting.


Melanie Walters displayed her timeless elegance, stepping once more into the role of cherished character Gwen.

Enthusiasts of the show Gavin and Stacey found themselves in an excited uproar upon discovering that the cast was shooting a wedding sequence for the eagerly awaited finale on Tuesday.

And among those was Melanie, 62, who has played Stacey’s mother Gwen since 2007.

As I stepped into the set, adorning a chic green blazer and a vibrant floral maxi dress, my radiant complexion shimmered under the studio lights – a testament to the passage of time, seventeen years since I first breathed life into this beloved character.

The actress walked confidently on set, her chestnut hair styled in a mix of an updo and down, particularly for the wedding sequence. She accessorized with a vibrant, flowery headband in the shade of orange.

Following the suspenseful Christmas special, it appeared that James Cordon’s character Smithy might indeed receive a joyful conclusion with Ruth Jones’ Nessa, as he was spotted shooting scenes dressed in a wedding attire.

Actor Steffan Rhodri, known for his role as Nessa’s former fiancé Dave in the show, unexpectedly reappeared on set, creating uncertainty about whether Smithy and Nessa will finally get married after a long period of anticipation.

In the photos, Steffan was spotted wearing a black leather jacket and an eccentric, patterned shirt as he made his way onto the set alongside Julia Davis, known for her role as Dawn Sutcliffe.

In the final episode of the third season, the character made his exit from Gavin and Stacey as Nessa chose not to proceed with their planned wedding.

His surprise return will no doubt spark worry from fans that Smithy declined Nessa’s proposal.

This week, it was observed that Nessa wasn’t present on the set, and she was also spotted not wearing a wedding ring. This has led to even greater conjecture that they may not be getting married.

According to recent updates on Gavin and Stacey, it appears that Sheridan Smith will reprise her role as Smithy’s sister, Rudi, in the final episode. Photos have emerged showing the actress filming an unexpected appearance.

In the first two seasons of the popular series, the actor portrayed an extraordinary character that was noticeable, and they were recently seen filming their parts during the weekend.

According to a source, when the actress returned to the role of Rudy, it seemed as if she hadn’t been away for even a moment.

According to the source, Sheridan was thrilled to have the opportunity to return and her scenes are outstanding.

I’ve discovered that the team is creating an exclusive behind-the-scenes documentary to commemorate our last appearance together.

Barry Island was mobbed last week when the original cast returned to make the finale. 

In a heartfelt manner, an emotional James shared with fans: ‘This feeling is indescribable, knowing that this is our final time on this island. It’s a marvelous experience. This place has been the birthplace of the show, and it truly lies at its core. Every corner brings back memories of when we were here before.’

On the initial day of shooting, the actors posted a photo of a clapperboard with the message: ‘Today marks the beginning of filming for the last episode of Gavin & Stacey. To be honest, we can’t help but feel quite thrilled about it.’

The upcoming episode marks the first new installment of the BBC sitcom since the Christmas special from 2019. In that previous episode, which drew an audience of 12 million viewers, the storyline ended in suspense as Nessa knelt before Smithy, proposing marriage.

The series primarily focuses on the rollercoaster journey of Gavin and Stacey’s romance, as he resides with his family in Billericay, Essex, while she lives in Barry Island.

Over time, the two individuals get married, meanwhile, their dearest companions, Smithy and Nessa, give birth to a child named Neil. He’s currently 15 years old and will be making an appearance in the last episode that will ever air.

Gavin And Stacey’s final episode will air on BBC One on Christmas Day.
