Gavin and Stacey will return for its 'finale' at Christmas, after having ended on a cliffhanger in 2019, and there's already been teases over who will be be back for the new episode
Filming for the much-anticipated festive special of Gavin and Stacey is expected to be underway shortly, ahead of the upcoming "finale" episode then airing at Christmas.
Both James and Ruth are expected to return for the episode, particularly as their characters were part of the last special's cliffhanger. That episode ended with Nessa proposing to Smithy, but viewers didn't see his answer. Mathew Horne and Joanna Page are also expected to reprise their roles, especially as they play the title characters. Joanna, 47, confirmed that she had "signed on" for the special in an interview in July.
Alison, 78, had already led fans to believe that she would be back for the Christmas special. The actor shared in May, shortly after the news of the show's return, that she hadn't yet seen the script but was expected to be in the cast along with on-screen husband Larry Lamb . Asked if they would be involved, she said: "As far as I know, yes. We only found out for definite the other day.
Whilst Oscar Hartland said back in July that he hadn't yet been approached to return, after appearing as the son of Nessa and Smithy previously, including in the most recent special. Oscar, 15, told the Sun at the time: "I'm disappointed. I was hoping to get the call."
