Gavin & Stacey star Joanna Page has teased that if another reunion special were to happen, it would most likely come completely \u201cout of the blue\u201d in a similar vein to 2019\u2019s shock festive return.<\/p>\n
The beloved sitcom came back after almost a decade off the air, catching us up with fresh developments in the lives of its title characters, as well as dropping a killer cliffhanger as no-nonsense Nessa (Ruth Jones) got down on one knee and popped the question to Smithy (James Corden).<\/p>\n
The credits rolled before we got to hear his response, leaving fans desperate to find out whether the on-again-off-again couple would finally get together for good, but Jones has been non-committal about whether they will ever resolve the plot thread \u2013 telling reporters last year<\/a> that there\u2019s \u201csomething nice about leaving it hanging in the air\u201d.<\/p>\n Joanna Page, who plays Stacey Shipman in the series, recently revealed to the Daily Mirror<\/a> that she plans to give up acting in order to focus on television presenting, but added that another Gavin & Stacey<\/a> episode would be one of the only projects to tempt her back.<\/p> \u201cWe all want to know what Smithy said at the end,\u201d she said. \u201cIt\u2019s such a great job. You\u2019re working with people who make you laugh all day long like Rob Brydon. The Christmas special felt like a big reunion.\u201d<\/p>\n The Welsh actor, who is preparing to co-host The Pet Show for ITV, had no information on whether Gavin & Stacey creators Jones and Corden were planning another special, but speculated it would come when audiences least expect it \u2013 as was the case in 2019.<\/p>\n \u201cNone of the rest of the cast ever expected we would do another special,\u201d added Page. \u201cWe didn\u2019t have a clue. After the third series ended we were told, \u2018this is it, there won\u2019t be any more\u2019 so it was such a complete shock. I\u2019d expect if it was ever going to be on TV again that getting another phone call out of the blue is what would happen.\u201d<\/p>\n While not the confirmation that many have been hoping for, fans can take comfort in the fact that several cast members have voiced their enthusiasm for the prospect of returning to Gavin & Stacey, with Alison Steadman<\/a> (Pam) and Melanie Walters<\/a> (Gwen) chief among them.<\/p>\n Gavin & Stacey is available to stream on BBC iPlayer.
