GAVIN and Stacey will come to an end for a final time this Christmas, says star Joanna Page. The Welsh actress , 47, believes the new festive special will “100 per cent” be her last in the role of Stacey after 17 years. But she doesn’t know what’s in store for the characters — with the BBC show’s last outing in 2019 ending with Nessa proposing to Smithy .
Joanna said of reading that script: “I was like, ‘What? Oh my god, where’s the rest?’.” Of the forthcoming special , she told her Off The Telly podcast: “I mean, there’s so much they could do, isn’t there? “I’m older now than Mel [Walters] was playing Gwen on the first series.” Alison Steadman , 77, starred as Gavin’s mum Pam - or “Pamelaaa” as she was known by Smithy, also spoke recently about the upcoming special.
Asked if her character will feature in the one-off festive special, Alison said, "yes!". The TV legend revealed it was very early days but insisted: "I know it’s going to happen. "I just haven’t seen the script – none of us has seen the script.
".
