Gavin & Stacey Christmas Finale Set to Air on Christmas Day

Actor James Corden has confirmed that he has co-written a highly anticipated finale for the beloved sitcom "Gavin & Stacey," alongside co-creator and co-star Ruth Jones. The special episode is scheduled to air on Christmas Day, following Corden's recent conclusion of a two-month run in Joe Penhall's drama at London's Old Vic. Corden expressed the transformative impact of his theater experience and shared a celebratory moment with Jones after their meeting to discuss the finale. Originally premiering in 2007, "Gavin & Stacey" has captivated audiences with its 21 episodes across three seasons and two Christmas specials. Rob Brydon, who plays Uncle Bryn, recently revealed that the upcoming Christmas special will aim to resolve long-standing storylines from the series. During an interview on Heart Breakfast, Brydon noted that he and many cast members have yet to see the complete script, which is being kept under wraps to prevent leaks. Despite the excitement surrounding the finale, not all cast members are included in the special. Oscar Hartland, who portrayed baby Neil, expressed disappointment at not being invited to participate in the final episode. Hartland, now 15, first appeared in the series in 2008 and was last seen in the 2019 Christmas special, leaving fans curious about the show's direction without his character. As anticipation builds for the Christmas Day airing, fans are eager to see how the creators will tie up the series' loose ends and reveal the truth behind memorable moments, including the infamous fishing trip.
