Gavin and Stacey star gives huge update as fans beg for new Christmas special
Gavin and Stacey star Joanna Page has shared her thoughts at the possibility of a new episode being filmed after fans noticed show creators Ruth Jones and James Corden have been spending time together.
The 46-year-old Welsh actress played lead character Stacey Shipman across all 21 episodes of the hit BBC comedy. The last time the show aired was in 2019 when a Christmas special was presented - nine years after the third season had appeared on screens.
Earlier this month, 57-year-old Ruth and 45-year-old James - who created and wrote Gavin & Stacey - were spied wandering around Soho in London together, looking in high spirits and laughing. The sighting sparked excitement among Gavin & Stacey fans who hoped that the reunion could signify that the duo were planning to sit down together to write fresh episodes.
Now Joanna has shared her own thoughts about the possibility of the BBC show being revived after four years. Fans of the show will recall the last Christmas special ended on a cliffhanger as Nessa, played by Ruth, got down on one knee to propose to Smithy, played by James, only for the episode to end before his response was heard.

"I wouldn't be surprised if I didn't get the call, and I wouldn't be surprised if I did. But all I can say is, if they were going to do another one I hope it's soon because we're all getting so old, I don't particularly want to see Stacey get that much older."
Joanna went on to suggest she would only find out about a new episode being created at the same time as the public, as she insisted that she is always the last of the cast to find out, however, the star hinted at where she thinks the show could continue to next. She said: "Gavin and Stacey kids would be teenagers now, so that would be quite funny to see."
The cast of the hit show also includes Mathew Horne as Gavin Shipman, Larry Lamb as Gavin’s father Michael ‘Mick’ Shipman, and Alison Steadman as Pamela ‘Pam’ Shipman - Gavin’s mum. While Melanie Walters played Stacey’s mother, Gwen West, and Rob Brydon plays Stacey’s mysterious uncle Brynfor ‘Bryn’ West.
Earlier this year, Larry and Alison shared behind-the-scenes secrets from the show that left fans in shock - as it was revealed the show was filmed exclusively in Wales and not at all in Essex. Larry confessed to Radio Times: “Gavin & Stacey was all filmed in Wales, nobody offered us the opportunity to go to Essex… [Producers] said, 'Billericay's where you're from', so we just got on with it, we just do what we're told.”
