Ruth Jones drops MAJOR Gavin and Stacey ‘death’ bombshell in upsetting twist
Ruth Jones, the star of Gavin and Stacey, has suggested that holiday fans might experience a death.
On Tuesday, Ruth and co-creator James Corden revealed that they would be wrapping up the BBC sitcom later that day on Zoe Ball’s BBC Radio 2 Breakfast Show. After 17 years of entertaining fans with the dramas involving Gavin and Stacey Shipman, Nessa, Pam and Mick, as well as Gwen and Uncle Bryn, the show will come to an end on Christmas Day.
The final scene of the most recent episode, which aired on December 25, 2019, will be the focus of the new episode, according to writer Ruth. Following years of a turbulent relationship, Nessa proposed to Smithy in a dramatic twist. But in a major bombshell, Ruth, 58, hinted that there could be more to be upset over, rather than the fact the show is coming to an end.
“It’s strange, James and I have always felt, they really do exist”, she said when asked whether they were “ready” to say goodbye. Ruth added: “It’s not like they’re dying, well… Watch the final”, as Zoe and those in the studio let out an audible gasp. Zoe exclaimed: “Oh gosh, the whole console have got their hands on their mouth. What”? !
The Welsh actress and comedian continued: “We feel like they still exist, for us, they’re carrying on living their lives in Barry, or in Billericay it’s just that we are not party to what goes on in their life anymore”. However, James and Ruth’s relationship with one another ended nearly 20 years ago, leaving fans unsure of what might have transpired during their infamous fishing trip with Uncle Bryn and Jason.
No one has mentioned the trip in detail, and neither has spoken about it. Before the conversation’s topic is changed, the room automatically becomes silent when the trip is brought up. However, the cast members had one last laugh together, making it seem like any drama is firmly rooted in the past.
Ruth and James confirmed that the team’s final meeting will soon be right around the corner despite having enjoyed working together once more during their appearance on The Breakfast Show. The pair will be joined by Joanna Page, Mat Horne, Rob Brydon, Alison Steadman, Larry Lamb and Rob Wilfort as they take over the BBC Radio 2 Breakfast Show for one day on Monday, December 23.
Despite fans clamoring for more episodes in the future, Ruth confirmed that this would be the last time she and her co-stars would appear together. Ruth revealing that James Corden had decided she would take over the mixing deck for the morning, suggests that the group has already figured out their roles.
Ruth recently confirmed that there were plenty of tears on the set as the filming came to an end. She said: “It was sad, of course. These characters will be on screen for the last time in years. And it was nostalgic because the actors and I would travel down memory lane on set.
Meanwhile, James who plays Gavin’s best friend, Smithy commented: “Gavin &, Stacey is just a huge part of my life, it changed my life in every way. My friendship with Ruth is what it means to me most. 20 years ago, you had an idea with a friend in a hotel in Leeds, and now you are sitting here with what it has become. If you think too much, you might just start crying all the time. I’m so proud of what we accomplished because I adore her so much.
Joanna, 47, who plays Stacey, said: “Being on set for the last time with everybody for the last day was traumatic. I kept crying unapologetically. I simply alternated between laughing and crying. Simply put, it seemed like the journey was coming to an end for such a large amount of time.
