Bryn: “It is, Gavin, it is, provided you remember the one golden rule, and I’ll tell you what, it took me a while to get my head round it. What it is, you have to start everything with ‘w-w-w-dot’. And the best thing to do is to think of something to help remind you, like with me now, I think of ‘whiskey with water’ which was my brother – God rest his soul – my brother’s favourite drink. But it could be anything. I mean, you could say… come on, three w’s. Um… ‘women… wearing wings’. No, don’t say that, that’s a terrible one.” Doris "Dor" O'Neill ( Margaret John) – Gwen's elderly next door neighbour. She looks like a stereotypical "little old lady", in sharp contrast to her behaviour and blunt, profanity-littered conversational style. Doris regularly dates younger men, even offering herself up to Gavin for "discreet" extramarital relations, and is described by Bryn as "a player". She has a daughter named Moira, whom she loathes and would like to "smother" if she saw her again. Gwen even goes so far as to say "she was a nasty piece of work". It is Doris who mentions the unfortunate coincidence of Gavin and Stacey sharing the West and Shipman surnames with serial murderers Fred and Rose West and Harold Shipman.
Favourite quote: "Korma is futile!" https://t.co/vGm8NxIpGU— Eman El-Sherbiny (@Emythat) May 28, 2019 Glorified extras. Including Budgie and Fingers in this dump, even if they are fit. Essential but I don’t really like them tier Gavin When Dave becomes engaged to Nessa, Smithy thinks that it is a bad idea as he thinks that Dave shouldn't act as Baby Neil's father. He tells Nessa not to marry him, she cannot understand why as it is her business, and not for Smithy to get involved in despite the fact that she can tell it is about Baby Neil. In Series 1, Smithy thinks that Gavin should not get his hopes up when they are going to meet Stacey, and believes that she might not turn up. And despite the fact that he did not want to go with Gavin, he rather enjoys himself when he is there. He and Nessa have the first of four One Night Stands, which occurred in the en-suite of the hotel room, and involved a toilet brush. He loves unusual beer, paintball and West Ham United. When Nessa gives birth to their son they name him Neil after Smithy himself and Nessa's father. In the series finale, Smithy stops Nessa's wedding declaring his feelings for her, thus causing Nessa and Dave (Coaches) not to get married. He is shown to have obvious similarities to Nessa, such as: refusing to share food, being very upfront, protective of their best friends, and they like most of the same food and drink, such as KFC, corn on the cob, and Irn-Bru. Smithy wears his heart on his sleeve and is given to intense public displays of emotion, and will cry or sulk with little provocation. Smithy eats, drinks and smokes to excess and is overweight.And so: a blind date. Again, this is something that happens to a lot of us over the course of our lifetimes. Taking a gamble, putting yourself out there, and putting hope in the universe that the potential romantic pairing will work out for the best. In coming to London in that first episode, Stacey does what all of us have done at some stage by putting her love life in the hands of fate. Bryn: “I cannot speak the Welsh language. It’s a constant source of embarrassment to me, but Welsh is not my mother tongue.”
Deano ( Mathew Baynton) is a friend of Gavin and Smithy's. He works with Smithy and is known for being gormless and somewhat naïve. He learnt Welsh prior to coming over to Wales with the "Essex Lads". He wasn't at Gavin's stag, but got a T-shirt made afterwards when they went to the foam party. Among his idiosyncrasies is a fondness for drinking a mixture of equal parts tea and coffee, which he calls a "toffee" or a "cea" (pronounced "key"). Are you telling me that the only (openly) gay man we get on Gav and Stace is this boring? Do me a favour. Couldn’t care less tier Owain Hughes Yes! We’re were saying that we’re waiting for people to ask us to do nightclub PAs, dressed as Nessa and Bryn. We’ll be there, we’ll be ready.” Just finally, Christmas is around the corner. Have you started watching the legendary Christmas special again yet? I’ve rewatched all 20 episodes before writing this, and I still couldn’t tell you what they actually do for a living. Something relating to computers – as Gav explains to Bryn after a lengthy tutorial from Rob Brydon’s Welshman about the importance of remembering ‘www.’– is all the show tells us. Because of course, these day jobs aren’t really important. What is important? That would be the bond that the titular duo has formed over countless work-related phone-calls. Once the wedding day has arrived, he has made a Speech that he claims is comedy gold. However, when it comes to the actual speech, he cannot complete the speech as he breaks down in tears. Later on, Nessa states that she has something to tell him, but decides it is nothing.Fat No More Pat – Pam's friend from her fencing class. She was mentioned when Pam asked Stacey if she would like to come along in Pat's absence. N' Simon (Daniel Jeffrey) – A friend of Gavin and Smithy's. He has been friends with them since primary school. He is never seen without his best friend Gary; but he does not appear in Series 3, as it appears he has had an argument with Gary. Catherina "Cath" Smith ( Pam Ferris) – Smithy and Rudi's mother who first appears in the first episode of Series 3. She is rumoured to have had a lesbian relationship with the headteacher of Gavin and Smithy's primary school. She claims to suffer from narcolepsy, though Pam attributes this to her excessive drinking. She attends single mother support groups and has been known to perform lewd acts on webcam, having once accidentally exposed herself to Nessa thinking she was a man named John. Nessa: “He died. Firing squad. Terrible way to go, Stace and I wouldn’t like to see it happen to you. Smugglers, we were. And if it weren’t for my relationship with John Prescott, I’d still be in that jail right now. So yeah, in answer to your question, I’d say no, don’t tell him.” Ar Sheridan starred as Smithy’s sister before she became the ITV drama go to girly, and when she was still dating James Corden (cursed). I always enjoy her carnage, even if she’s a pretty minor character. Deano
Fingers ( Samuel Anderson) – A friend of Gavin and Smithy's. He is so named because of his womanizing attitude. He has an on-off relationship with Stacey's friend, Louise. There are unseen sexual tensions between him and Nessa; they have had several one-night-stands (one of which produced their son), and in some ways, he seems to fancy Nessa. He always seems a bit gutted when she and Dave start dating, especially as he seems to be acting like Baby Neil's father. But once Dave and Nessa's wedding day arrives (Smithy is going to look after Baby Neil until they return from their honeymoon), but Smithy decides to stop the wedding. He reveals that Nessa was only marrying Dave because it was an easy option and because she felt that Smithy wasn't around enough to support her and Baby Neil. And six months later he has migrated to Barry and has grown a liking to Nessa but it likely or unlikely they're a couple.
After the popularity of it all, are you going to make Gavin & Stacey parties a regular thing?
Stacey's mum Gwen is a cheerful character who loves her daughter and is known for making omelets! Sheridan Smith I honestly dropped my phone on the floor when I realised! My friend Caitlin rang me and was like ‘have you seen, have you seen?’ My friends told me to turn my phone off as my notifications were going mad as it gradually got bigger. As soon as I did is the moment that James Corden decides to retweet me. His reaction has made it all worth it. I only started watching it from the third series, I didn’t really know it was a thing before that! But as soon as I knew what it was, I watched every single episode on Christmas Day. I left my family and I was hooked. I just love that it can make you laugh again and again.” After the popularity of it all, are you going to make Gavin & Stacey parties a regular thing?
