Joanna Page, who is well-known for her role in Gavin and Stacey, revealed that she has yet to see the script for the show’s finale. Despite her key role, she hadn’t received the finale’s script, leaving her in suspense about the ending.
The popular BBC sitcom will have its final episode on Christmas Day, but Page said, “I don’t know anything about it.”
The 47-year-old remarked, “I’m no different from anyone else back home. I’m just as eager as everyone else to find out what’s going to happen next. It’s exciting to be in this position and share in the anticipation with everyone.”
“I hope that I don’t end up running around Barry Beach in a bikini, since I haven’t seen the script yet.”
Gavin and Stacey first aired on BBC Three in 2007 and ran for three seasons, plus two Christmas specials, with the most recent one in 2019.
The 2024 finale will tie up several storylines, including whether Smithy will accept Nessa’s proposal. Fans are eagerly waiting to see if he says yes. This episode promises to provide answers to long-standing questions.
I recall reading the script for the last special many years ago, Page told BBC Breakfast. A memory has remained with me, and it seems like a critical second thinking back.
While I was using my phone, I got to the end of what I was doing and saw the message, “Nessa kneels and asks, will you marry me?”
I was deep into the story when suddenly, I hit what seemed like the end. “Wait, what?” I thought, craving more answers, desperate for closure.
I’m just an ordinary person like everyone else, and I’m really curious about what the future holds. What happens next in this journey we’re all on? What are the next steps or events we can expect? It’s a bit of a mystery, isn’t it? I’m eager to find out.
It’s going to be hilarious to gather us all again and see how we’ve all changed since we’ve grown up.
The problem with growing up, according to Page, is that she now realizes she relates more and more to Uncle Bryn, the character played by Rob Brydon.
There are countless things Uncle Bryn has said that have made me think, ‘Oh my gosh, my dad or my uncle has said that too.’ Now that I’m getting older, I catch myself saying things and think, ‘Oh my god, Uncle Bryn would say that!’
As the finale approached, Page reflected on her journey as Stacey. Memories of growth, memorable moments, and personal impact flooded her mind. The role had profoundly shaped her career and personal life. With the series concluding, she felt a blend of nostalgia and gratitude.
She said that when she read it, she found it well-written and it made her laugh.
When I first read the role years ago, I thought, ‘Oh my gosh, no one else can play this. This is me, this is my family.’ The character Stacey is so close to me that I feel very happy playing her.
