Gavin and Stacey stars Joanna Page and Ruth Jones have paid tribute to their late co-star Margaret John, who played Doris O'Neill in the hit BBC sitcom, ahead of the final episode
The late Gavin and Stacey star Margaret John, who delighted audiences as the cheeky Doris O’Neill, has been fondly remembered by Joanna Page and Ruth Jones. With emotions running high ahead of the final 2024 Christmas special of the hit BBC sitcom, the two actresses shared heartfelt memories during a segment on BBC Sounds titled Barry Island Discs.
Meanwhile, Ruth also the show's co-creator alongside James Corden, revealed director Chris Gernon knew straight away that Margaret was meant for the role of Doris. The Nessa Jenkins actress recalled: "I do remember when we were casting Gavin and Stacey and we had this character of Doris, the next-door neighbour who was a little bit rude.
"Getting off the bus, walking across the road and going ‘Alright Dor?' and then she gives me advice on what I should be like when I travel up to London to see Gavin, and she gives me a little bit of saucy advice." From that moment I just thought 'Oh my god, this woman is just so hilarious and lovely, and brilliant.'
