Fans of the beloved BBC show, Gavin and Stacey, noticed the absence of a recurring character in the final episode. Ruth Jones, co-creator of the show, revealed that Dick Powell, Barry's eccentric salesman friend, was originally slated to appear but was ultimately cut due to time constraints.
Gavin and Stacey fans were quick to spot a 'missing' character from the BBC show - as Ruth Jones admitted there was 'no room for him'. And loyal followers were rewarded with the perfect ending as James Corden’s Smithy realised he was meant to be with Nessa. Some viewers will remember Barry's own Del Boy, Dick Powell , who has popped up throughout the series, flogging random wares.

Will you marry me?”, who plays Nessa, said simply: “I hope we did you proud.” She added: “I’m not going to lie, I’m feeling a bit drained!” The one-off episode, which aired at 9pm, has been confirmed as the final instalment of Gavin & Stacey, which first screened in May 2007, after three series and three Christmas specials. It included several shock twists as we caught up with characters last seen in 2019’s festive one-off, in which Nessa proposed despite Smithy being engaged to Sonia., who plays Gavin’s dad, Mick, said of the final episode: “I do not think I can ever remember being so moved by something.” Alison Steadman, who portrays Gavin’s mum Pam, added: “I don’t normally cry and get over-emotional, but I was just completely choke
