The actor who plays Neil the Baby in Gavin and Stacey has confirmed he has not been approached about the show's upcoming final episode, which will air on Christmas Day
Oscar Hartland, who fans of Gavin and Stacey will recognise as Neil the Baby, has revealed that he hasn't been contacted about the upcoming Christmas special. The 15 year old actor has played Neil, the son of James Corden 's Smithy and Ruth Jones' Nessa, since he was a baby, with his most recent appearance being in the 2019 Christmas special.
He fondly recalled his time on the show, saying: "I loved working on the show although I obviously can't remember my first spell as baby Neil because I was so young. But I had a great time working again when I was 10, especially as I had to have a month off school. All my scenes were with Ruth and she was brilliant with me, we got on really well."
Reflecting on why he was chosen for the role, Oscar said: "I was quite chubby then so I suppose I fitted the bill, Smithy and Nessa would have to have a chubby son. I think that's why I got the part when I was a baby, I was chubby then too." After news broke about the official comeback of the comedy series, actor-writer Ruth has been hounded by eager fans seeking spoilers. However, instead of revealing any juicy details, she has decided to tease them, claiming that most of the series' beloved characters will unfortunately meet their demise due to a potential "helicopter crash."
