We can't keep up with the reunion rumours!
Last updated 10th Dec 2020
The Gavin and Stacey reunion saga continues, we canโt keep up with the cast of the show, who all seem to have a different view on the hit showโs potential return.
Ruth Jones admitted that there were no plans for the shows return on the cards, which devastated fans.
However, this was then followed by James Corden, who played Smithy and wrote the show with Ruth, confessing that he would love to return to the show, but confirmed it isnโt something they are working on right now.
Well the plot thickens, as Alison Steadman who plays Gavinโs mum Pam, in the hit show has revealed she is โwaiting to hearโ about a potential Gavin and Stacey Christmas special.
When Alison was asked about a possible Christmas Special on BBC Morning Live on Thursday (10th December), the actress said, โWell look, this announcementโs been made but James and Ruth havenโt said anything to us and everythingโs very quiet.โ
Alison then added, โTheyโve obviously got to write this thing, which is an enormous task, so, honestly we donโt know. Weโre waiting to hear like everyone else.โ
One positive to take from this is that Alison is up for returning to our screens as Pam, the actress revealed that when Ruth Jones contacted her last year about the Christmas Special, she was left โbreathlessโ with excitement.

All we can do is keep our fingers crossed that we will have a Gavin and Stacey reunion at some point in the future.๐ค
