James Corden has sparked fears that a fan-favourite Gavin and Stacey character “will die” in the upcoming Christmas special.
In May, creators James Cordon and Ruth Jones announced that the hit comedy show would return for one final episode.
The show will return one last time for a Christmas special this year, with the most recent airing nearly five years ago.
While fans are looking forward to seeing their favourite characters back on the screen again for one last time, James has hinted at the death of Uncle Bryn in the highly-anticipated episode.
Speaking to The Mirror, James confessed: “What we were editing today was a very moving and emotional scene at Bryn’s funeral. I’m joking, I promise. Or am I?”
Fuelling the speculation, Rob Brydon, who plays Bryn, revealed he was “moved to tears” by the script of the last ever episode.
Gavin and Stacey, created by James and Ruth Jones, first aired in 2007 and initially ran for three seasons, with it coming to an end in 2010.
The show followed the title characters as they begin their relationship together, attempting to combine their two families – one in Wales and one in England.
The show returned for a one-off Christmas special in 2019, where we saw how the characters we knew and loved have grown up and how their lives have changed.
Last month, taking to X the BBC has marked the end of filming for the finale of the hit comedy show.
They wrote: “And that’s a wrap… for the last time ever 🎬”
“See you on Christmas Day! 🥹🎄 #GavinAndStacey”
The creators of the show took to Instagram to share the exciting news of the return in May.
James and Ruth wrote: “Some news… It’s official!!! We have finished writing the last ever episode of Gavin and Stacey. See you on Christmas Day, BBC One. Love Ruth and James ❤️”
The post shows the two holding up the finished script, revealing the title of the episode: “Gavin and Stacey: The Finale.”
The show returned for a one-off Christmas special in 2019, which left viewers begging for another episode after its shock ending.
Now, fans of the hit show will get to meet the characters again for one last time.
