Joanna Page shares her thoughts on leaving the beloved role of Stacey in Gavin & Stacey as the show wraps up this Christmas.
Billericay: Joanna Page just opened up about why she won’t miss playing Stacey Shipman in Gavin & Stacey. The show is wrapping up with a special episode on Christmas Day.
This final episode is a big deal, and while we don’t know all the details, we do know that Stacey and Gavin are looking to spice things up in their marriage. Plus, Pam is feeling the pressure of hosting everyone.
Joanna and her co-star Larry Lamb were on The One Show recently, chatting about the finale with the hosts. It’s clear they’re excited but also a bit nostalgic.
After three series and a couple of Christmas specials, the creators have confirmed this will be the end of the road. Joanna mentioned that while she won’t miss playing Stacey, she’ll always carry a piece of her with her.
She said, “Stacey is the closest character I’ve ever played to myself,” and that’s a pretty special thing. The real loss for her will be the family vibe they all shared during filming.
So, mark your calendars! Gavin & Stacey: The Finale airs on Christmas Day at 9pm on BBC One. It’s going to be a bittersweet goodbye for fans.
