Joanna Page shares a funny story about reading the Gavin & Stacey finale script at a service station, nearly getting a parking fine in the process
Swansea: So, Joanna Page, the actress from Gavin & Stacey, had a pretty funny moment when she first read the finale script. She was driving home from another job and decided to stop at a service station for a burger. While waiting, she checked her phone and, boom, there it was—the script! Can you imagine? She was so excited, thinking everyone around her would love to see it too.
After munching on her burger, she realized she better move to another service station before she got a parking fine. So, she hopped back in her car and drove to the next spot to finish reading. She was even voice noting her co-stars, freaking out about all the surprises in the script. It’s such a relatable moment, right?
Joanna also talked about how much the show means to her. She started acting in it when she was 29, and now at 47, she feels like Stacey is a part of her. It’s been a huge part of her life, and she’s made lifelong friends through it. Plus, she loves that it put Wales on the map with a show that features Welsh characters.
She’s really proud of what they’ve created together and feels lucky to have been part of such a beloved series. The finale is set to air on Christmas Day, and fans are super excited to see how it all wraps up. It’s going to be a bittersweet moment for everyone involved!
