Gavin and Stacey star breaks silence on Dave Coaches spin-off

Gavin and Stacey favourite Gwen star Melanie Walters has spoken out on rumours that a spin-off show could be in the works as the BBC sitcom came to an end last month

As the beloved series Gavin and Stacey wrapped up with a heart-tugging finale last month, Melanie Walters, who portrays Gwen, has opened up about the buzz surrounding a potential spin-off featuring her character.

On a fresh instalment of the Off The Telly podcast, Melanie Walters, known to fans as the lovable Gwen from Gavin and Stacey, faced probing by host Natalie Cassidy on the prospects of headlining her own show: "If someone said to you we're going to make Gwen and Dave's 'In the house', would you do it?".

Melanie tantalised fans with her cryptic reply, offering a non-committal "I don't know, I don't know."

Throughout the series, Melanie's alter ego was the epitome of selflessness, but in the show's climactic episode, viewers cheered as Gwen finally embraced her own desires, sparking a romance with Dave Coaches, brought to life by Steffan Rhodri.

Despite Melanie playing coy about the idea of a spin-off with her on-screen beau, she revealed that another cast member was more than keen on a Gavin and Stacey comeback even after the final episode aired last month, reports Wales Online.

Joanne, co-presenter of the Off the Telly podcast with EastEnders icon Natalie, shared: "Anytime anybody asks Larry (Lamb, who plays Gavin's dad Mick Shipman) though, he always goes 'yes, of course!'"

Debuting in May 2007, the sitcom experienced overnight success as it garnered high praise and rapidly built a devoted fanbase. Its popularity led to the show's second instalment after just a year and the release of a third, final series closely behind.

Last month, Gavin and Stacey, beloved BBC sitcom created and co-starred by James Corden and Ruth Jones, finally concluded in a poignant special Christmas finale, leaving a lasting impact on its viewers.

Opening up about the filming wrap-up on Graham Norton's show, Corden reminisced about how one cast member, namely Joanna Page, felt deeply moved on the final day: "Everyone was there at the end with lots of crying. Joanna who plays Stacey pretty much cried every day. There were lots of goodbyes. It was very emotional."
