Gavin and Stacey fans shocked as they rewatch show to discover huge plot hole before new episode

Eagle-eyed Gavin and Stacey fans reckon there's a huge plot hole in the original series of the smash-hit show. Viewers can't wait to catch up with Smithy, Nessa, Gavin and Stacey in the Christmas special next week, which, sadly, marks the end of the road for BAFTA-winning programme.
Of course, we can't wait to find out what's happened to the iconic Uncle Bryn and Stacey's mam, Gwen, too, but fans think they've spotted a plot hole with these characters in the original series. Taking to social media, some have questioned how the Welsh wonders support themselves when they don't appear to have jobs. Sharing their observations, one wrote: "I’ve been rewatching the show as preparation for Xmas day! But something I’ve picked up since rewatching is that Gwen and Bryn seem to never talk about or be employed?".
Another agreed, asking: "How are they affording to live? In season 1 episode 3 Bryn says how Gwen's late husband left her a penniless widow so obviously she won’t be living off any inheritance. Both have pretty standard houses and don’t seem the type to ask for rent from the people who lived there like Gavin, Stacey and Ness." Meanwhile, a third mused: "There’s probably not a real answer to this but would love to hear peoples theories on these two characters employment statuses.".
Sharing their theories in response to the mystery, one person joked: "Organised crime. Bryn is the Don of the Barry Island mafia." Others recalled hints about Bryn’s income during the show, with one noting: "At one point Bryn is explaining how he makes 200-ish a week to Mick ? *I can’t remember how." They continued: " *Edit: I think that whole street also buys/ sells stock; there’s thing about Nessa, Gwen and Doris, buying shares / waiting for the Tokyo stock market to open. So maybe they’re living off that too.".
