James Corden explains reasoning behind ‘trick’ Gavin and Stacey plotline Corden had intended to shock fans with the ‘bait and switch’ storyline of the episode.
In the finale, which aired tonight (25 December), fans were left completely shocked when it turned out that Smithy had spent most of the episode preparing for a wedding with one of the show’s most disliked characters.
“I had this idea at like three o’clock in the morning and I called Ruth and I was like, I wonder if we could trick everybody into thinking that for the first six or seven minutes they’re just going to watch a wedding between Sonia and Smithy.”.
James Corden has admitted he wanted to “trick everybody” with the plotline for Gavin and Stacey’s eagerly awaited finale.
In a dramatic turn of events, everyone rushes to stop Nessa leaving, as Smithy finally declares his love and gets down on one knee to propose.
