Oscar Hartland, one of the original babies to play Smithy (James Corden) and Nessa’s (Ruth Jones) child in the original Gavin and Stacey, returned for the highly-anticipated finale. His standout feature in the 2024 special came towards the end of the episode during Smithy and Sonia’s (Laura Aikman) wedding.

During the ceremony, he is called onto stage and plays a stirring, acoustic guitar, rendition of The Beatles’ Blackbird. And was then part of the crowd in support of Smithy ditching his wedding to Sonia and chasing his mum Nessa cross-country to finally marry the love of his life. A picture-perfect ending, sigh.

The South Wales actor’s ‘beautiful’ cover and overall re-appearance in the show delighted fans and made them very emotional. ‘That part of Gavin & Stacey is such an emotional moment. Neil the baby’s singing at the wedding really tugs at the heartstrings, especially paired with the montage of Nessa packing,’ user B.M. Badav wrote.

The Smithy star, 46, was pictured alongside his on-screen son Neil the Baby - played by Oscar Hartland (PICTURED) - as he carried the guitar in a case. In one scene Smithy stepped out of his blue Volvo car look grim faced before walking up the road with Neil and the guitar. Oscar, 15, flashed a peace sign to dozens of fans who braved the weather to watch the filming take place in Barry, South Wales, between breaks in the rain. Ruth Jones, 57 was also there dressed as Nessa in a long jack puffer jacket and black top bearing a tiger's face as they filmed on Trinity Street where both Gwen and Unlce Bryn live. Rob Brydon was in attendance dressed as Bryn wearing chinos, a blue striped shirt and a tie as he and Corden admired the crowds. WALES NEWS SERVICE]
