As a long-time fan who has followed the ups and downs of Gavin & Stacey since its inception, I must say that seeing Rudi return for the last ever episode was like a warm hug from an old friend. It’s been over a decade since we last saw her, and watching her navigate life as a mother of twins Brighton and Aldi was a delightful surprise.
In the final episode of Gavin & Stacey, a popular character who fans have been eagerly waiting for will make an appearance once more. Actress Sheridan Smith is set to reprise her role for a short scene during the 2024 Christmas special.
In the popular BBC sitcom’s second and third seasons, the actor was frequently cast as the younger sister of character Smithy, known as Rudi Smith. Notably, this role led to a video of her and James Corden rapping together on Estelle and Kanye West’s “American Boy” becoming viral.
Unfortunately, Rudi wasn’t part of the 2019 holiday special, causing fans to speculate whether this absence would be addressed in the final episode. There have been whispers on the web this year that Smith might reappear again.
Following the much-anticipated airing of the episode on both BBC One and iPlayer, it’s official! Rudi makes a short appearance in the scene, attending Smithy’s wedding as a guest.
It’s clear that many things have evolved in Rudi’s life since her appearance in the 2010 season 3 finale, as she now makes an entrance at the venue with a double stroller, housing her two young children, Brighton and Aldi.
Later on, Rudi shares with Smithy’s companions that he isn’t particularly fond of Sonia (portrayed by Laura Aikman). He admits that they haven’t worked much to establish a connection within the family circle.
In a brief yet charming manner, Rudi hastily takes away her sobbing children, leaving no further lines for the rest of the episode. Yet, the enthusiastic audience is delighted simply by her inclusion in the joyful ending ceremony.
2019 saw Smith addressing rumors about her not appearing in the holiday special, with certain fans proposing that this could be a result of past tension between her and Corden, an ex-partner of hers from long ago.
Smith vigorously refuted the theory, expressing surprise on her subsequently deleted X account (through Hello!) about how “exaggeratedly distorted some people enjoy making situations.
She commented, “I appeared in just four episodes. Why would they want to reintroduce me if there’s neither a conflict with James nor any storyline? Relax!
In 2021 on Rob Brydon’s podcast, Smith expressed her admiration for the 2019 reunion special, calling it a “masterpiece.” She was particularly impressed by how Corden and co-writer Ruth Jones managed to recreate the original charm after such a long absence.
In the final episode of Gavin & Stacey, many secondary characters made a comeback, among them being Smithy’s mother, played by Pam Ferris (as Cath), along with Andrew Knott, Russell Tovey, and Samuel Anderson, who portrayed his friends from Essex.
