Didn’t Nessa owe Doris some money......several thousand if I recall......perhaps that’s why gavin and Stacey got the house

Should James Corden and Ruth Jones be hung upside down by their toes till they agree to a Season 4? Yes.

Betterbegoing · 30/12/2019 06:08

Doris didn’t really like Nessa and Nessa already owed her money which she was being very lazy about repaying.

Dogno1 · 30/12/2019 06:10

Yes! I think it was 3.5k at a repayment of £1 a week? Doris took a stand over making the salad for the christening over it. But Smithy seemed to agree Nessa should have got the house still? Which seemed a bit off imo 🙄

Smithy has always been a complete soft touch with Nessa tho, he’d have given her the world (or a shagged old Volvo and a new bathroom) if she’d picked him over Dave Coaches back in the day

HohohoHahaha · 30/12/2019 06:12

Doris had children and various lovers too.

Shockers · 30/12/2019 06:14

Doris had a soft spot for Gav.

Betterbegoing · 30/12/2019 06:15

I forgot how much she liked Gav 😂

Dogno1 · 30/12/2019 06:25

But she hated her daughter? Even Gwen agreed she was a bitch when they were at school together. Nessa said she should have evoked her squatters rights with Neil (the baby), but I don't think she ever lived with Doris? 🤔

Am I the only one who cannot stand Nessa? As for Smithy, the two of them deserve each other imho

Dogno1 · 30/12/2019 06:54

Nessa is a bit of a grifter tbf. Although I did like her offering Smithy the £200 bag of change from her 'jobs' 😂 Fair play to her she seems to have not taken Smithy to the cleaners even if she's still sponging off Bryn by living at his 10yrs on.

I was actually quite disappointed Stace hadn't turned out to do a degree and some higher paid job, with Gav as a stay at home parent tbh. I felt it'd have been a nice twist on it.

Yes. Nessa should have got the house. She lived there after Neil, the baby, was born. (After Dave Coaches)

Shockers · 30/12/2019 07:14

I love Nessa’s character. My youngest (19) and I have taken to using ‘Oh’ to get one another’s attention Grin.

confusedandemployed · 30/12/2019 07:18

Yeah, Gwen looked after Dor for years, seems only natural that Gavin and Stacey should get the house. Or maybe it was payment in kind to Gav...

Nessa probably still owed Doris thousands when she died. As Nessa herself would say, "You reaps what you sows"

Betterbegoing · 30/12/2019 19:27

@Shockers my sisters welsh other half does actually do that, with no jokey intent meant at all. It’s fantastic Grin

Llareggub · 30/12/2019 19:33

We all do it 😂

My exH (English) thought we all hated each other in our family when he first visited.

NoSauce · 30/12/2019 19:37

No, she was Gwen and Stacey’s neighbour.

Iggleonkupsy · 30/12/2019 19:42

I don't think Nessa should have got the house really and can see why it was left to Gav and Stacey! I am loving how much people are analysing the show!

RuggerHug · 30/12/2019 19:43

She owed her £6000 since 1992! And Doris did love Gav. Probably died happy thinking he'd be in her bed
..soon.

EineReiseDurchDieZeit · 30/12/2019 19:44

Doris was getting justice for the imposition over the salad at Neil The Baby's christening 😂

JolieOBrien · 31/12/2019 03:05

I have been watching the old series on Dave and I still think Nessa is big pain in the butt ... she is funny and I have known confident big women like her ... just look at Gemma Collins. As for Smith he is heading for a heart attack in later years unless he gets his diet under control.Wink

JolieOBrien · 31/12/2019 03:05

Smithy aka James

JolieOBrien · 31/12/2019 03:06

Does anyone know what happened on the fishing trip btw?

MiniGuinness · 31/12/2019 03:33

Well, I don’t like to say. They’d never been camping before see, it could have happened to anyone
