To fancy Dave Coaches?

I know he’s riddled but if he could just sort that out…? Am I the only one? When I see the actor in anything else I am absolutely unbothered so it’s definitely when he plays the character.

I love Dave. He used to live in my road!!

Steffan Rhodri is the best actor in G&S by a country mile.
I also love the character.
And he's very... male.

I saw him in Macbeth with Ralph Fiennes earlier this year and he was brilliant as Banquo. A real standout.

This sums it up I think Grin

I’d make him a decent omelette 😁

sailorJulia · 01/01/2025 00:10

Yep. I get it!

marmaladeandpeanutbutter · 01/01/2025 00:13

Definitely unreasonable.

the80sweregreat · 01/01/2025 00:19

I don't fancy him, but I agree he was a lot of fun on G and S and a very good actor

AliTheMinx · 01/01/2025 00:23

This made me chuckle! I just rewatched The Finale and actively thought that he was quite unfortunate looking (in his role as DC) 🤣🤣

Not Chris Evans though. More your Anthony Worrall-Thompson

Damian Lewis - he's ginger 😀

This thread has cheered me right up tonight , thank you 😂

I’m guessing the Charles Dance comments are Gavin & Stacey related but I can’t remember that bit. Can anyone explain?

Previous/first Christmas special when Dawn talks about fancying gingers, including Dave.

Not long before Stacey announces the move to Barry and all hell breaks loose.

I have voted YABU but now I’ve read through the comments and Googled the actor…I’m questioning my choice and could be swayed with a pint. Of wine.

@Gem359 It's a Welsh thing. Name followed by job or something relating to your job.

ie

Bob the logs (firewood supplier)
Dave coaches (coach driver)
Jeff the death (undertaker)
Dai bread (baker)
Phil coal

Etc

We have it in the West Country too. In my parents village we have John the Tyres, John the Shop and John the Ferrari.

Amybelle88 · 01/01/2025 00:41

Weirdly, I totally get it 😂😂

VictorianChic · 01/01/2025 00:41

I said on another thread recently that I saw the actor at a cricket match and he was attractive in person, with “presence”.

I can see the appeal of him, but not of his character in that shabby caravan.

Jesus, Fingers is well hot. Even with his gout.

You're crazy, I'd even prefer Uncle Bryn!

No. Definitely not.

Now, Mick on the other hand...

Oh! Back off! Mick's taken!

itsstillmehere · 01/01/2025 01:03

😳😳😳😳

Compash · 01/01/2025 01:35

And he speaks Welsh. Having a couple of languages is always a bit sexy...

CatchHimDerry · 01/01/2025 01:54

@LastNightMyPJsSavedMyLife

I’m Welsh and have heard a few in my time but “Jeff the Death” is a new one on me and has killed me off 😂👌🏼

We have a “Dai End House”, guess where he lives… “Dai the Milk” was my dad when he was on the rounds, “Bob the Brush” (Chimney Sweeper) etc etc

MrsToothyBitch · 01/01/2025 02:46

One night only because that's an exceptional bag he's packing and I want the fishing trip details.

I don't fancy him enough to become Mrs Coaches but he seems nice now he's hopefully over the disease; he was very accepting of Nessa leaving him at the altar and he really cared for Neil. Getting decked by Pete rather damaged his cred though.

And yes he obviously had had an std! Nessa and I think maybe Bryn make reference to it in S1 - Nessa does so in the pilot. The bingo caller in S2 then hilariously calls him out on it as well- his wife is "Maria from the clinic" whom Dave also knows!

Ugh, no. Mick for me.
