I saw it last night and I do really enjoy it but it feels a bit more forced now, still very enjoyable though.
I love Nessa. Rob Brydon steals it every time though.

It wasn't just waterworks though, it was that fear that she might not be able to have them

Last nights episode was AMAZING.

Loved Stacey and the girl in the pharmacy.

Love that Gav is the only one that notices the total insanity around him.

Love Neil, the baby.

Love it all. Fab fab fab.

flame I understand the fear... until 4 weeks ago I had exactly the same. However, I've never tried to trick anyone in to fatherhood and I'm shocked by that!

I loved Uncle Bryn hugging fingers... was that a look of love or what?

"Would a man really forgive her for such a devious act just because she turns on the waterworks?"

would they f*. deserved a bollocking but she got a hug instead.

skihorse · 11/12/2009 13:48

Also loved that one of the Essex boys had his feet in a Babyliss footbath thing at Uncle Bryn's too!

I'm finding Stacey really annoying now, especially after last night's little stunt.

I went off her rapidly when she appeared, in RL, in Celebrity Adrenaline Junkie and was a complete PITA.

mayorquimby · 11/12/2009 14:39

she's been annoying since season 2.sleeping in till 2 sitting round moping in essex and not getting a job.ringing gavin every 2 seconds

VirginPeachyMotherOfSpod · 11/12/2009 14:40

Really? Stacey was in that?And there was me thinking it was a character

(not sure that it has to be uber relaistic either does it?Unless Barry has changed since we poped over in the summer and tripled its interest rating?)

In Rl the actress seems annoying I have to agree, and the character is as well, but then I am easy to annoy

confuseddoiordonti · 11/12/2009 14:44

Didn't see it - was the bombshell that Stacey is pregnant? And I take it, she had been chucking her pills down the loo (or similar)? Enlighten me please!

Flame · 11/12/2009 15:13

she isn't, and she has since the wedding

Hulababy · 11/12/2009 15:45

DH was saying same thing last night. Not as good this series, but still fun to watch.

TALLULAHBELLEOFTHEBALLROOM · 11/12/2009 15:51

Think it has run out of steam a little. Still worth watching just not quite as good.

But one thing I don't understand - the whole
Owain Hughes - no he doesn't? I just don't get it. Can anyone explain? Or is there nothing to get?

newpup · 11/12/2009 16:42

I think it is supposed to be -Owe wayne Hughs (owain hughs) and do you?!

Stacey has got very annoying! I love Nessa and Gavins mum also Pete and Dawn.

Neil.... the baby is very funny.

skihorse · 11/12/2009 17:07

I don't think it is "owe wayne" - I went to agri college with a bunch of gogs (north waleians) and Owain is one of their names... it would never sound like Wayne - and Wayne just isn't a Welsh (north) name.

lovechoc · 11/12/2009 17:31

I agree with others, this series isn't as good as the very first one. I do feel they are trying too hard (esp James Corden) with their lines.

Stacey is seriously thick as a character which I think makes her all the more amusing. I like the bit in the first episode of the current series when she said ' I think it's because of the depression' and her mum corrects her 'you mean recession' and Stacey said 'yeah that's what I said' in regards to her struggling to find a job.

I shall continue to watch it, am totally addicted!

skihorse · 12/12/2009 08:31

I loved Pete last week. Everyone else looked "merry", Pete looked like he'd been on a 3 day bender!

imnotaceleb · 12/12/2009 12:54

I think this series is just as good as the others, if not better!

Stacey is a bit annoying, but I think she has been since the start. She was especially annoying in the ep when she was trying to get Gav upstairs, when he just wanted to see his family for a bit.

deaddei · 13/12/2009 09:03

I think Gavin and Stacey are the weaker characters- she is very annoying with her dependency on G. Loved the bit in the chemists with the girl.
For me, it's Uncle Bryn, Doris and Gavin's parents neighbours who are the best.
And I love Nessa's throwaway comments about men she has shagged "John Nettles- dirty boy".
