At least Laura Aikman can say she was just playing a role, not sure what James Corden’s excuse is for being completely insufferable.
What did she do that was so bad exactly?
Want her fiance to be on time for his suit fitting? Looks like he did need the reminding seeing he slept in anyway.
Not wanting a stripper at her hen do? Good on her for being assertive and saying no.
Not want to spend an evening partying with his fiancé’s ex who he clearly still had feeling for?
Only villain was Smithy for cheating on her with Nessa, being a shitty fiance and then bailing on her on her at the alter. She was right, he was punching.
Absolute villain.
Although I will say, not ok to hire a stripper for someone’s hen do when they’d clearly not be into it and you don’t even know them that well.
No one gives a shite about this pish
I called it at the beginning that the ‘wedding’ would be between Smithy’s girlfriend and him and I was unfortunate to see that I got it right (but happy i’d predicted something right)
I was so happy when he left her at the alter, I was screaming “Take that you stupid bitch” in my head. Laura Aikman is such a good actress.
Classic British TV moments, always iconic
I’ve seen a few people say they would have liked a slightly more complicated character but with only two specials to work with think this was a better option IMO.
Also her purpose is she’s someone who doesn’t get the characters who’ve we grown to know and love over 3 seasons and disrupts the status quo, everyone was always going to hate her so they embraced this and the actress nails it and created some brilliant moments.
Feathers is the epitome of all evil in our Universe.
Nastiest villains were the so-called friends of Smithy who waited until he was about to exchange vows at the altar before telling him his fiancée was not a good match for him. They had FIVE fucking years to tell him. Smithy is obviously too stupid a character and was too besotted with her to realise, but Gavin and his dad should have had a word before the wedding day.
Who?
A totally 1 dimensional character. She existed purely so smithy wouldn’t marry her.
Feathers McGraw, hate that chicken
The thing that worked well here is we know or know of someone just like her. The vapid selfish kind that have live love, laugh somewhere on a wall in their house.
I’ve neither met nor know James Corden unlike all the other people commenting on this thread so I have nothing to say about him.
No idea who that is
I need my eyes testing I thought she was Gandalf as I scrolled past
The actress played it brilliantly though, the barbed comments through the forced pretty smile, she did a great job.
I recently re-watched the whole series and in S1 E6 (Gavin & Stacey’s wedding) I can’t work out whether at 22:50 it’s Sonia in the background.
I can’t work out how to add an image.
Hot take: Smithy and Nessa are both shitty people and I’m glad they ended up together to keep themselves out of the dating scene.

She actually played it so well tbh
