Gavin and Stacey viewers have one common complaint about major finale scene
Gavin and Stacey fans all seem to have the same complaint after noticing a major character was missing from key moments in the finale.
This Christmas Day saw one of Britain's most beloved comedies air its finale episode, truly the end of an era. And we're still not over it.
Pulling in a massive 12.3 million viewers, Gavin and Stacey: The Finale finally (finally) saw the resolution of the show's real love story.

We're, of course, talking about the moment Smithy and Nessa were finally able to fully admit their feelings to each other after 17 years of will they/won't they moments.
The big emotional pay off came after Ruth Jones and James Corden spent over an hour putting fans through the through the wringer one last time, as Smithy nearly married mis-matched fiancee Sonia, while Nessa travelled to Southampton in order to 'work on the ships' once again.
But it was all worth it to see the pair finally get married in-front of their family friends before taking a group photo together.
However, viewers were left a little confused after noticing that major character was missing in the finale scene.
Where the hell was Neil the baby?
Played by Oscar Hartland, Neil the baby was a huge part in Smithy and Nessa's story, with the teenager amongst the congregation to stand up in agreement that his dad shouldn't marry Sonia. However, Neil was surprisingly absent from the chaotic drive to find Nessa in Southampton and the final photo, a move which appeared strange given the fact that events involved both of his parents.
Viewers watching along at home were also baffled by the decision and headed to social media to share their complaints.
"Why was Neil 'the baby' left at his dad's failed wedding with nobody he knows whilst all the others went to off to Southampton," one user commented.
"Really feel for Neil the Baby. Smashes his ‘Blackbird’ performance but isn’t invited on the bus to see his mum and dad finally get together, a second person penned. "Socialising at a wedding is hard enough for a 16 year old."
"Only issue I have with the whole episode is that Neil the Baby was left behind! It’s his mum & dad," a third viewer commented, while a fourth added: "poor Neil the Baby not involved in the final pic, and how he didn’t make the trip on Dave’s coaches hahahah."
Eagle-eyed viewers did notice that Neil the baby was present to watch his mum and dad exchange vows, with the final photo likely a final nod to the characters we've all grown to love over the years.
