> Meanwhile, Nessa is reluctant to come to the celebrations and eventually admits to Stacey that Smithy never gave her an answer and that they were actually interrupted by Gavin before Smithy answered – and they’ve never spoken about that moment since. Nessa, clearly upset by the outcome, decides she wants a change with Neil, the baby who is starting an apprenticeship with his father in Essex, and decides to go back to work on a freighter, leaving Barry. »ei5t8k32Aw3″
