bullet::::- david "dave coaches" lloyd gooch (steffan rhodri) - coach driver in barry and nessa's fiancé, after they got engaged in the christmas special. aspersions are cast regarding his sexual health in series 1, although it is revealed in series 2 that he has been to "the clinic". he is the only person, other than bryn and jason, who knows what happened on the fishing trip, after bryn told him to get the matter off his chest. his relationship with nessa results in both bryn and jason being incredibly nervous about him telling their friends what happened, although he makes it very clear to bryn he wouldn't tell anyone about it. he also has his own company named dave coaches. he often shows jealousy towards smithy for being the father of nessa's child. smithy gets jealous of him for always spending time with his son and treating him like his own. in the final episode he leaves nessa at the altar as he doesn't believe she loves him. nessa's father mentions him having "blood on his hands", but says he was joking, knowing that "nothing was proven". dave often has a strained relationship with the other characters, and has publicly had angry exchanges with bryn, smithy and pete, who punched dave in the face after he made an uncharitable remark about his wife, dawn.

bullet::::- vanessa shanessa "nessa" jenkins (ruth jones) - nessa is stacey's best friend, also from barry. she discovers she is pregnant in the fourth episode of series 1 and it is later revealed that smithy is the father following the second time they were intimate at pam and mick's house. she speaks fluent italian and welsh, has several tattoos, most notably a large red dragon on her right upper arm. she is a chain smoker (except during her pregnancy) and was one of the original members of all saints (but didn't get along with shaznay). she works at the barry island amusement arcades or "the slots". nessa regularly recalls strange and often lewd experiences with celebrities. she gives birth to baby neil in the finale of series 2 and becomes engaged to dave coaches in the 2008 christmas special. in the series finale, smithy declares his feelings for nessa at her wedding, and dave accepts that nessa never really loved him, always replying "i know" when he told her he loved her, and that he was the father figure that smithy will now be. nessa's age is unknown throughout the show even to stacey. to date she has slept with gavin's best friend smithy four times. her catchphrases include "ohhhh", "tidy", "genuine", "truth be told", "immense", "i'm not gonna to lie to you", "what's occurring?" and on occasion "what's appertaining?". in the third series, it was discovered that she is an aston villa fan. she has jet black bob-style hair and wears gothic style make up. she is serious, ongoing and surprisingly intelligent at times. she has had a number of interesting occupations including being a bbc radio producer, a roadie for "the who", and driving trucks for eddie stobart (who gave her two trucks to keep when she left,) and a running feature of the programme is her wide range of impressive occupations, abilities (apart from speaking fluent italian she is an excellent ten pin bowler) and acquaintance or relationships with various famous people. the reaction of those around her to mention of these invariably suggests that they are factual rather than a fantasy, despite the rather incongruous fact that she now works as a cashier at an amusement arcade in barry.
