The Leanne/mother reunion could've been prolonged and shown the agonising from Stella's side more, to make us feel for her...instead it was rushed, and they went from strangers, to hating each other to best friends virtually overnightQuote:

I was prepared to give Stella the benefit of the doubt when she first appeared and everyone was moaning about her dodgy accent. She hasn't grown on me, though - in fact, she ruins every scene she's in for me. That accent doesn't sound any more natural to me, either.
Jessie Wallace did a great accent when she played Pat Phoenix in The Road to Coronation Street, so I know it can be done by a southerner (and an ex-Eastender to boot).
