[QUOTE=Jakes_stuff;774995]No, you won't resort to personal opinions of members because they are around to defend themselves, you insult actors who won't waste the time to come on here to defend themselves - I would like you deliver your opinions to Michelle Collins face to face, my bet is you wouldn't say a word![/
I was going to dignify your post with a reply but you are not worth bothering about. If all you want to do is criticise my posts then go ahead and have fun I really do not give two flying figs.

I love Stella actually. The stuff that comes in a bottle not the vacuous landlady in Corrie

Hi Jake, gosh you really do take yourself very seriously. Stress is really not good for you nor unaddressed anger, they can seep out at inappropriate times.
Jakes_stuff.. that was a warning that you failed to take heed off. I have received a number of complaint about you and the fact now that you have a personal attack at both myself and Alan is enough to ban you. As for attacking actors, that is their job, they will be criticised and praised, it is part of the package.. Thank you for your insights in the human race..Quote:

That's it, that's the best you can come back with?? Oh well............. :lol::lol::lol:
I'm sure Michelle Collins will be delighted to know the mentality of her No. 1 fanboy or girl
The thread really has gone dowhill, lets just face it Michelle Collins as Stella is staying and lets move on please
You've obviously forgotten to take your meds for a couple of days, Jakes_stuff. I suggest you go and have a lie down and call the nurse.
I don't think the thread should be closed because of a sad little troll who has nothing better to doQuote:

Anyway I still say they St. Ella will be gone within the year
Goodbye c.r.a.p.p.y soapboards - FORVER!!!
Himmmmmm as flounces go, I've seen a lot better :lol:
I would like to apologies for all this as I was sure I had banned Jakes_stuff yesterday and didn't expect a torrent of abuse from him/her. He/she is definitely banned now and won't come back as NB can trace the iP address
Shiv,
I sincerely hope NB reports this sad little twit to his ISP and the legal authorities. I have many disagreements on this board with people over my view but none of them resort to such ignorant, disgusting or offensive posts. We argue, disagree but at the end of the day we still remain friends even if we have opposing views. Jakes stuff was a troll who seemed to have a personal vendetta against me because of his/her fantasy relationship with St. Ella. People agreed with some of his replies which was fair enough until the abuse started and then we saw the true nature of soapboards where we can agree to disagree. I just want to thank everyone for their support and look forward to resuming our normal friendly arguments later.
Thanks Shiv. xx
I really think there are worse people in the soap than Stella, take Karl for instance, and NIck, talk about bad casting, only thing wrong with Stella was her script if they had give her a decent script, viewers would have forgive her foibles, but as she's had such a week part, how can viewers "warm" to her.
Her accent is not that bad, and i know lots of people who were born and bred in an area but don't necessarily have the local accent!
Believe it or not, my ear just doesn't hear the diiference in how she speaks compared to the other cast members. I just don't feel any connection to the character and don't really care what happens to her. I've watched soaps all my life and the part that I like is that the characters draw us in and make us care about them, for good or bad. The Stella character is dull, when she's on I just want that part to be over. The Karl stoyline is annoying but I still want to see what happens to him. I keep thinkng that they will give Nick something interesting to do, so far that hasn't happened.Quote:

How many times has the rovers changed hands in Leeannes lifetime. Unfortunately Michelle Collins is not up to the part which is a major role and sadly well beyond her limited ability
I agree mostly with what alan says above. The only thing I'm not so sure about is that Michelle Collins couldn't handle a major role. I used to really like her as Cindy and think if she had a decent role she could handle it ok. But the character she has been given to play and the storylines and dialogue she has been involved in have given her absolutely no chance for us to judge one way or the other. That's my two pennorth anyway.
Thats my point. As a character she was growing on me, the accent was not really noticable any more then there was talk of bringing in her mother which i thought was great, she had some good scenes with Leanne and then since then shes been in EVERY story! and on screen ALL the time! if she had chance to just focus on her own storylines then i think she would be a lot better.
I must be missing something, and being a Northerner myself. I've heard far worse fake accents than hers to be quite honest.Quote:

Yes Michelle can act and besides EE has been very good in Sunburn and Rock RivalsQuote:

The damage has been done to the St. Ella character now. IMHO there is no way back. The producers made a pigs ear of the character. Michelle Collins may have been good in EE but she was not the correct person to take over the Rovers. The sooner they get shot of her and Karl along with Eva Emptyhead the better. It was an experiment which backfired on everyone concerned.
But if Karl goes they'll be no-one to touch Sunita's bum....

Michelle Collins has said that she almost quit Coronation Street after being widely criticised for her Northern accent in the soap.
Collins, who joined the Weatherfield serial as feisty Rovers landlady Stella Price in June 2011, drew negative comments from viewers after her debut for not apparently sounding Mancunian enough in her role.
It was reported at the time that Coronation Street cast and crew were angry over Collins's appointment as a result, suggesting that the soap's credibility would be damaged, although Antony Cotton (Sean Tully) later took to Twitter to deny the rumours.
Talking to The Sun, Collins has now revealed that she considered resigning from Corrie after the backlash from press and the public, saying: "Having been a jobbing actor for so long, I'd forgotten the attention you get when you're in a soap. It was a real shock when the press criticised my accent, because I'd 'done Northern' before and never been criticised for it.
"I did get to the point where I said to people high up, 'Should I just resign? I've had enough. I can't do this'. But they said no, absolutely not. They told me to fight it and get through it. So I did."
However, the 50-year-old said that she still cannot bear to see herself in Coronation Street, adding: "The enormity of the criticism made me too scared to watch Corrie on the telly. I still can't."
Collins had said earlier this year that she wants to stay on the soap "for a long time", and that Corrie fans now like her accent.
