Sick of Stella being everyone's agony aunt
Deirdre was very angry at Lewis I bet she is jealous he still wants Audrey and not her miserable sore puss dreary
What is the backstory on Katy's mother, Owen's wife did she die?
Who would let Brian bring chips into the medical centre when Julie was going to see the doctor and yet this fella lBrian ectures Kylie on what she has to feed Max total hypocrite
Why? It's just a plot device for us to find out what is worrying certain characters.Quote:

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).
Couldn't believe it when Katy had a go at Chesney for going out to work all the time, what did she expect to happen?! Don't really have much sympathy for her in this storyline, she wanted to have a baby and considering she had Ches, Fiz, Izzy, Anna and Owen she's in a much better position than some.
I was sympathetic - she's so young, and didn't have a clue what she was letting herself in for. I just hope this storyline is a lesson for the young people watching.
I had no sympathy with either....Quote:

Well, put it this way: Jessie Wallace as Pat Phoenix didn't grate on me and sound false, whereas Michelle Collins as Stella sounds completely false to me, even after all these months. I used Jessie Wallace as an example to show that it isn't just an actor speaking differently than normal which grates on me.Quote:

I didnt mind Stella at first but she is in every scene now and it is way too much
Perhaps it's just me but I have never noticed a problem with her accent. I am more interested in what she has to say rather than the way she says it.Quote:

Then she suddenly appears on the street, gets involved in every storyline and becomes everyones bessy mate and he font of all knowledge. I finde her and her family totally out of place on Corrie and wish that she was not so ''friendly'' with Phil CollinsonQuote:

I think Les was right looker in his hay days :p I bet all the ladies for throwing their knickers at him more so that Tom Jones
So is Owen's wife dead or did she do a runner?
So why does Brian go to the Rovers for a drink? Does he live near it or is it on his way home?
Anyways I find him annoying and not funny or very uninteresting unlike Roy
he is annoying, and i couldnt stand him at first, but i am warming to him now, my problem was he reminded me of reg holdsworth. i think julia and brian are what i would call typical corrie characters, they do work well in this type of continuing drama.
He would be like ChesneyQuote:
