Sick of Stella being everyone's agony aunt

Why? It's just a plot device for us to find out what is worrying certain characters.

They don't have to use St. Ella. There are much better characters than her, ones that can actually act and the viewers care about. She has only arrived on the street and now the blessed St. Ella is everyones's pal.

The only plot device in her being everyones agony Aunt is to promote her character into every storyline in a futile attempt to make her popular. FAIL!!!!!!!

Well I like her.

Good for you. I do think you are in the minority though not just on here but on other forums. Of course if we all liked the same this would be a boring place

I loke Michelle Collins as an actress, and I think the Stella character could've become a street icon, but it has been spoilt by force feeding us Stella over drive, too much too soon. She is everyone's best friend within minutes of arriving on the street withour allowing her to 'bed in' first

thats the writers at fault

and Phil Collinson. They had a chance to get rid of her when Carla run her down.. The y should have. Instead she ends up buying the pub

absolutely!! she is obviously flavour of the month (year) and we are going to be stuck with her, so its a shame they didnt do it gently and make us like the character first!! 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 overnight

I think she will bed in Tommy soon

I think she will bed in Tommy soon

If St. Ella gets him into her back room he's doomed


"Oh Dear, What can the matter be,

Stella slept with Les flamin' Battersby,

Giving advice from Monday to Saturday

It really gets on me wick!"

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).
