Is Stella Price the mum from hell?

(This post was originally posted by Seapenguin on the Coronation Street Blog in September 2011.)

As we all know, Stella Price now lies in critical condition in hospital after being mown down in Coronation Street by drunk driver Carla while standing outside the bookies screaming "Leanne!" up at the window in a scene reminiscent of Stanley Kowalski in A Streetcar Named Desire.

If she recovers (and odds are she will) I wonder what the future holds for her relationship with Leanne.

My own view? Leanne is presently wracked with guilt about how she treated Stella and that's not fair. Stella didn't deserve to get run over but she certainly deserved a tongue lashing. If I were Leanne I'd have told her to "butt out and stay out" long ago. Stella turned up on Coronation Street in order to "get her daughter back" whether Leanne liked it or not. Totally unreasonable.

You can't foist relationships on people like that. If she wanted to re-establish a proper relationship with her daughter she should have at least phoned first, or sent a tentative letter.

And I can't blame Eva for getting upset about it all, either.

Anyone else have any thoughts?
