Corrie producer Stuart Blackburn has confirmed that Stella won't be killed off, leaving the door open for the character to return to Corrie one day.
Stuart said this about Stella's leaving storyline: “It’s all tied up in a big story involving Leanne. But it’s a quiet exit for Stella because we’ve got so many massive ones coming up. She’s trying to do the right thing by her daughter and she realises that perhaps her absence might help Leanne.
“Stella is also looking at her mum Gloria’s lust for life and thinking to herself, ‘I’m not dead yet. I’m only 50. There’s a whole world out there'. Hopefully, her departure will be gentle, moving, truthful and one which leaves the door open.”
