Michelle Collins: Stella loves pub more than Karl

Coronation Street star Michelle Collins has admitted that she thinks Stella Price is more enamoured with her pub than she is with her other half Karl Munro (John Michie). The pair's relationship is about to be put to the test further when gambling addict Karl has an affair with Sunita. And Michelle told Inside Soap magazine, "I'm not sure how Stella will react if she finds out just what Karl has been up to with Sunita lately. "But after all his recent antics, I reckon that if Stella had to choose between keeping Karl and the Rovers, the pub would win hands down!" However the former EastEnders star added that she thinks the pair will work out their differences as Stella needs Karl. "I think Stella loves Karl more than she actually knows herself," Michelle admitted. "She's like a lot of strong women who have a weaker person who's almost in their shadow. "You don't often get very feisty people together in a relationship, because that doesn't work. "Karl and Stella compliment each other - they're such different people and personalities."
