I remember her from 'Emma' as Miss Bates with Gwyneth Paltrow and Ewan McGregor, she was brilliant. There's a touch of the Miss Bates in Stella or pehaps that's Sophie Thompson. I like her all the same, Phil does'nt deserve her anyway and that boy however traumatised he is needs taking in hand!
sorry.............just a thought - would the person who is going round pushing people out of windows in walford, kindly push that Ben out too?? if only for being a cr@p actor if nothing else : )
Emma Thompson's sister. She was in the movie version of Dancing At Lughnasa too - plus I've seen her on stage loads of times, including the Sondheim shows (yes, she sings too!) Into The Woods and Company at the Donmar.
She was in a film at the weekend with Julie Andrews in it. Dunno what it was called. To be honest, I thought that as Stella, she must have just got her first acting job. Not sorry to see her leave. Though I would rather it had been Ben. He is just plain EVIL!
