Michelle Collins has disclosed information about her Coronation Street character Stella Price's relationship with Karl Munro.

The actress revealed that Stella has forgiven wayward Karl for flings he had with other women before they moved to Weatherfield.

Next week, Stella and her daughters Leanne and Eva find out about Karl's affair with Sunita in an explosive scene in the Rovers Return.



Collins told ITV.com: "She feels betrayed by both of them, but I think she expected more from Sunita.

"It has happened before with a few other barmaids.

"Stella has forgiven him in the past and learnt to trust him again, but this time it's different. She hates him for what he has done to her."

The 52-year-old further divulged that fans of the ITV soap have been urging her alter ego to leave the gambling taxi driver.



She explained: "They hate it! They keep telling me to 'Get rid of him!' I think she is making the right decision, Karl is a loser who is only going to hurt her again if she gives him the chance to. A leopard never changes his spots!"

Collins also seemed to rule out a reunion for the pair, despite having previously proclaimed that Stella is in love with Karl.

"I think she should concentrate on having some fun," she added. "Stella isn't the type to have an affair, so he would have to be single. But after Karl, I think she will focus more on looking after herself and trying to get over the affair."
