Why does Stella invite everyone behind the bar?

I like Stella as a character, and I think her partnership with Carl is a good one. I also like her relationship with Leanne now that the dust has settled. But one thing that I don't understand is why she invites everyone with even the slightest hint of a frown to the back room, where she dishes out advice.
It's starting to become really quite predictable and daft, as many of them have no real contact with her at any other time. It makes the character look like an interfering busybody rather than a shoulder to cry on.
I can't help but think producers don't really know what to do with Stella as a character and this is their solution.

Love her and Dreary, she gave her good advice RE TraceyLuv too.
No... The two alcos will be barred.=)
Yes; Diane in Emmerdale is just the same.
However it doesn't seem to matter the total hash they make of their own lives they just like to patronise everyone else.
Jason - I've a right stinkin day - give us a pint Stella.
Stella - Come through to the back??
Mary - My motorhome is chucking out fumes galore - I'm at my wits end
Stella - Come through to the back
Maxie - I can't find my toy cars
Stella - Come through to the back
exactly my thoughts. It's all a bit try hard. She's sudden everyone's best buddy and she's only been there two minutes. definitely a case of shoehorning her into storylines. Mind you I do like the character, she seems quite a warm person and I guess it could be explained as her trying a bit too hard to be liked.
I agree. She's invited Sunita and Deirdre and went to see Carla Lloyd off the top of my head. It just seems forced and unnatural that she's trying to be everyone's best friend.
Maybe if she had formed 'proper' friendships with fewer people maybe just Deirdre or Sunita, it might seem a little less forced. Now she justs seems like a nosey cow, but maybe that's what the producers want us to think!
The more I think about it the more I think they are trying to make her the "mother hen" of the show. She's in the ideal position of being the Rovers landlady so she gets to see everyone all the time and hear of all their problems, and it's been noted that Michelle Collins wants big storylines so that she'll stay, and as she's a chum of La Collinson he will make sure she is utilised in every possible way.
I watched Cindy's entire tenure and loved her - I see Stella as a totally different character
Stella can solve anything.
Sunita needed a new job.
Stella: Start tomorrow love!
She's everyone's best friend!
Sunita: My husband doesn't understand me.
Stella: Aww, love. Have a quick shag with my bloke Carl love.
Frank - I've been aquitted. I'm innocent
Stella - Come through to the back.
Stella: Come through the back
Sophie: No, you're thinking of gay.
LOL
Gail:I think I've married a serial killer, and have fallen out with my mum after he tried to burn down her house and I don't know what to believe any more because I love him. What am I going to do?
Stella: Come through to the back
When you are invited into the back by Stella, it means your problem is possible to sort out, and can be remedied by Saint Stella. Sunita's employment, deirdre's family woes and more are examples.
However, when you find yourself opening your front door to Stella, you know you are in serious trouble. So bad was lloyd's troubles that he left the street and Carla is currently giving evidence against her rapist. It was not possible for Stella to be the judge.
Hahaha brilliant!
Hilarious thread, never paid much attention to Stella and her public back room but now I can totally see it!
They seem to tell her everything she wants to know.
She could teach that female private detective a thing or two about getting inside information. :rolleyes:
lOL!
