Stella Jones

Stella Jones made a mysterious arrival in the village of Emmerdale. She purchased Home Farm and residents believed she was a wealthy widow. However, Bernice Blackstock realised Stella reminded her of her old hairdresser from Leeds and after "one glass of champagne too many", Stella revealed that she was a hairdresser who had won the National Lottery.

Stella soon became sick of the residents of Emmerdale only being interested in her money. Guilt-ridden after an affair with Bernice's fiance Gavin Ferris, Stella flees the village leaving a video message attacking those who tried to benefit from her wealth, also giving Bernice - the only person who refused to ask her for money - the deposit she needs to buy The Woolpack.
