Ruth Jones stars as a 40-something mum juggling the ups and downs of family life amid the chaos of her eccentric friends, relatives and children's fathers. Stella's world is populated by a wealth of characters including her best friend Paula (Elizabeth Berrington), who is a functioning alcoholic and funeral director. Then there’s lollipop man and youth rugby coach Alan (Steve Spiers), who has been in love with Stella since 1984 but who finds stiff competition in the form of dishy Sean (Kenny Doughty)... The brainchild of Ruth Jones, co-writer and co-star of the multi-award-winning Gavin and Stacey, Stella is a ten-episode family saga set against the backdrop of the Welsh valleys.

Fight night arrives in Pontyberry and, while Lenny is prepared to play dirty, Luke is indifferent about the impending clash and more concerned about inning over Zoe.

Alan remortgages his house in an effort to raise funds for the rugby club, although the valiant gesture could work against him if Melissa follows through on her threat to apply for sole custody of Little Alan. Paula also resorts to desperate measures to get Dai back, while Leah cries wolf to Jagadeesh about an 'affair' with Sunil. Amid the chaos, Ben bravely asks his beloved Bethan out on a date, however her answer leaves him flummoxed.

There's a rumble elsewhere in the valleys as Luke butts heads - and fists - with Lenny in the amateur boxing championship. Meanwhile, Big Alan's 'Save Our Pitch' campaign scores a vital try towards victory as Rob quibbles the morals of his property development project. Melissa, though, is willing to use any means necessary to ensure her silent partner stays schtum about his doubts.
