Sharon Small plays the role of Stella who is a partner in a local law firm. She also has a small side-line in property rentals. She’s been taking fitness classes with Jake, the only son of Vivien. Stella is a rather wealthy and vivacious character. In the story, her personal fitness lessons from Jake have also seen him performing other services for her, something that his wife would certainly not approve of.

Sharon Small started her career in theatre and then made her television debut with Taggart in 1994.
