Weatherfield bosses have now officially confirmed that Stella is Leanne's biological mother following weeks of rumours.
Stella was in a relationship with Les Battersby many years ago but left him to bring up Leanne (Jane Danson) when she was only a baby.
Speaking to Soaplife about her character's history, Collins commented: "Stella was only 17 when she had Leanne and at first everything with Les was great. But then he started drinking and leaving her alone with the baby and she struggled to cope.
"She left with every intention of coming back for her baby once she was settled, but when that time came, Les and his family wouldn't let her anywhere near and she didn't stand a chance."
Leanne discovers the truth about Stella at the end of next week when the Rovers Return's new bar manager is forced to come clean.
Collins added: "Stella regrets what she did every day of her life. For the past 29 years, all she's wanted is to be a mum to Leanne."
Leanne hears Stella's confession as she celebrates her 30th birthday at The Rovers next Friday.
