Stella Randell

Stella Randell was the manager of the Carousel club when it opened its doors in May 1971. Elsie Howard went for a job there but she was too much like Stella. A few weeks later, Ray Langton had a business meeting with Mel Ryan at the Carousel and tried to impress him to bringing along Irma Barlow as his date and having Irma pretend to be French. Ray introduced Irma to Stella as "Irma Barlot" from Paris, which interested Stella as she'd done a club tour there. Disaster ensued when Mel arrived and with his date - Francoise Dubois, a real French woman. Irma had a torturous evening with Francoise asking her questions (in French!) and had to try not to spoil Ray's deal with Mel, however when Ray realised he was being used he went for Mel and Irma ended up fighting with Francoise. Stella saw this happening but couldn't do anything. She billed Ray £50 for damages.
