Ruth Jones is in talks for series five of 'Stella'.
Contrary to reports claiming the hit Sky sitcom will come to end after series four, the show's co-creator insists she has no plans to pull the plug on her colourful characters from the fictional Welsh village Pontyberry any time soon.
She said: "Far from it being the end of 'Stella', we are talking to Sky about doing a fifth series."
Ruth, who writes and stars in the comedy drama, admits her company Tidy Productions, which she founded with David Peet, is also teaming up with the BBC for other projects but they will also continue to work with Sky.
She explained: "It's true that Tidy Productions is developing other projects, including a comedy and a comedy drama for the BBC written by myself and David Peet, which we're really excited about.
"But we love working with Sky and we love 'Stella'. You certainly haven't seen the last of her. She's from Pontyberry after all -and made of stronger stuff!"
Meanwhile, Sky admit their main focus is giving viewers a fantastic fourth series and a christmas special.
A spokesman for Sky said: "Right now we're all focussed on delivering a great Christmas special and fourth series for 2015. We're incredibly proud of the series and love working with Ruth Jones. We're in talks regarding a fifth series of 'Stella' and when we have further news we will let you know."

Joe Manganiello claims 'Magic Mike 2' will begin shooting this autumn.
The actor let slip that he would soon be reprising his role as a male stripper alongside Channing Tatum, Matthew McConaughey and Matt Bomer in the upcoming comedy during an interview with Collider.com.
He told the website: "Yeah, it's gonna happen this fall. I think they're going to announce it soon. It's crazy. I didn't think that would be my first franchise. I never thought that would ever be the direction of my career.
"But that said, it's just proof that I don't know best, all the time. It was the most fun I've ever had, and I can't wait to get back in and mix it up with those guys."
The first film was a worldwide hit, grossing $167 million globally against a budget of just $7 million.
With director Steven Soderbergh dropping out of shooting the sequel and Tatum busy with other projects, production was thought to be a long way off.
Rumours have been rife that Hollywood hunk Tatum is now planning to co-direct with his producing and writing partner Reid Carolin.
The actor also recently shared a picture of himself gearing up to work on the sequel's screenplay.

Darren Aronofsky says 'Noah' was influenced by 'Lord of the Rings'.
The 'Black Swan' director will see his biblical epic take to the big-screen next month and he's admitted that as he wanted the film to avoid the clichés of traditional takes on the story of Noah's Ark, he looked to other books and films which were set in the same period.
He told Empire magazine: "What would animals have looked like back then? Was it a world that looked like the modern Holy Land? The aim was for it to be as self-contained as Middle-earth; we definitely looked at Lord of the Rings.
"I wanted to create a fantasy world that was based on the Bible as well as on other books written around the same time that didn't make it into the cannon."
The 45-year-old film-maker also revealed that as well as gaining ideas for what the animals and set should look like from other stories, they also found inspiration for new characters which they incorporated into the story.
He explained: "We read The Book of Enoch and other texts that expanded on that world and we created our own world out of the clues we picked up from them.
"There're things like Nephilim; six armed angels who walked the Earth; we turned them into characters in the film."

Shia LaBeouf's uncle has filed an appeal against an order to repay the actor for an $800,000 loan.
Barry Saide was ordered to give back the full amount, plus nine percent interest, in a court case last month after the judge heard he and his famous nephew initially agreed the money, which was handed over in 2009, would be returned in 15 installments of $53,333.
Barry - who never paid any installments - is now asking the judge to reconsider the ruling and wants to pay back in an alternative to money.
Documents filed on Wednesday (26.03.14) and obtained by RadarOnline.com state: "The alleged Promissory Installment Note is not an unconditional promise to pay which may form the basis for a motion for summary judgement in lieu of complaint... By its terms, the alleged Promissory Installment Note provides specifically that there I an alternative to the payment of money only."
Barry claims the judge made an incorrect ruling because he didn't pay attention to a part of his original agreement with the 'Nymphomaniac' star which stated he could repay the loan with personal property, and pointed to his original argument in which he stated he transferred interest in four companies in lieu of cash.
No ruling has been made yet on the appeal.
When the lawsuit was filed last August, Barry expressed surprise about the 27-year-old actor's actions insisting he wouldn't have borrowed anything if he thought this would happen.
In an affidavit, he reportedly said: "Had I thought that Shayne and Shia would take this extraordinary step and seek to impoverish me, I never would have borrowed a dollar from Shia."
Barry also insisted he spent money looking after the Hollywood hunk and his mother Shayne before his rise to stardom.

L'Wren Scott's ashes have been divided between Sir Mick Jagger and her family.
The late fashion designer - who was found dead in an apparent suicide in her New York apartment earlier this month - was cremated after a funeral service in Los Angeles on Tuesday (25.03.14) and part of her remains will now be taken to Utah and laid to rest close to her parents.
Her brother Randall Bambrough said: "She was cremated and I have some of her ashe.
"Some of those ashes, they will be buried near our parents here in Utah. And there will be a ceremony, date to be determined, in Utah for all family members who will have an opportunity to see their friends and others."
Randall is unsure what the Rolling Stones frontman - who was in a relationship with L'Wren for 13 years until her death - plans to do with the rest of his sister's ashes.
He told the New York Daily News newspaper: "They're with the Jagger family. That's all I can say."
Though L'Wren's estranged sister Jan Shane slammed her funeral, insisting it should have taken place in Utah, and criticised Mick, 70, for taking over the plans, her brother insisted the memorial was in keeping with the designer's wishes as she wanted the 'Brown Sugar' star to take charge.

Beyoncé broke down in tears during her final 'Mrs. Carter Show World Tour' performance.
The 32-year-old superstar - who has two-year-old daughter Blue Ivy with husband Jay Z - bid farewell to her fans during her last show in Portuguese capital Lisbon on Thursday night (27.03.14), and was overcome with emotion as she thanked them for supporting her during her gruelling 132-date tour.
She told the cheering crowd: "This has been an incredible tour ... If you all don't know, tonight makes 132 shows. Tonight is the last show of the 'Mrs. Carter Show'.
"We started a year ago. And I want to say, this has been such a journey. In the past year, we've been so much together - the Super Bowl, shooting the videos, all of these shows. When I first started the tour, my baby [Blue Ivy] was not even walking yet."
The 'Drunk In Love' singer then began welling up, choking back sobs as she bade her final goodbyes to the crowd.
She stammered: "I just want you to know that I am so lucky. I'm giving y'all an ugly cry! Thank y'all again. Thank you for allowing me to have a career. When I fall, you lift me up. When I'm hungry, you feed me. And I just want to give you my light. I dedicate this song to you guys."
Beyoncé kicked off her tour in April 2013 and has performed across North America, South America, Australia, Asia and Europe, raking in an estimated $53 million.

Gwyneth Paltrow has thanked fans for their support following her marriage split.
The 'Iron Man 3' actress and husband Chris Martin used her Goop website this week to announce they were separating after 10 years of marriage and now the blonde beauty - who has children Apple, nine, and Moses, seven, with the Coldplay singer - has used the online newsletter to express "deep gratitude" for the well-wishes they have received.
She wrote: "CM and I in deep gratitude for the support of so many."
The message also included a small love heart symbol.
Announcing their separation this week, the couple revealed they had worked on their marriage for "over a year" before deciding to part.
In a post titled "Conscious Uncoupling," the former couple wrote: "It is with hearts full of sadness that we have decided to separate.
"We have been working hard for well over a year, some of it together, some of it separated, to see what might have been possible between us, and we have come to the conclusion that while we love each other very much we will remain separate.
"We are, however, and always will be a family, and in many ways we are closer than we have ever been."
Appealing for privacy because they are "parents first and foremost," they added: "We have always conducted our relationship privately, and we hope that as we consciously uncouple and co-parent, we will be able to continue in the same manner. Love, Gwyneth & Chris."
