Yahoo News How I Met Your Mother star says fans get angry at her over her character's behaviour
How I Met Your Mother's Ted had a long journey before he found The One, and for a while it looked like Stella Zinman could be that person.
Obviously it wasn't to be, as she went back to her ex – dumping Ted at the altar, no less – and fans still aren't over it.
"I still get people get so mad at me for leaving Ted at the altar on social media," Stella actress Sarah Chalke told Metro, adding "and sometimes in the street!"
The star said that she was initially contracted for one appearance, before being given a bigger role and even being considered as the fabled Mother in that event that the show didn't get renewed.

"I was doing Scrubs at the time. We were supposed to be starting our next season of Scrubs the following week," she explained.
"So I had this one week off before we started, so I went and did Stella and then they said, 'Can we actually extend this and do more?' Luckily, my boss at Scrubs was very generous to say, 'Yes, we can make it work. We’ll just have to kind of schedule it creatively'.
"I would go to How I Met Your Mother at about 5am for hair and make-up, and then shoot there for about five hours and then I would drive to Scrubs and shoot there till about midnight.
"It was a busy time and did not involve a lot of sleep! But it was so worth it and I had the best time."
Recently, actress Cobie Smulders reprised her alter ego Robin Scherbatsky's alter ego Robin Sparkles for a lockdown-themed version of 'Let's Go to the Mall'.
She also defended the show's controversial ending, telling fans that they should binge watch the series and then they'll see how it makes sense.
We might take her up on that, it's not like we've got anywhere to go at the moment.
