    Any suggestions on how to make good this wall. The wall was plastered about 6 years ago but as you can see from the photo, the wall is now flush with the base board because we had to put up plasterboard before plastering.

    Also, is the corner bead needed here or can I pull this off?

    Yea the stairs can move over time and it looks like your plaster stop bead stayed with the stairs rather than the wall.

    I would get rid of the stop bead and just fill the bottom of the wall, then you have 2 options. Put a bead of flexible calk between the two, which will allow some movement or attach some 1/4 timber beading to the stairs to cover the gap. The last time I had this problem I used 1/4 round beading and glued/nailed it to the side of the stairs. Its painted white and looks great.

    Thanks for the feedback. Would there be any consequence if I got rid of the stop bead and just filled the bottom of the wall, what purpose does the stop bead serve in this instance?

    No consequence. Get rid. Filler for the gap, sand once dry and then a line of caulk to conceal future movement.
