Coronation Street fans ‘uncover’ Alina Pop’s child’s mystery father in chilling death twist – and it’s not Tyrone Dobbs
CORONATION Street fans think they’ve deduced the ‘real father’ of Alina Pop’s baby.
The character – played by Ruxandra Porojnicu – made her shock return to the cobbles this week, having last appeared in 2021.
Viewers will remember how Tyrone (Alan Halsall) momentarily left Fiz (Jennie McAlpine) for Alina a few years back.
During Wednesday’s (August 7) episode, Fiz encountered her former love rival at the supermarket and spotted a photo of a little boy on her phone.
Although Fiz believed Tyrone is the boy’s father, fans had their own theories.
Taking to Reddit, one wrote: “He looks way too old to be Tyrone’s kid??? Imagine if Seb was the dad and she’d been keeping the baby hidden…”
Meanwhile, over on a Corrie-focused Facebook page, another viewer pondered: “Do you think Alina’s baby is Tyrone’s?”
A third replied: “Didn’t she go with Seb tho?”
While someone else wrote: “That’s true, that would be a good twist!”
When first introduced in 2019, Alina was part of a storyline involving a human trafficking ring.
After being saved by Seb Franklin (Harry Visnoni), she fled the country to reunite with her family in Romania but returned to Coronation Street a short time later.
After she became romantically involved with much-older Tyrone and fell pregnant, his daughter Hope (Isabelle Flanagan) wasn’t impressed.
Determined to split them up, the youngster lit a fire in the salon flat which caused Alina to tragically miscarry the unborn baby.
But when the young woman fell pregnant with Tyrone’s baby again, he admitted that he wanted to get back together with Fiz, leaving her heartbroken.
Alina then left the cobbles in September 2021 and told Tyrone that she was returning to Romania to raise their child alone.
Tyrone managed to stop her and said he was determined to be a part of his child’s life.
The soon-to-be mother insisted that she wasn’t pregnant after all and departed the ITV soap.
Shortly before boarding her flight, viewers saw her cradling a blossoming baby bump.
What does Alina’s reappearance mean for Tyrone and Fiz moving forward?
