Coronation Street: Alina is taken away in an ambulance after a fire Coronation Street fans were left in shock as Alina Pop's baby was unveiled on the show. Alina, played by Ruxandra Porojnicu, made a surprising return to the soap this week. She first graced the cobbles in 2019 and has had two stints on the popular programme.
Alina was last seen in September 2021 when she decided to return to Romania while pregnant. At that time, she informed her then-boyfriend Tyrone Dobbs, portrayed by Alan Halsall, that she wasn't actually expecting. However, just before her flight, viewers saw her at the airport departure lounge, cradling her growing baby bump.
This week, Alina returned to Weatherfield and was spotted by Fiz. A shocked Fiz confronted Alina, who revealed she now had a son, reports the Liverpool Echo .
