Corrie: Tyrone finds out Alina is pregnant
Coronation Street enthusiasts are growing increasingly concerned for Alina Pop, who recently returned to the famous cobbles with her young son Dorin. Alina, portrayed by Ruxandra Porojnicu, made a surprise return to Weatherfield after an unexpected encounter with her former love rival Fiz (Jennie Mcalpine) in a car park.
It soon became apparent that her husband Tyrone (Alan Halsall) could potentially be the father of Alina's child.
Viewers will recall that Tyrone and Alina were romantically involved a few years ago, and before Alina departed, she insisted she wasn't pregnant.
In her final scene, audiences saw her at the airport departure lounge, tenderly holding her growing baby bump. Fast forward three years, and Tyrone is keen to play an active role in their son's life, but Alina has plans to return to Romania.
Her return was solely to provide evidence in court as a human trafficking group leader faces trial, reports the Manchester Evening News.

As the case continues, Alina is anticipated to give a statement reflecting on her experiences as a victim of modern slavery.
However, in a concerning development, she has begun receiving threatening phone calls, suggesting that the traffickers may be attempting to intimidate her ahead of the next court date. But is she in danger?
Some Corrie devotees believe that Alina may face a fatal incident, leaving Dorin in the care of Tyrone and Fiz, resulting in the tot's permanent move to Weatherfield.
Fans have taken to social media to voice their theories and concerns for the fate of Alina.
One worried fan posted: "They're 100% gonna kill off Alina and leave Dorin to be raised In that hovel aren't they #corrie." (sic)
Another pleaded: "I am BEGGING the #corrie writers to let Alina live! The last thing we need is another member of the Dead Young Mums Club."
A third viewer speculated: "I reckon this gang will frighten Alina off or she'll end up in hospital thus how Dorin will end up in Tyrone's care for the foreseeable future #Corrie #CoronationStreet @itvcorrie."
The speculations continued with one fan asking: "Is Fiz going to end up raising Alina's child somehow? #Corrie," while another concurred with a popular theory: "I agree with the theory about Tyrone getting the baby if Alina is killed off #Corrie,".
