As fans of the ITV soap know, Ruxandra Porojnicu came back to the show as Alina returned to Weatherfield earlier this month
Coronation Street fans are still fearing a death twist for Alina Pop as the actress who plays her was seen wrapping up on another project away from the cobbles.
As fans of the ITV soap know, Ruxandra Porojnicu returned to the show as Alina came back to Weatherfield earlier this month. The character was called as a witness as the leader of a human trafficking group in Romania was going on trial.
After randomly bumping into her former love rival in a car park, it quickly dawned on Fiz Dobbs that her that her husband Tyrone could be the father of Alina’s child.
Fans will remember that Tyrone and Alina were in a relationship a few years ago – before Alina left insisting she wasn’t pregnant. In her final scene, viewers saw her at the airport departures lounge, cradling her stomach, hinting that she was expecting her first child.
Three years on and Tyrone made it clear he wanted to be a dedicated dad to their young boy, Dorin, but Alina has had other plans to move back to Romania.
During Monday night’s (September 16) Corrie, viewers saw Alina return to collect her son after being forced into hiding when she was attacked by one of the leaders of the human trafficking ring’s heavies. As she prepared to head to the airport, in a last-ditch attempt to keep them in the UK, Tyrone secretly stole Alina’s passport.
Alina later returned to No. 9 in search of her passport, with Fiz becoming suspicious that her husband might have something to do with its disappearance. She confronted him and he confessed to taking the passport, saying that if Alina left, his custody case could fall apart.
But betraying her husband, Fiz later met with Alina to return the passport, making out she’d found it while tidying up and she wasn’t shy in encouraging her to book a flight and not say goodbye to Tyrone, later leaving him devastated at his wife’s actions.
Corrie fans, however, don’t think it’s the last they’ll have seen of Dorin in Weatherfield as they predict a tragic twist for Alina. @StVitusDance said: “Don’t tell us Alina dies and they end up with Dorin anyway #Corrie.” @StuartBeckMP predicted: “That’s the last we see of Alina before she ends up in a fatal car crash in a few weeks’ time.”
Others, however, have begged for that not to be the case. @SJCARTER1968 posted: “#corrie #alina You better not kill off Alina. I want @RuxPorojnicu to be around for along time. She’s lovely.” @THEJohnMcNee added: “If the ethereally beautiful Alina dies, I will not be held responsible for my actions. #Corrie producers, you have been warned!”
Meanwhile, Ruxandra has been seen celebrating the end of filming on another show. The soap star took to social media with a string of behind-the-scenes snaps from the recording of BBC Three’s Boarders, the teen comedy-drama series that talented black scholarship students attending an elite private school with a reputation problem.
Alongside the post, which included snaps of the actress in her dressing room as well as filming around Bristol, Ruxandra wrote: “BTS Boarders S2 – it’s a Wrap!! @boarderstv @bbcthree @bbciplayer @tubi.”
