Fiz Dobbs was taken aback to bump into her husband’s ex outside Freshco and discovered she has a son

Coronation Street fans think they ‘know’ that Tyrone Dobbs isn’t the father of Alina Pop’s son following her return to Weatherfield. Fiz Dobbs was taken aback to bump into her husband’s ex outside Freshco.

But during Wednesday night’s (August 7) edition of the ITV soap, Fiz was left in further shock when she saw a picture of Alina with a little boy on her phone leading her to believe Tyrone may have fathered another child without knowing.

Alina, played by returning actress Ruxandra Porojnicu, claimed it was her nephew. But a shaken Fiz wasn’t convinced and headed home to tell Tyrone what she had discovered and how she thinks he has a son.

Corrie viewers will remember that Alina Pop was first introduced to the cobbles in 2019, as a survivor of human trafficking. After being saved by the late Seb Franklin, she became romantically involved with the much older Tyrone Dobbs (Alan Halsall) in 2021, prompting him to leave Fiz after nine years for her.

While Fiz was understandably horrified by Tyrone’s decision to call time on their long romance, she was blissfully unaware that Alina was pregnant, supposedly with the mechanic’s baby. Alina left Weatherfield with a hand lovingly placed on her stomach and ordering tomato juice, heavily hinting that she was keeping the unborn child.

According to the Mirror, throughout this Wednesday’s episode, fans took to X as many of them were convinced Alina had given birth to Tyrone’s baby: “Kid look like a mini Tyrone”, one of them wrote. Another added: “Alina’s son. Tyrone can’t deny being the father”, while a third agreed: “That was definitely a photo of Tyrone’s son. He’s going to get the shock of his life when he meets Alina again and she drops the bombshell.”

A viewer also chipped in: “That was Tyrone’s son in that photo, and of course Fiz just happens to pick up her phone off the floor and see it.” However, some viewers of the long-running show have grown sceptical after Alina’s brief return to the cobbles, which saw her quickly escape the Chariot Square Hotel, where she was staying, to avoid a confrontation with Tyrone.

Fans on Reddit has now suggested that Tyrone may not be the father of Alina’s baby as they, with one believing the little boy seemed too old. Instead, they believed Alina may have had a baby with her old open-hearted pal Seb, who was murdered by Corey Brent in 2021: “He looks way too old to be Tyrone’s kid??? Imagine if Seb was the dad and she’d been keeping the baby hidden…”
