Corrie character's return 'sealed' after clue amid explosive 'baby bombshell'
Coronation Street fans are convinced a character could be returning after Evelyn Plummer mentioned them on Friday's episode.
During the latest episode, Evelyn asked grandson Tyrone Dobbs how his wife Fiz is doing after he picked up daughters, Hope and Ruby, after they stayed with her in Norfolk. Tyrone said: "She was fine, it was a bit grim though... handing them over in Kettering, it was like we were divorced or something!" to which Evelyn replied: "That's how your life would have been with Alina and Phill."
Viewers will recall that Fiz was previously left devastated when Tyrone decided to pursue a relationship with Alina Pop to which she then found love with now-ex Phill Whittaker. However, the couples weren't meant to be as Alina left Weatherfield in 2021 after discovering that Tyrone had lied to her and kissed then ex Fiz.
During the dramatic scenes, Tyrone discovered that Alina was pregnant and quickly rushed after her as she attempted to leave the cobbles in a taxi. However, after chasing after Alina, she told a crushed Tyrone that she wasn't actually pregnant as she left to go home to Romania.
The character said: "It can't happen because there is no baby. There never was. I've got my dates wrong, I thought I was pregnant but I wasn't. So there's no reason for you to be here, no reason at all..." However, at the end of the episode, it appeared that Alina had been lying as she tenderly cradled her stomach and refused an alcoholic beverage.

When is she coming back with Tyrone’s baby? #Corrie", another follower wrote: "Bring back Alina #corrie" while another soap watcher added: "Are we meant to just forget Tyrone’s got another kid with Alina #corrie."
