Coronation Street to update fans on Alina Pop ahead of her return
Coronation Street spoilers follow for episodes airing next week (beginning July 29).
Coronation Street will give fans an update on Alina Pop next week ahead of actor Ruxandra Porojnicu's return to the ITV soap.
Alina first appeared on the Cobbles in 2019 as part of a hard-hitting human trafficking storyline. She left following a short-lived relationship with Tyrone Dobbs and a tragic fire caused by Tyrone's daughter Hope.
In scenes set to air next week, Rita Tanner and Debbie Webster will tell Fiz that the leader of a Romanian human trafficking group is going on trial and Alina might be called up as a witness to talk about her own experiences.

A few days later, Fiz tells Tyrone she's found a really good deal on a holiday — but his response is frosty at best. Why is Tyrone less than enthusiastic, and will Fiz start to worry about the state of their relationship again?
Whatever's going on, Alina's return is likely to cause a whole lot of drama... especially if she arrives with a baby in tow (the last time we saw her, it was implied she was pregnant after telling Tyrone she wasn't).

The Sun reported that Porojnicu has already returned to the set and started filming scenes, so it looks like it won't be long before we see Alina on our screens again.
Meanwhile, this Friday (July 26) will feature a special episode for Billy and Paul. Actors Daniel Brocklebank and Peter Ash recently spoke about the "pressure" of the episode and the heart-wrenching storyline.
Coronation Street airs on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 8pm on ITV1 and streams on ITVX.
