Coronation Street actor Alan Halsall admits Tyrone and Fiz’s marriage is on the rocks as mechanic’s ex Alina Pop arrives with baby bombshell

Tyrone and Fiz Dobbs could face their toughest challenge in marriage yet as his ex arrives on the scene with some bombshell news. 

Alina Pop has made her first appearance on the the cobbles since 2021 and reveals the mechanic is the father to her son Dobin. 

Tyrone’s cheating ex (played by Ruxandra Porojnicu) bumped into Fiz (Jennie Alpine) at the supermarket Freshco’s car park. 

And now Alan Halsall said Tyrone’s discovery he has a son with Alina ‘puts a spanner in the works’ with his relationship with Fiz. 

‘With Jennie being off on maternity leave, we haven’t really seen the domestic bliss of Ty and Fiz’s marriage, two kids and a nana,’ Alan told The Mirror.

‘For it to be turned upside down so quickly and Alina to come back with a child on board – it’s going to divide a lot of people and that’s just within the house.

‘Pardon the pun, but it’s a spanner in the works for Tyrone. He’s living this domestic bliss so the last thing he really wants is anything interrupting that.’ 

Alan said Tyrone will want to ‘dismiss’ Alina’s arrival and threats but ultimately wants to do the right thing as he is a family man at heart.  

During her initial stint on the cobbles, Alina was at the centre of a storyline about modern slavery that had seen her move to the UK through a human trafficking ring. 

When she fell pregnant, Tyrone told her he was staying by Fiz. 

A devastated Alina then told the mechanic she was returning to Romania to raise their child alone. 

She’s now back in Weatherfield because she’s a witness in a trial against traffickers.  

Speaking about how her character feels, she said in a recent interview with the publication: ‘It’s too much. She needed time away to heal and she did some healing for sure in those two years, but she needs more time to be away from the Street.
