Alina Pop has fled Weatherfield without her son in Coronation Street.
Friday’s (August 23) episode saw Alina facing more threats to both her life and the life of her son Dorin
because of her upcoming tesimtony in a gangland trial.
She recently returned to the cobbles to help put some local crooks behind bars, with Tyrone then

Tyrone assured Fiz that his priority was towards their family, even though he’s enjoyed getting to know his young son.
