Coronation Street fans are already predicting a bombshell comeback after Alina Pop left in an emotional final twist.
Viewers of the ITV soap thought Alina had headed off in the back of a taxi after dropping the news that she was pregnant to Tyrone Dobbs.
The couple have had a very rocky, short-lived romance but the mechanic delivered the final nail in the coffin when he told Alina he had kissed his ex Fiz Stape.
A distraught Alina then confined in best friend Emma Brooker that she was pregnant again, weeks after suffering a heartbreaking miscarriage.

But the beautician stood her ground and told Tyrone he would have nothing to do with their baby as she planned to return to Romania.
Tyrone, however, wasn't letting to go and ended up tracking Alina down at her hotel and begged for her to let him be a part of their child's life.
But in a surprise twist, Alina revealed that she was not pregnant at all.
Tyrone then returned back to the street and was going to attempt to make amends with Fiz - but she was already on a date with new man Phil.
The biggest twist though came right at the end of the rare Thursday episode when Alina turned down the wine list at the airport and ordered a soft drink - before softly placing her hand on her stomach, indicating she is pregnant after all.
And fans already think they know how it will play out.
"So in a few years Tyrone's long lost child will be back," one posted on Facebook.
Another said: "He'll end up bk with Fizz all bk happy families then she'll rock back up with baby ty and shake things up again."
"Alina will return in a few month with baby Tyrone and Fizz will get pregnant with her new fell... more confused Tyrone faces at the end of each episode," a third predicted.
A fourth commented: "Hmm me thinks a storyline in the future with alina returning with her baby..."
Ruxandra Porojnicu, who plays Alina, confirmed she has left the soap after two years on Wednesday night.
Taking to Instagram on Wednesday night, Ruxandra showed that she and Alan Halsall, who plays Tyrone, are friends really as they cuddled for a final snap on the street.
