Corrie's Tyrone Dobbs actor teases possibility of Alina Pop's return to ITV soap

Coronation Street's Alan Halsall has teased Alina Pop could make a spectacular return to the cobbles - but not just yet.

Tyrone Dobbs has been struggling with ex Fiz Stape's new relationship with Phill, after he initially split from Fiz when he fell for Alina Pop (Ruxandra Porojnicu) and the pair decided to give it a go.

After a while, Alina decided to leave the Cobbles for good - but there has been hints dropped that she could have been pregnant with Tyrone's baby when she decided to head back to her native Romania.

Now Alan - who plays Tyrone - hasn't ruled out his co-star returning one day.

Speaking about the possibility, he said: "Well, that's obviously a very clever thing that the writers did there, sending Alina off in that way, and of course it leads into a future storyline. Right now, I think Tyrone's thoughts are just all about Fiz.

"Regardless of what comes knocking on his doorstep, it's all about Fiz."

Whilst he said there were no immediate plans for Alina to return to Weatherfield, he thinks it would make a "great storyline" if she did.

"For me as an actor, it would be a great storyline. Would it be too soon? Probably," he explained.

"Maybe that could be something a bit further on down the line, but even though it's been quite a lot of years and it's showing now under my eyes and on my head, I'm thrilled every day to go to work and just be part of these stories with these brilliant people. So yeah, if that is a story in the future, I'll try and tackle it as best I can."

For now, Tyrone is still obviously sweet on his ex Fiz, and has been trying to support her amid a hiccup with her current man Phill.

And his co-star Jennie McAlpine hasn't ruled out the possibility of Tyrone and Fiz eventually finding each other again one day.

"It would be nice for her to have a white wedding. Fiz would go back in a heartbeat to Ty if she can forgive his affair with Alina," she said, as her co-star Alan added: "I think the one thing that Coronation Street has – above all other shows as far as I’m concerned – is history. Tyrone and Fiz have an unbelievable history, they’ve got years together, they’ve been through so many things together."
