Fans of Coronation Street have come up with a new theory over the identity of the father of Alina Pop’s young son.
Dorin debuted on the soap with his mother Alina last week, as Alina returned after three years away. Tyrone Dobbs was stunned to find out his ex had been pregnant when she left and welcomed his son in secret.
Alina headed back to Weatherfield as she was called to be a witness in a trial, and she hoped to get away before her secret son was spotted. But the truth came out and Alina was tricked into returning to the street, where she confirmed Tyrone was the father of her child.
But a number of fans are convinced there’s a DNA twist brewing and that someone else will be revealed as the father. Amid fans wondering if tragic character Seb Franklin could be Dorin’s real dad, others have now predicted a former flame could the the father.
Viewers are speculating that Adam Barlow, who very nearly had a romance with Alina years ago, could be the biological father. Predicting a secret romance that happened offscreen, one fan theorised: “It’s definitely Adam’s son,” as others agreed.

Meanwhile speaking exclusively to The Mirror, Alina actress Ruxandra Porojnicu teased whether she was back permanently or if it was likely she would soon leave again. She told us: “I think it would be nice, I would love for her to stick around. I don’t think she’d have chosen to come back this early because her child is so young.
“She didn’t want to take him back and bring new people into his life like his father, it’s complicated. He’s got sisters too. Being back is too much, she needed time away to heal. She did some healing for sure in those years away but she needs more time to be away from the street.”
On Alina’s relationship with her child, the star went on: “She finally has someone because she was kind of alone and back home, she has a family but having her child, a little family, makes things different. She’s definitely grown up now she has a child.
“I hope she seems more like a mama bear with her cub.” But Alina will fear for her son after her past with Hope. She told us: “I think it will be difficult to see Hope. There is a big wound related to Hope, she caused the wound.
“It’s hard for Alina to be around Hope. She’s trying her best. She’s worried about anyone being around her child from the street, she doesn’t wanna see anyone. She doesn’t want to bring him harm, but she has to make a few sacrifices.”
