When The Mirror questioned actor Alan Halsall, who plays Tyrone Dobbs on Coronation Street, about his character’s future with wife Fiz Brown after Alina’s homecoming, he responded in a telling way.
Together with a shocking return twist and a DNA bombshell, the destiny of one Coronation Street pair has been decided.
This week, Tyrone Dobbs received startling news—that he had a secret son. He learned in Wednesday’s episode thatCoronation Street, three years after she departed, his former partner Alina Pop had returned to Weatherfield.
Viewers may recall Alina sadly suffered a miscarriage in 2021 after a fire caused by Tyrone’s stepdaughter Hope. After this she learned she was pregnant again, but claimed to Tyrone she was mistaken – while viewers saw her gently holding her stomach as she left the street.
So when he found out on Wednesday that his wife Fiz Brown suspected Alina’s child was his son, Tyrone was rocked. He was unable to track her down though, only to come face-to-face with her on Friday.
Alina was horrified to be back on the street, but did give Tyrone the truth – he was the father of her young son. Tyrone spent time with both of them with it even teased they could be sticking around, while Fiz felt a little bit pushed out.
Speaking exclusively the actor Alan Halsall, who plays Tyrone, let slip the likely future of the pair after past struggles. While he said there would be drama ahead after Alina’s return and the child twist, he dropped a major hint over the state of Fiz and Tyrone’s marriage and if they will last.
He told us: “Tyrone is clearly worried about his wife… even though he might not do the right thing sometimes he wants to, and he wants to do the right thing by his family. I think initially what we will see is that strength that Tyrone and Fiz have, there’s trust there, you do see they have a strong bond in marriage.”
So it seems despite the chaos ahead with “emotions running high”, there’s no plans for Fiz and Tyrone to call it a day. On whether Alina could change that this time around, Alan said: “He’s seen the error of his ways, he always wanted to be with Fiz, be that family guy. Him and Fiz are really strong but who knows, it’s soap.”
