Coronation Street’s Alina is lying about the true identity of her son’s father according to fans as they work out who it is – and it’s a soap legend. Coronation Street Alina Pop’s real baby father has been revealed – and it’s not Tyrone Dobbs or Seb Franklin. Alina (Ruxandra Porojnicu) made her return to the cobbles last week with a big baby bombshell, that she had a young son. After her former love rival Fiz (Jennie Mcalpine) bumped into Alina, she quickly realised her husband Tyrone Dobbs (Alan Halsall) could be the father of her child. As fans will recall Tyrone and Alina were in a relationship a few years ago – before Alina left Weatherfield, claiming she wasn’t pregnant. And in her final scene, viewers saw her at the airport departures lounge where she cradled her blossoming baby bump. Now, three years later Alina is back, and when Tyrone found out about her return, he was left reeling. He managed to track her down, where she confessed that he was her son’s father. However, it’s fair to say fans are convinced that Tyrone isn’t actually the real dad of her son. Fans have been quick to share their thoughts on Alina’s baby confession. Some viewers are claiming the real baby daddy could be dead Seb Franklin (Harry Visinoni) – who briefly dated Alina during her first stint on the ITV soap. However, in what would be a huge twist, other viewers are convinced the real father is actually soap legend David Platt (Jack P. Shepherd). Fans will recall the pair ended up sleeping together in a one-night-stand back in 2020. Now, viewers reckon Alina could have secretly had the child off-screen – which would explain why her son looks older than two-years-old. On a Coronation Street Facebook fan page, one person mused: “I think Alina is lying and the baby isn’t Tyrones. She’s up to something.” A second wrote: “She had a night with David Platt. Could definitely be a mini David!” A third penned: “I forgot about this!” Someone else chimed in and mused: “If the baby is older than 2 and he looks it, it could possibly be Davids.” A fifth said: “She did have one night with David and baby kind of looks like him. I think that is why she left rubbing her tummy. She knew it was Davids.”

Kit Green makes a fresh move next week, and fans of Coronation Street are certain that he is up to no good and somehow connected to Joel Deering.

There have been clues revealed by Coronation Street regarding Kit Green’s future move. After spending decades apart, Bernie Winter recently realized she had been tricked by her long-lost son Kit.

Resenting his biological mother for leaving him when he was a youngster, Kit is attempting to turn Gemma Winter and Paul Foreman against her. Police officer Kit used Lauren Bolton’s missing DNA to frame Nathan Curtis and have him arrested earlier this year; Joel Deering, the true culprit, is still at large.

On Monday (August 5) night, Kit secretly collaborated with criminal Sid and his illicit counterfeit T-shirt business, promising silence in exchange for half the profits. Next week’s spoilers hint at more intrigue surrounding Kit as he moves into Glenda Shuttleworth’s old room at the Rovers pub, recognising its potential as a hub of gossip.

Later in the week, he flirts with Daisy Midgeley as he settles into the Rovers. Meanwhile, Daisy’s love interest, Ryan Connor, admires Kit’s vinyl collection and suggests they go out for a drink.

The question remains: what are Kit’s intentions towards Daisy and Ryan, and why is he moving into the Rovers?

In the upcoming week, Paul, who has been diagnosed with motor neurone disease (MND), is disappointed when Kit fails to join them for a family dinner. Later, Paul plays Kit a message begging him to forgive Bernie for the sake of the family.

Kit stubbornly refuses but when Paul suddenly finds himself struggling for breath, Kit is thrown into panic….

This comes as viewers are convinced that Kit is secretly evil Joel’s accomplice on the cobbles. Viewers will recall that Lauren made a shock comeback last month as Cait Fitton reprised her role.

Weeks on from a brutal attack by Joel, which Weatherfield residents still don’t know about, Lauren, who was believed to be dead, was revealed to be alive as she headed to the hospital to visit Roy Cropper after he suffered a heart attack weeks on from him being wrongly imprisoned for Lauren’s ‘murder’.

And things only got more explosive when Joel confronted Lauren at the hospital, forcing her into a family room and pleading with her not to reveal what happened. As violent and evil Joel went to lash out again, Lauren protected her stomach revealing she was five months pregnant with his baby in a huge bombshell before fleeing the hospital.

Joel has been secretly harbouring Lauren in a vacant flat, making clandestine visits as he plans her move to Ireland. However, Joel’s sinister plot was unveiled last month when he was spotted searching “What drugs can induce premature labour” on his laptop.

Last week, Lauren faced a terrifying ordeal when she was mugged and subsequently collapsed at the flat, with her newborn son now battling for his life in an incubator.

Coronation Street fans have taken to Twitter to share their theories about the storyline. One viewer speculated: “I say Kit is involved more in this Lauren storyline like there’s something odd with him and could be a nice twist like maybe he knows Joel etc and maybe Kit is father of her baby #corrie”.

Another suggested: “I think that Kit ‘s in league with Joel . I’ve just got this feeling #Corrie”, while another pondered: “I wonder if Joel is Kits brother? ? #Corrie”. A different fan added: “I’m convinced that Kit is involved with Joel . He’s not been brought in just to be Bernie’s long lost son #Corrie.”

Fans of Coronation Street are certain that a “unlikely” character will put a stop to Joel Deering’s reign of terror.

The last few months have shown Joel’s true colors. The once-kind man attempted to kill Lauren Bolton and got her pregnant while grooming the teenage girl. Not only that, but he also attempted to abort the baby by forcing an early labor.

Lauren and the infant are lucky to be alive, but things can get worse.

Fans of the ITV soap opera, however, believe that bad boy Mason Radcliffe will be the one to kill sicko Joel.

Coronation Street bully Mason ‘to end’ Joel

Over in Coronation Street recently, Mason made his return after spending time in a young offenders’ institute.

Earlier this year, he made Liam Connor’s life hell and after his bullying was exposed and Mason attempted to threaten both Liam and Mason into silence, Mason was sentenced to a spell in a young offenders’ institute.

Since getting released last month, Mason has found himself sleeping rough. He has also struck up a friendship with troublemaker Betsy Swain. the daughter of DS Swain.

Betsy and Mason grow close in Coronation Street

Fans will know that Betsy is currently blackmailing Joel after she caught him trying to get her friend drunk a few weeks ago.

And in the soap this week, Joel was left shaken to find out that Betsy’s mum was DS Swain – the police officer determined to find out the truth about Lauren.

Cornering Joel, Betsy demanded cash from him – or else she would tell everyone about his picking up young girls. He then lost his temper and dragged Betsy into the ginnel before threatening her.

Coronation Street fans predict downfall of Joel

Now, amid his new friendship with Betsy, fans reckon it’ll be Mason that could put an end to Joel.

On social media, one person mused: “I wonder if Mason turns out to be the unlikely candidate to bring Joel to justice for his actions? He and Betsy have become very close.”

Someone else said: “Mason can sort Joel.” A third penned: “I wonder if Mason will get pulled into Joel’s story now that he’s getting close to Betsy?”
