Coronation Street's Ruxandra Porojnicu has hinted at a new love interest for her character Alina Pop.
The ITV soap previously confirmed that the actress would be returning to the cobbles to further explore her relationship with Seb Franklin (Harry Visinoni).
However, with Seb now coupled up with Emma Brooker (Alexandra Mardell), Ruxandra has suggested that Alina could turn her attention to someone else.
Speaking to the Daily Star about Alina's return, Ruxandra said: "She's trying to make a life for herself in Weatherfield but that comes with its own set of problems.
"Seb is there with Emma, but maybe someone else catches her eye."
That's not the only drama Alina will be at the centre of, however. When she returns to Weatherfield next week, she'll pip Eileen Grimshaw (Sue Cleaver) to a job at the factory.

"Poor Eileen doesn't do so well, but I am so proud of Alina," said Ruxandra. "It's a customer services role and she'll be working in the office.
"It's going to be so interesting to see her interact with other characters."
Coronation Street airs Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays at 7.30pm and 8.30pm on ITV.
