"I worked with some of the finest people,who are not only extremely talented but very humble and caring. They made me feel welcome and a part of this beautiful family. TA EVERYONE!"

Coronation Street viewers haven't actually seen the last of Alina yet, as she is set to appear in Thursday's special hour-long episode.

Though Alina revealed she'd got pregnant weeks after her tragic miscarriage, she has decided to leave Weatherfield because Tyrone has admitted he wants to get back with ex-partner Fiz.

Viewers will next see Tyrone tracking Alina down to beg her to stay on the cobbles for the sake of raising their child with both parents.

Over the summer, Porojnicu spoke about how thrilled she'd been to be at the centre of a pregnancy storyline with established characters Tyrone and Fiz.

"I was excited because it's a storyline I've never played before and it's always good to have a challenge," she said at the time.

Porojnicu made her first appearance in Coronation Street in April 2019 as part of a powerful storyline about modern slavery with Seb Franklin.

Coronation Street airs on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 7.30pm and 8.30pm.
