In a jaw-dropping twist on Coronation Street, Tyrone Dobbs is left reeling after discovering he has a son he never knew about. The shocking revelation unfolds when Fizz Stape encounters Tyrone’s former lover, Alina Pop, who has a young boy on her phone’s lock screen. Despite Alina claiming the child is her nephew, Fizz suspects he may actually be Tyrone’s son, given his age.

The truth comes to light in a dramatic turn of events when Cassie Plumber, working at Street Cars, intercepts Alina’s call for a taxi to the airport. Recognizing the name, Cassie decides to personally drive Alina back to Coronation Street so Tyrone can confront her. Both Tyrone and Alina are distressed by Cassie’s actions, but Alina eventually agrees to speak with Tyrone.

In a tense converation at the café, Alina confirms that her son, Doran, is indeed Tyrone’s. She reveals that Doran was born in Hastings, a key detail for Tyrone, who had previously sought legal advice from DD Bailey regarding his potential paternal rights. DD had informed Tyrone that navigating Romanian laws would be complex, making Doran’s UK birth crucial for a smoother process.

As Alina plans to return to Romania temporarily for a trafficking trial, Tyrone is devastated by the missed opportunities to bond with Doran. Tyrone shares the news with Fizz, explaining that Alina will stay in the UK until the trial concludes, residing at the Chariot Square Hotel. Although Fizz is furious about Tyrone’s commitment to cover the hotel expenses, she agrees to take extra shifts to ensure they can still afford their holiday.

The news also forces Tyrone to break the revelation to his daughters, Hope and Ruby. Hope’s reaction is particularly harsh, and when Fizz questions Tyrone about his willingness to be involved in Doran’s life permanently, she is upset by his affirmative response. This new development threatens to strain Tyrone’s relationship with his family and raises the possibility of him seeking full custody of his newfound son.
