He has become smitten with mother of two Sarah Platt, while in an on-off relationship with Faye Windass on Coronation Street.

But Seb Franklin's head is set to be turned by another woman as actor Harry Visinoni filmed scenes with new face on the street Alina (Ruxandra Porojnicu).



Sultry Alina is set to catch Seb's eye when he heads to fix a burst pipe with a toolbox in hand.

It is unclear how many episodes Ruxandra will appear in and MailOnline has contacted a Coronation Street representative for a further comment.

Ruxandra looked delighted to be filming as she cracked a relaxed smile inside the nail bar, before wrapping up in a black and orange quilted jacket between takes.

Harry looked dapper in a khaki green jacket and jeans, paired with a pink shirt.

Seb is set for a turbulent time of time after becoming embroiled in a spat with loanshark Gary Windass (Mikey North) before the roof collapse.

Gary discovered that Sarah Platt cosied up to Adam Barlow after a drunk night out that saw the man try to kiss her.

While fans have speculated whether Sarah will end up having an affair with Seb Franklin, who was the first person to see her leaving Adam's flat.

After Sarah helped him when he was punched by Adam, the teen becomes smitten with the mother of two.

While Gary is also set to become the soap's latest villain as he takes on the role of a loan shark.

CORONATION Street is to feature a shocking storyline about modern slavery.

Bosses have hired actors to play an Eastern European gang including Romanian-born Ruxandra Porojnicu, who plays victim Alina.

Cobbles favourite Seb Franklin, played by Harry Visinoni, 19, will fall for the nail salon worker unaware of the squalid conditions she is forced to live in.

He will find himself dragged into the murky underworld of modern slavery when he tries to expose her gangmasters.

A source on the ITV soap said: “It’s a really gritty storyline but based on real issues thousands face in the UK every day.

“Coronation Street researchers have been working closely with the Salvation Army, which the government chose in 2011 to help those in need because of slavery.

“Since then more than 8,000 survivors of modern slavery and human trafficking have come in to their care.”

Show veteran Eileen Grimshaw, played by Sue Cleaver, 55, will also get caught up in the drama, to be aired in spring/summer, as she starts dating Polish builder Jan.

Kathy Betteridge, of Anti Trafficking and Modern Slavery at The Salvation Army, said: “The key to combating this horrific problem is for people to understand what it looks like.

Coronation Street will no doubt be of great help in this.”
