Alina (played by Ruxandra Porojnicu) was the long-suffering girlfriend of Tyrone (Alan Halsall), for who he left Fiz Brown (Jennie McAlpine) earlier this year on Coronation Street. As well as believing she was going to marry the mechanic, the youngster also fell pregnant with his child before miscarrying when his stepdaughter Hope Stape (Isabella Flanagan) set fire to their flat with the expectant mother inside. The last time viewers of the ITV soap saw Alina was when she was waiting for a plane to take her back to Romania, with signs pointing towards another pregnancy as she was left cradling her stomach. As Tyrone begins to get on with his life in new scenes, it seems his former partner's sister could arrive to cause more havoc for him than he ever imagined.

In the coming weeks, former Emmerdale star Gemma Oaten will be making an appearance on the cobbles as the character of Isla.

Not much is known about the newcomer, other than she will have an interest in Tyrone and will want to pursue him for her own personal gains.

They will meet when their daughters attend a party together and although things will seem friendly at first, it will be clear the new arrival wants more.


However, what will transpire as the pair get more flirtatious is Isla is married and her husband doesn't take too kindly to being messed around.
To put her marriage on the line for the sake of getting closer to Tyrone could mean she is actually working on behalf of her sister, Alina.

It has never been referenced Alina has a sister, with the youngster only ever talking about a brother during her time on the cobbles.

But Isla could be a half-sister from who the expectant mother is estranged because of her rash and impulsive behaviour.

Knowing her half-sister has left the UK because of Tyrone, Isla might want to get revenge in the best way she knows how.

By publicly humiliating the mechanic and making it seem as if he likes to steal women from their husbands, she might think she is getting even.

Here true identity might be kept from Tyrone to ensure he feels as bad as he could for taking a married woman on a date.

Teasing more about her character, Gemma spoke to Express.co.uk and other press about what viewers can expect from Isla.

The soap actress said: "I would say she is bold. I found her quite brave and courageous. She knows who she is and owns it.

"Isla walks in [with the] mink faux fur coat and gilet. She?s not afraid to just own who she is and be a bit flirty.

"God forbid I use the word 'sexy', it?s not me because I?m not sexy at all! She felt like she was a sexy character."

With regards to her character's intentions with Tyrone, she added: "I think there?s an element of Isla that likes excitement and living on the edge, and she sees that in him and she wants to find out more."
