I missed the bit about Alina's ex being dead?
Spill the beans - was this someone British, or when she was back in Romania?

I find it difficult to take the relationship between Alina and Tyrone seriously, it just seems too contrived. When Alina kissed Tyrone he was surprised and maybe even shocked, and it should have ended there, but Fiz kept going on about it and drove him towards her. I do not think Alina would have been attracted to him, thankful for his help with the business, yes, but attracted , no.
I do not know if I am imagining it but it seems that Soaps are concentrating more on relationships and relationship problems, than they used to. Corrie perhaps less so than Emmerdale. It helps them fill the six weekly episodes without having to come up wih other material. Myself I wish they could go back to three episodes a week with better quality.

I think you've hit the nail on the head there. Fewer episodes with better quality.
Plus some more humour too, it's so scarce these days. Yasmeen suggesting Jeremy Paxman as the new James Bond was the sort of stuff I love.
They say nostalgia isn't what it used to be.

Jack Duckworth telling Alec Gilroy that he talks to his pigeons and they talk back to him and Alec replying "like one bird brain to another".

They don't write them like they used to. - Alec was a great character, along with Annie and Jack Walker, Bette Lynch and Fred Gee, Fred Elliott, Derek and Mavis, and Bette Lynch, all great characters. Those were the hey days of Corrie.

When Sharon phones Harvey how does she know that a prison guard is not standing nearby and will hear the phone.
