Coronation Street's Alina and Emma romance as fans 'work out' relationship twist

Coronation Street fans predicted Emma Brooker and Alina Pop were about to fall for one another after watching tonight’s episode.

The two friends have been caught in a love triangle in recent months, with both dating Seb Franklin at different times.

Emma (Alexandra Mardell) recently ended her relationship with Seb, convinced he was besotted with his ex-girlfriend Alina (Ruxandra Porojnicu).

This evening, Emma and Alina patched up their friendship after spending the day in their apartment, having a heart to heart.

Alina had planned to meet Seb for a drink later in the evening, determined to maintain a friendship with her bothersome ex.

Before the secretive rendez-vous, she helped to free Emma’s arm from a vase, after the bartender accidentally got her hand trapped inside.

Later, Emma received a heartbreaking phone call about her half-brother Ollie’s condition, learning he had an incurable disease.

Devastated by the news, Alina was quick to comfort her, offering her pal Emma a shoulder to cry on.

In a bold move, Alina then rang Seb and cancelled their date, determined to put her friendship with Emma first.

Watching the scene play out from home, certain viewers wondered whether a potential romance between the pals was on the cards.

One said: “I’m totally here for an Emma and Alina relationship.”
