“She’s definitely heartbroken about Seb, as she knew that he was in love with her as well at one point. But Alina is a good girl and respects Seb’s relationship with Emma.

Seb is surprised to see his former flame back in Weatherfield and introduces her to his new girlfriend Emma.
Alina reveals that she’s looking for a place to live and Seb suggests to Emma that Alina moves in with them.
Speaking about Seb’s offer, Ruxandra said: “Oh god, who would do that? I would run away. I think it’s not a good idea, but it’s a nice gesture from Seb.”
Recently Ruxandra teased a love triangle. Could this be a recipe for disaster?
Alina was introduced to viewers last year when Seb was asked to do some work at a local nail salon.
He soon met and quickly fell for nail technician Alina, however it wasn’t long before he realised something wasn’t right.
He discovered she was living in the back of the salon and her boss Rachel, was a human trafficker.
