ONE Coronation Street resident was left shocked after it was revealed their mother had died unexpectedly.
The difficult scenes came as they began to grow closer to their family without them even realising it.
Policeman Kit Green is the long-lost son of Bernie Winter and brother to Gemma and Paul.
During tonight’s episode, Kit found himself growing closer to his long-lost relatives after deciding that he originally wanted to keep away from them.
So far, Bernie has only disclosed the truth about being Kit’s mother to Kit himself with the pair keeping the information a secret from the rest of the Street.
With Gemma and husband Chesney seemingly in financial ruin, the mum-of-five was looking at a stretch inside for shoplifting after nabbing, and then returning, a £45 pair of shoes.
Bernie pleaded with Kit to use his position in the force to help get Gemma off the charge.
Appearing to feel empathy for his struggling sister, he opted to get the shoe shop owner to drop all of the charges after digging around in his financial history and threatening to expose him.
Gemma was later left over-the-moon after discovering that Kit had gone out of his way to help her as they shared a quiet moment with each other back on the Street.
Unaware of who he was, she soon invited him in for a drink to say thank you where he spent time playing with Gemma’s quads.
Appearing happy being surrounded by his family, an incoming phone call soon saw Kit rocked to the core.
Sitting on Gemma’s sofa, he was left shaken as he was delivered the bombshell admission that his mum had suddenly died.
He was informed she had suffered a stroke and he soon raced to leave Gemma’s house but not before he came face-to-face with Bernie.
In his car, he raged at his birth mum as he said: “I should have been with her today.
“Instead I got caught up helping with your dodgy family.”
He sobbed as he was left distraught at the mum he “loved” being dead whilst the one who “abandoned” him “being very much alive”.
Amid his tears, Kit then soon appeared to have a change of heart as he told Bernie that his adoptive mum’s death had made him reflect and he was now keen to get to know Gemma and his dying brother Paul.
He insisted they tell the twin siblings everything tomorrow.
But as he headed back to the car, his smile appeared to drop – is Kit telling the whole truth?
