CORONATION Street fans are convinced they’ve uncovered the true identity of policeman Kit, who is supposedly Bernie’s long-lost son.
Kit Green, played by Jacob Roberts, has made some pretty morally questionable decisions over the last few weeks, leaving soap fans with the feeling he’s hiding something big.
The corrupt copper rocked up in Weatherfield a few weeks ago and reunited with his birth mother Bernie Winter (Jane Hazlegrove).
Since then, Kit has become a regular fixture on the cobbles – but it’s not been smooth sailing with Bernie.
Showing his deep-rooted anger to his biological mum, Kit took the opportunity to blow up her life. Bernie had hoped to tell her kids, Gemma (Dolly-Rose Campbell) and Paul (Peter Ash) ,that they had a brother on her own terms, but he beat her to it.
Kit also crossed a line when he got Nathan Curtis (Christopher Harper) sent to prison for the murder of Lauren Bolton (Cait Fitton). Kit planted Lauren’s DNA in paedophile Nathan’s van and framed him.
Actor Jacob previously opened up about his character Kit, saying: “I do think he is going to be a very misunderstood character at first.
“He’s been really hurt throughout his life and although he has a good heart, he has some deep-rooted resentment with his biological mum, which will be really interesting to play out.”
But as Kit has shown off his morally questionable behaviour at work too, fans are convinced he’s hiding something much more sinister.
Corrie fans believe Jacob’s character isn’t the real Kit Green at all.
On a Coronation Street Facebook fan page, one viewer theorised: “I don’t think Kit is Bernie’s son, I think he has stolen the identity of his housemate.”
Many other soap fans were quick to agree that Kit isn’t who he says he is, but they have different theories on how he stole the “real Kit’s” identity.
“Maybe her [Bernie] son was adopted by Kit’s mother, and got treated better than Kit,” said a second fan.
A third chimed in and wrote: “I agree but he is not a housemate, he is the adoptive brother.”
Is it possible Jacob’s character wants revenge for his upbringing, or to disrupt his brother’s biological parents’ life the way his was?
“So Kit’s biological parents adopted Bernie’s real son. That’s why he was at the house and knows all the history and has the surname green. Kit wants revenge for his brother and possibly the turmoil she caused his family whilst he grew up,” another viewer mused.
Corrie has said goodbye to several cast members this year. Let's break down who's left the famous soap:
Eliza Woodrow (Savannah Kunyo) has said farewell to Corrie to start a new life in Germany.
The youngster moved to live with her dad Dom Everett, who went back on the £10,000 bribe Eliza’s grandfather Stu had offered to keep him out of her life.
Paul Foreman (Peter Ash) will bow out of the soap this summer when he loses his fight with motor neurone disease (MND) in tragic scenes.
After being diagnosed last year, the fan favourite was devastated to learn he only had months left to live.
Viewers know he is planning to take his own life to end his suffering.
Summer Spellman (Harriet Bibby) departed the cobbles after being offered the opportunity of a lifetime to study in America.
Though she struggled to decide with her stepdad Paul’s impending death from MND, she was convinced she had to live her life to the full.
Simon Barlow (Alex Bain) has struggled with the sudden departure of his father Peter from the cobbles.
The Weatherfield legend left his family and loved ones behind on Boxing Day, 2023, when his wife Carla Connor encouraged him to travel around the world with a friend.
Simon’s been on a downward spiral ever since and his exit could end in tragedy.
Alya Nazir is set to leave the cobbles as actress Sair Khan prepares to go on maternity leave ahead of the birth of her first child.
It looks likely she’ll be heading to Dublin after securing a lucrative new job, leaving her colleague and fling Adam Barlow behind.
Show stalwart Sue Cleaver, who plays Eileen Grimshaw, is taking a break to star in the Sister Act The Musical UK tour. She will be back filming in May once her dates on the tour come to an end.
Her character left the Street after her son Jason broke his back after falling off a moped in Asia.
Agreed, a fifth fan said: “I thought that something was not right about him, definitely a twist to it.”
While a fifth posed: “Maybe had another brother who was adopted by Kit’s adoptive parents and is seeking vengeance for him?”
Coronation Street airs Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 8pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
