Coronation Street has appeared to hint at mystery newcomer Kit Green’s next plan as he ‘targets’ an unlikely duo next week on the ITV soap

Coronation Street has appeared to hint at mystery newcomer Kit Green’s next plan.

Only recently, Bernie Winter learnt the hard way that she had been set up by her long-lost son Kit, weeks on from them reuniting after decades apart. Kit can’t forgive his biological mum for abandoning him and not making contact when he was younger with him attempting to turn her other two children, Gemma Winter and Paul Foreman, against her.

Meanwhile, earlier this year, police officer Kit planted a then missing Lauren Bolton’s DNA to frame Nathan Curtis, who was arrested, with real culprit Joel Deering still at large. While on Monday night, Kit got into secret cahoots with criminal Sid and his dodgy counterfeit T-shirt business, warning he wont say a word as long as he gets half the cut of profits.

In spoilers next week, there’s more mystery teased for Kit as he moves into Glenda Shuttleworth’s old room at the Rovers pub, realising it’s gossip central and will serve him nicely. Later in the week, as he moves into the Rovers, he decides to flirt with Daisy Midgeley. Meanwhile, Daisy’s love interest, Ryan Connor, is impressed with Kit’s vinyl selection and suggests going out for a drink. What does Kit want with Daisy and Ryan, and why is he moving into the Rovers?

Elsewhere next week, Paul, who has been diagnosed with motor neurone disease (MND), is upset when Kit fails to join them for a family dinner. Later, Paul plays Kit a message imploring him to forgive Bernie for the sake of the family. Kit stubbornly refuses but when Paul suddenly finds himself struggling for breath, Kit is thrown into panic…

It comes as viewers are convinced that Kit is secretly evil Joel’s accomplice on the cobbles. Viewers will recall that Lauren made a shock comeback last month as Cait Fitton reprised her role. Weeks on from a brutal attack by Joel, which Weatherfield residents still don’t know about, Lauren, who was believed to be dead, was revealed to be alive as she headed to the hospital to visit Roy Cropper after he suffered a heart attack weeks on from him being wrongly imprisoned for Lauren’s ‘murder’.

And things only got more explosive when Joel confronted Lauren at the hospital, forcing her into a family room and pleading with her not to reveal what happened. As violent and evil Joel went to lash out again, Lauren protected her stomach revealing she was five months pregnant with his baby in a huge bombshell before fleeing the hospital.

Since then, Joel has been hiding Lauren in an empty flat and is still secretly visiting her as he attempts to get her move to Ireland sorted. However, last month, Joel’s real sick plan was revealed as he was seen searching on his laptop: “What drugs can induce premature labour”. Last week, there was horror for Lauren as she was mugged before suddenly collapsing at the flat with her newborn son since fighting for his life in an incubator.

Taking to Twitter, now X, one person said: “I say Kit is involved more in this Lauren storyline like there’s something odd with him and could be a nice twist like maybe he knows Joel etc and maybe Kit is father of her baby #corrie”, a different account put: “I think that Kit ‘s in league with Joel . I’ve just got this feeling #Corrie”, another wrote: “I wonder if Joel is Kits brother?? #Corrie” while a different account added: “I’m convinced that Kit is involved with Joel . He’s not been brought in just to be Bernie’s long lost son #Corrie.”
