In an emotionally charged storyline that promises to shake up Coronation Street, Kit Green finds himself spiraling into uncertainty as a devastating possibility begins to dawn on him: could Brody, the troubled teen recently released from a Secure Training Centre, actually be his biological son?
Up until now, Brody has been believed to be the child of Mick and Lou. Viewers have watched as he wormed his way into Weatherfield, initially forming a seemingly harmless friendship with Dylan Wilson. But that illusion was soon shattered when Brody’s dark nature emerged — he threatened both Dylan and his father Sean, pressuring them into illegal activity. When Sean failed to procure a burner phone as demanded, Brody retaliated by unleashing violence: Dylan was roughed up by Brody’s mates, and Mick took it further by assaulting Sean in a chilling show of power.
But behind the violence and manipulation lies a secret that could change everything.
Flashback scenes recently aired that cast new light on the dynamics between Kit, Mick, and Lou. It was revealed that Kit and Lou were romantically involved in the past, and that Mick once took the fall for a fire — a fire that might not have been solely his doing. As these memories surface, Kit begins to reevaluate everything. The key moment comes when he spots Brody at Speed Daal and does the math — the timing lines up. Could this troubled young man be his son?
Actor Jacob Roberts, who portrays Kit, has opened up about his character’s growing suspicion and emotional turmoil. In interviews, Roberts makes it clear that Kit is completely unprepared for fatherhood — especially when the potential son in question is a rebellious teenager with a criminal streak. According to Roberts, Kit doesn’t believe people like Brody can change, particularly after a formative upbringing with someone like Mick.
“Kit obviously knows that Brody’s just come out of the STC. And, I don’t think you can change a lad. I think the damage has already been done,” he said. “Even if Brody is his, Kit feels disconnected — as though he’s not responsible, because the boy believes Mick is his father. Kit thinks: ‘He’s not mine. I had nothing to do with raising him.’”
But viewers can sense Kit’s internal struggle. There’s a quiet heartbreak in his realization — he might have lost 16 years of a son’s life without even knowing. And worse, Brody may have inherited more than Kit’s DNA — he may have picked up his aggressive, volatile behavior from Mick, who stepped into the father role with a heavy, dangerous hand.
As for Lou, the implications are even murkier. If Brody is indeed Kit’s son, why was the truth kept hidden? Was it a deliberate deception on Lou’s part, or was she protecting Kit — or perhaps herself — from the fallout of a love triangle that spiraled into tragedy? With Mick’s history of manipulation and violence, Lou’s motives could be more complex than they appear.
The possible paternity twist sets up a dramatic turning point not just for Kit, but for multiple characters. Kit must now wrestle with questions of identity, responsibility, and redemption. Is it too late to step up as a father? Can he break the cycle of dysfunction that’s already taken hold of Brody?
And what about Brody? If the truth comes out, how will he react to the news that the man he thought was his father isn’t — and that his real dad is someone who seems to want nothing to do with him? Will the revelation push him further down a dark path, or could it be the jolt he needs to change course?
Coronation Street has yet to officially confirm the twist, but the hints are becoming increasingly difficult to ignore. With emotional flashbacks, subtle character shifts, and powerful performances from the cast, this storyline is building toward a major reveal — one that promises to leave viewers reeling.
As the pieces of the puzzle start to fall into place, all eyes are on Kit. Can he rise to the challenge of unexpected fatherhood, or will the weight of this newfound truth crush him?
Only time will tell whether this twist will bring healing or destruction. But one thing is certain: Weatherfield will never be the same.
