Coronation Street: Tina O’Brien Teases Sarah & Kit’s Future – But Can Love Survive When the Past Won’t Stay Buried?

Sarah Platt is no stranger to heartache. Over the years on Coronation Street, she’s navigated messy breakups, betrayal, scandal, and family drama that would leave most people permanently closed off to romance. Yet somehow, Sarah always finds herself willing to take another leap of faith.

And right now, against all odds, she’s found herself in something that feels… good. Perhaps too good.

Her romance with Kit Green has given her a stability she hasn’t known in years. After decades of portraying Sarah, Tina O’Brien is all too aware of how rare that is in Weatherfield. Speaking with Inside Soap, the actress teased that while the couple is in a strong place now, there’s a storm brewing just over the horizon—one that could test Sarah’s trust in ways she’s never faced before.

A Love Forged in Crisis

Sarah and Kit’s relationship didn’t begin with candlelit dinners and champagne. It was forged in fire—specifically, the aftermath of Kit being viciously stabbed by Brody Melis. The attack could have pushed them apart. Instead, it drew them closer, creating a bond forged in survival and resilience.

“Sarah’s in a great place at the moment,” Tina revealed. “Work is going well, her relationship’s going well. Bethany’s in London, and she misses her, but overall, life’s good.”

For Sarah, whose love life has been a revolving door of chaos, that calm is uncharted territory. And maybe that’s why she’s holding on so tightly to it—because in Weatherfield, happiness is rarely permanent.

Kit’s Shadows

Despite the stability, Sarah is well aware that Kit comes with baggage. And not the kind that’s easy to unpack.

One of the most shocking revelations in recent months was that Kit is Brody Melis’s biological father. Brody, a troubled teen with a dangerous streak, has already made enemies on the cobbles, and his connection to Kit has thrown Sarah into situations she never imagined she’d face.

Even more unsettling is Kit’s tendency to keep parts of his life locked away. He’s private, guarded, and occasionally evasive about his past. While Sarah trusts him—for now—there’s a part of her that can’t ignore the feeling that he’s keeping something big from her.

“She knows there’s a mysterious side to him,” Tina admitted. “But aside from that, she trusts him and thinks maybe they could have a future together.”

Offscreen Chemistry, Onscreen Tension

While Sarah and Kit’s relationship may be laced with secrets on-screen, off-screen, Tina O’Brien is full of praise for Jacob Roberts, who joined the cast in May 2024. Roberts, already nominated for Best Newcomer at this year’s Inside Soap Awards, has made a strong impression with viewers and co-stars alike.

“I was genuinely pleased,” Tina said of learning they’d be working together. “He’s a lovely guy. Apart from the height difference—and the fact they’ve had to give me stilettos so I can look him in the eye—it’s been brilliant.”

Their easy rapport translates well to the screen, making Sarah and Kit’s bond feel believable even when the script has them navigating murky waters.

The Calm Before the Storm

Right now, Sarah and Kit present a united front. But in Weatherfield, unity is often the fragile calm before everything blows apart.

Kit’s “mysterious side” could easily become the crack that splinters their foundation. If his secrets are revealed—and in Coronation Street, they always are—Sarah will have to decide whether love is enough to survive whatever truths come to light.

Could Kit’s connection to Brody pull him into dangerous territory again? Will Sarah be forced to choose between the man she loves and her own safety? Or will Kit’s past involve something far darker than anyone has guessed?

Tina O’Brien’s hints suggest we should be bracing ourselves. “There’s always that feeling in Corrie that when something seems too good to be true, it probably is,” she teased.

Ripple Effects in Weatherfield

If Kit’s secrets do surface, the fallout won’t be confined to just their relationship. The Platts have weathered more than their fair share of scandal, and another shock could fracture the already delicate balance within the family.

• David Platt may not trust Kit at all, seeing him as a ticking time bomb in Sarah’s life.
• Gail Rodwell could once again find herself trying to hold her family together as old wounds are reopened.
• Bethany, away in London, might be drawn back into Weatherfield by the chaos, especially if she believes her mother’s happiness is at risk.

Kit himself could be forced into a corner—having to choose between protecting Sarah from his past or protecting himself from the people and events still lurking in it.

A Love Story on Borrowed Time?

For now, Sarah is choosing hope. She’s holding on to her happiness, even if she can sense shadows lingering at the edge.

But in Coronation Street, love rarely survives untouched. Kit’s past will not stay buried forever, and when it resurfaces, it could destroy everything they’ve built.

The question isn’t just if the truth will come out—it’s whether Sarah will still be standing beside Kit when it does.

Sarah Platt has survived heartbreak before. She’s rebuilt her life from the rubble more than once. But if Kit’s secrets threaten the safety of her family, she may be forced to walk away—not because she wants to, but because loving him could come at too high a cost.

And in Weatherfield, the past never stays in the past.
