Corrie fans believe they’ve “cracked the case” regarding Kit Green’s intentions, and it spells trouble for Craig Tinker.
Kit Green (Jacob Roberts), who arrived in Weatherfield as Bernie Winter’s (Jane Hazlegrove) long-lost son, has been a source of intrigue since his introduction. Bernie had given up Christopher ‘Kit’ Green for adoption nearly three decades ago.
Despite Bernie’s efforts to reconnect a few months back, Kit wanted nothing to do with her. Meanwhile, Bernie’s twins Gemma (Dolly-Rose Campbell) and Paul (Peter Ash) were shocked to discover they had another sibling.
Moreover, Kit played a role in getting Nathan Curtis (Christopher Harper) jailed for the murder of Lauren Bolton (Cait Fitton). Fans will remember that the troubled youngster disappeared earlier this year but is actually alive.
In a shocking turn of events, Kit planted Lauren’s DNA in paedophile Nathan’s van, framing him. However, viewers discovered the real story behind Lauren’s disappearance: she was attacked by solicitor Joel Deering (Calum Lill).
Since then, Kit has become a regular face on the cobbles, with fellow officer Craig Tinker (Colson Smith) taking a liking to him. But during Monday’s episode (July 15), Kit seemed determined to dig up some dirt on Craig.
The corrupt detective invited Craig for a pint at the Rovers Return with the intention of getting him drunk. As Craig’s drinking increased, Kit tried to extract any information from his colleague’s past that could be used against him.
Corrie enthusiasts are voicing their concerns about Craig’s future after witnessing Kit’s dodgy actions, predicting he might either blackmail Craig or get him booted from the force.
On a Facebook fan page, one worried viewer speculated: “What’s Kit up to with Craig? ” Another chimed in with: “He’s a bent cop and trying to get pc tinker the sack I think.” (sic)
Another fan suggested: “Leverage to blackmail Craig with, so Craig will then need to keep quiet about Kit’s own bent cop antics.” Meanwhile, another viewer expressed distrust: “I don’t like him I think he’s devious.” A fifth person agreed, saying: “He’s up to no good.” (sic)
