Kit Green (Jacob Roberts) was recently dumped by Sarah Platt (Tina O’Brien) in Coronation Street, and he is already on the rebound.
Sarah has confessed to the murder of Theo Silverton and is currently awaiting trial behind bars.
Unfortunately, this put Kit in a difficult position professionally, given that he is a detective. This was the reason Sarah gave for ending their relationship, as she was worried that he would resent her for harming his career prospects in the long run.
Kit was understandably gutted to have been dumped, but actor Jacob Roberts pointed out that he needs to move on.
‘I think because it’s been going on for a while and he knew that he was always second choice, his ego has been damaged. He still tries, but the more he tries to help Sarah, the less he’s going to help himself and it’s going to affect his career.
‘So I think he’s thinking that it’s maybe too much now, because he’s done all he can.’
This week, Kit is set to go on a date with Jodie Ramsey (Olivia Frances-Brown), which causes a stir with Bethany Platt (Lucy Fallon), who loses her temper when she sees them together in the Bistro.
She’s not the only one to try to persuade Kit to rethink his choice of date, as Shona Platt (Julia Goulding) later warns him that Jodie is bad news and he should steer clear.
It seems that Kit is set to take their advice to heart, as next week Jodie receives a voice message from him explaining that he doesn’t want to see her again.
The message comes after Kit wakes up on the sofa as a mystery woman scuttles past him and out of the door.
As he looks at a photo of him and Sarah, he is awash with guilt.
‘Technically, Sarah let him go, so Kit hasn’t cheated,’ Jacob defended. ‘Obviously it’s still raw.’
Having been ditched by Kit, Jodie masks her anger as she slips out of the house before letting herself into Sarah’s flat to snoop around.
It is there that she listens in on a hushed conversation between Kit and Bethany, and is floored by what she hears.
Could Kit have found the guilt too hard to bear and confessed to his night of passion? And what will Jodie do with the knowledge if he has?
