DC Kit Green (Jacob Roberts) is in a precarious position on Coronation Street after learning that his girlfriend Sarah Platt (Tina O’Brien) killed Theo Silverton. Viewers recall that Sarah hit Theo with a metal bar, leading to his death after he fell from scaffolding. In recent scenes, Sarah struggled to contain her guilt, and the secret emerged just as Kit proposed. Now, Kit must decide between protecting his girlfriend and preserving his career.
Kit prioritises self-preservation
According to actor Jacob Roberts, Kit is ultimately self-serving. 'He will protect her as much as he can, but Kit is ultimately going to protect himself first,' Roberts explained. 'He suddenly realises he’s been living with a murderer right under his nose. He isn’t going to be totally selfless here – he will only protect her as long as his own career is safe.'
Kit's perspective is: 'If you had told me this straight away, I could have done something about it. Now, I’m just left to pick up the pieces.'
Kit's investigation raises suspicion
In next week’s episodes, Kit attempts to gather information about the case. However, when he questions DC McLaughlin (Michelle Tate), he only makes her suspicious. Later, despite Kit assuring Sarah that Gary Windass (Mikey North) was the prime suspect, Sarah is arrested for Theo’s murder.
Police turn on Kit
The next day, as Sarah faces interrogation, DS Lisa Connor-Swain (Vicky Myers) pulls Kit aside and warns him that they suspect his involvement in Theo’s murder. When Sarah is charged, Lisa urges Kit to stop protecting her, citing the risk to his career. But will Kit listen?
Jacob Roberts insists Kit won't heed Swain's advice. 'There is no way he’s listening to Swain after everything that happened with Becky,' he said. 'When Lisa completely dropped the ball and thought Carla was just away on holiday and was moving away with Becky, Kit was the one who actually found Carla. He didn’t just do his job, he went above and beyond to protect her and the people she cares about. So for Swain to turn around, go completely behind his back and arrest Sarah without so much as a courtesy heads-up? It’s a massive slap in the face.'
Potential consequences for Kit
Kit now faces possible repercussions for keeping quiet about Sarah’s confession. The storyline continues to unfold on Coronation Street.
