The long-running British soap Coronation Street has sparked intense speculation among 

fans after hinting at a shocking revelation regarding Kit Green’s true parentage — with theories suggesting his biological father could be a former villain from the cobbles’ dark past.

Kit Green, played by Jacob Roberts, first appeared on the show last year, introduced as 

Bernie Winter’s (Jane Hazlegrove) long-lost son. The storyline unraveled the emotional backstory of Bernie, who gave up her son, Christopher “Kit” Green, for adoption nearly three decades ago. Initially, Kit wanted nothing to do with his biological mother after she finally tracked him down. His arrival shook the Winter family dynamic, particularly for Bernie’s other children, twins Gemma (Dolly-Rose Campbell) and Paul (Peter Ash), who were stunned to learn they had an older brother they never knew existed.

Since his debut, Kit has proven to be a divisive figure on the cobbles. His character quickly became entangled in several dramatic plotlines — from his complicated relationship with Shona Platt (Julia Goulding) to shady activities in his job as a police officer, not to mention his involvement in a paternity twist with Daisy Midgeley (Charlotte Jordan). The drama escalated when Daisy tragically lost her baby following a hit-and-run incident orchestrated by David Platt (Jack P. Shepherd). David, overwhelmed by debt, intended to take his own life so his family could benefit from his life insurance. However, the plan backfired, leaving devastation in its wake — including the loss of Daisy’s baby, which Kit believed was his.

In the emotionally charged episode aired on Wednesday, March 12, tensions reached a boiling point. Kit discovered the truth about David’s desperate plan and, in a furious confrontation, took David to the police station. However, in a surprising twist, Kit drove him to a secluded waste ground instead. Their heated exchange revealed a rare, vulnerable side to Kit. He lashed out, not just with anger but with raw emotion, seemingly exposing his own personal trauma.

“You didn’t think about how they would feel — your kids — being left alone. But no, as long as you didn’t feel guilty,” Kit said, his voice trembling with intensity. “Not only does he [David] ruin everything he touches, he then decides to drag them all through that and kill himself. Run away and leave them with all that pain and grief.”

The moment left viewers wondering if Kit’s words were more than just condemnation of David’s actions. His emotional response felt deeply personal, leading fans to speculate that Kit might have experienced something similar in his past — perhaps his own father took his life. The heartfelt speech seemed to suggest that Kit wasn’t just talking about David’s children but reflecting on his own childhood pain.

Fans immediately took to social media to share their theories, with many convinced that Kit’s biological father is a former cobbles villain. One theory gaining traction points to Richard Hillman (Brian Capron), one of Coronation Street’s most infamous serial killers. Richard was married to Gail Platt (Helen Worth) and earned his place in soap history with his chilling attempt to murder the entire Platt family. In a now-iconic 2003 scene, Richard tied the family up, placed them in a car, and drove into the canal — ultimately drowning himself while the Platts survived.

Fans believe a DNA twist could be on the horizon, with some speculating that Kit may be Richard’s secret son, unaware of his true origins. One viewer commented on a popular Corrie fan page: “I’ve been saying for months that Kit’s dad is Richard Hillman! Both psychos.” Another agreed, adding: “You could be onto something… Kit might not know the full story about him or how he died.”

Others acknowledged how unexpected the theory sounds but admitted it could make sense given Coronation Street’s history of shocking revelations. “I wasn’t expecting that wild theory, but I could see it work tbh,” one fan wrote. Another added: “Exactly, we didn’t know much about Richard until he arrived.”

If this theory proves true, it would be a bombshell that connects Kit to one of Weatherfield’s darkest legacies, potentially reshaping his character’s trajectory. It would also plunge the Platt family — already dealing with David’s latest spiral — into further turmoil. With Coronation Street known for its jaw-dropping twists, it’s entirely possible that Kit’s storyline is building towards a dramatic DNA reveal that could change everything.

Whether Kit’s father turns out to be Richard Hillman or another unexpected figure from the soap’s past, one thing is certain: fans will be glued to their screens, eagerly awaiting the next chapter in this gripping storyline.
