There’s trouble brewing on the cobbles — and this time, it’s not just in Weatherfield. Across social media, Coronation Street fans are slamming the relationship between Kit Green and Sarah Platt, calling it “forced,” “awkward,” and completely unwatchable.

The ITV soap introduced Kit and Sarah as a couple a few months ago, following the collapse of Sarah’s marriage to Adam Barlow and Kit’s fizzled connection with Daisy Midgeley. But rather than warming up to this new pairing, fans are now calling for it to be scrapped altogether.

💔 FANS AREN’T BUYING IT

One viral Reddit post captured the mood perfectly:

“Anyone else think how forced and awkward this entire relationship is? They have zero chemistry. It’s like watching paint dry. They need to pack it in.”

Ouch. And that was just the beginning.

“Pretty much all of Sarah’s relationships now feel random,” another fan added. “The writers keep pairing her with bad boys for no reason. There’s no depth.”

“It’s weird she’s dating the guy who nearly wrecked her brother’s marriage,” one user pointed out. “They make no sense together.”

The online backlash only intensified when fans began campaigning for Sarah to reunite with Gary Windass, with whom she shares a complicated but passionate history.

“Sarah and Gary are ENDGAME,” one user wrote. “They had insane chemistry. Bring that back.”

“If they’re not going to put her back with Adam, at least give us something that feels real,” said another. “This thing with Kit? It’s DOA.”

🧨 “FORCED & FLAT” VS “UNDERRATED & SWEET”?

While the majority of posts lean critical, not everyone is on the hate train. A handful of fans did voice support for the unlikely couple, suggesting they just need better writing.

“I actually like them,” one fan chimed in. “They’ve both been hurt — maybe they can heal together.”

“Aww no, I quite like them!” another said. “It’s nice to see Sarah with someone new.”

But with the overwhelming wave of criticism, those voices are being drowned out by calls to end the storyline immediately.

😬 BACKLASH BUILDING – WHAT WILL THE WRITERS DO?

This isn’t the first time Coronation Street has faced viewer backlash over a romantic pairing. But the sheer volume of complaints — across Reddit, X (Twitter), and Facebook — is prompting speculation that the writers may already be planning an exit strategy.

And with Sarah’s daughter Bethany Platt (Lucy Fallon) set to return soon, fans are already fearing another ill-advised love triangle, or worse — a one-night stand with Kit.

“If they make Kit hook up with Bethany too, I’m DONE,” one viewer posted. “It’s already cringe. Don’t drag the whole Platt family into this disaster.”

🧠 WHY THIS HITS A NERVE

Part of the backlash stems from what fans see as a decline in Sarah’s romantic arcs. Once part of deep, emotionally layered relationships, she’s now seen as being tossed between random men — often without any clear buildup or connection.

“There was chemistry with Adam. There was fire with Gary. This? It’s nothing,” one longtime viewer wrote. “Just filler until the next twist.”

And with Kit’s past tied to dodgy connections, and Sarah still recovering from multiple betrayals, many feel their coupling simply doesn’t reflect the emotional growth or realism Corrie used to be known for.

🗯️ THE ENDGAME QUESTION

Will the writers listen? Will Sarah and Kit fizzle out under fan pressure? Or will Corrie double down and try to win viewers over?

One thing’s certain: this is the most divisive romance in Weatherfield right now — and the audience has spoken loud and clear.
