Coronation Street Explodes: Kit Faces His Dark Past as Mick Escapes – Will the Truth Destroy Them Both?

Coronation Street fans, brace yourselves — this week promises to be one of the most explosive yet, as former friends become deadly enemies and long-buried secrets rise to the surface.

Detective Kit Green (played by Jacob Roberts) is thrown into chaos when his old friend-turned-killer Mick makes a shocking escape from prison. It’s a chilling twist that reopens old wounds and forces Kit to confront the very demons he’s been hiding for years. Their history isn’t just complicated — it’s explosive. Flashbacks reveal a twisted brotherhood, once bound by loyalty and betrayal, that shattered when Kit let Mick take the fall for a crime they both shared.

Now, with Mick on the run and vengeance on his mind, Kit must stop him before more lives are lost — including his own. But nothing about this confrontation is simple. The audience was given a jaw-dropping preview of what’s to come as Kit and Mick go head-to-head on a rooftop, the tension thick with unspoken truths and decades of guilt. The line between justice and revenge has never been thinner.

“He’s not that innocent,” Jacob Roberts admits of Kit, adding fuel to the fire that the beloved detective may have far more skeletons in his closet than anyone suspected. For viewers who thought Kit was the straight-laced hero, this week will prove otherwise. The drama is layered with moral complexity — what do you do when the man you betrayed becomes your greatest threat?

But that’s not all.

Kit’s potential connection to his long-lost son Broady adds another emotional twist to the already tangled storyline. Is it too late for reconciliation? Roberts isn’t optimistic. “I don’t think Kit trusts Broady,” he says, pointing to Broady’s troubled past and close ties to Mick as reasons their bond may be beyond repair. “The damage has already been done.”

Behind the scenes, the physicality of the rooftop scenes pushed the cast to their limits. Roberts recalls real punches thrown and bruises earned as he and actor Joe Layton (Mick) battled it out under tight time constraints. “Joe actually hit me on the chin,” Roberts laughed. “I was sore the rest of the day, but that’s the job — it’s gritty and real, and that’s what fans love.”

Off-screen, Roberts balances the intense storylines with life as a dog dad to his rescue pup, Boosy — a source of both joy and chaos. “First day on set, Boosy escaped his leash and was gone for eight hours,” he shared. “I spent my first day on Corrie trying to rugby tackle a runaway dog!”

Despite the chaos — on-screen and off — Roberts is thrilled with the direction of Kit’s story. From fight scenes to moral reckonings, this arc cements Kit as one of Weatherfield’s most compelling characters.
