Coronation Street viewers are convinced that newcomer Kit Green isn’t all he seems and

have a theory that he might not actually be Bernie Winter’s long-lost son after all

Coronation Street fans have been left wondering if Kit Green, played by Jacob Roberts,

is really Bernie Winter’s long-lost son as he claims to be. Kit arrived on the scene earlier this year, claiming to be the son that Bernie (Jane Hazlegrove) gave up for adoption nearly 30 years ago. Despite Bernie’s efforts to reconnect with him, Kit seemed uninterested in forming a bond.

Bernie’s twins, Gemma ( Dolly-Rose Campbell ) and Paul (Peter Ash), were taken aback by the news of their unknown sibling. Adding to the mystery, Kit played a key role in bringing justice for Lauren Bolton (Cait Fitton) by implicating Nathan Curtis (Christopher Harper) in her murder, using dubious methods involving planted DNA.

Recently, Kit has become a regular face on Coronation Street, revealing a darker side as he fought to turn Bernie’s children against her. Most recently, he announced plans to buy Gemma and Chesney’s house and rent it back to them, reports the Liverpool Echo.

However, his true feelings towards Bernie came to light during a heated conversation, showing a clear dislike for her.

The recent surprises in the storyline have led Corrie fans to speculate that the character claiming to be Kit Green might actually be a fraudster. These incendiary theories sparked lively discussions on a dedicated Facebook fan page where one eagle-eyed viewer ventured, “I don’t think Kit is Bernie’s son I think he has stolen the identity of his housemate.”

“Maybe her [Bernie] son was adopted by Kit’s mother, and got treated better than Kit,” guessed one audience member. Another backed this assumption, affirming: “I agree but he is not housemate he is the adoptive brother.”
