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.

Kit claimed he was Bernie’s long lost son – but has been making her life a misery in recent weeks 

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.”

Fans reckon Kit is lying about who he really is

“So Kit’s biological parents adopted Bernie’s real son. That’s why he was at the house and knows all the history and has the surname Green. Kit wants revenge for his brother and possibly the turmoil she caused his family whilst he grew up.”

Endorsing this idea, yet another viewer pitched in: “Me too thought that something not right bout him defo twist to it.”

A fellow observer speculated: “Maybe had another brother who was adopted by Kit’s adoptive parents and is seeking vengeance for him? “.
