Coronation Street fans figure out Kit Green’s ‘real next move’ after DI Costello offer

It comes as those who follow the ITV soap have never really trusted the detective constable

Coronation Street fans think they have figured out DC Kit Green’s ‘real next move’ after he was given an offer by his boss, DI Costello.

Those who follow the ITV soap have never really trusted the detective constable, ever since he was revealed as Bernie Winter’s long-lost son last year.

But some have started to warm to the character, played by Jacob Roberts, as hs seemingly seems prepared to get to the bottom of when Costello is hiding for himself, and colleague DS Lisa Swain.

Fans will recall that Costello pushed Lisa into having therapy sessions, after the death of her colleague PC Craig Tinker triggered memories of the loss of her own wife, Becky Swain, in the line of duty.

Fans first heard about Becky last year when Lisa opened up to Carla Connor about her late wife as the pressures of being a detective sergeant on the Lauren Bolton and Joel Deering case and being a mum to teenage daughter, Betsy, got on top of her.

Since then, Corrie viewers have watched Lisa and Carla fall for one another and after moving into their first home together, No.6 Coronation Street, earlier this year, the pair recently got engaged.

But in a shock twist last month, Becky arrived in Weatherfield – alive and well. Lisa’s jaw was on the floor to see Becky, alive and well, opposite her in her new home with new fiancée Carla, with the arrival coming on their daughter Betsy’s, 18th birthday.

As an emotional Lisa was unable to figure out if what was happening was real, Becky explained that she had been in Spain under another name having been put into witness protection, following an undercover operation gone wrong.

Since then, Lisa has been trying to get to the truth of what really happened. She confronted her boss, who claimed Becky’s story to be true, but Corrie fans think he’s hiding more than he’s letting on, with Kit the only one suspicious of his superior – and Carla.

During the latest episode of Corrie on Friday (October 3), Costello was seen watching Kit in conversation with Carla, who rocked up at the police station.

Later, the detective spector was seen talking to Kit, and ended up offering him a promotion. While Corrie fans think that Costello is trying to oust Lisa, others have been speculating about Kit’s intentions.

@swarlanations posted: “I can’t believe I’m going to say this and I may delete this tweet, but… I think Kit would put Lisa first before a promotion.” @LadyLancashire1 replied: “Agreed. He is not a stupid man and he definitely has a plan. Keep your friends close and your enemies closer. He’s got Costello in his sights. Also if Costello goes, Lisa will be promoted and so will Kit..boom.”

@Fake_TV_Chef commented: “I think so too. I think Kit is now playing Costello on this promotion front to uncover the how corrupt he is. @creativesoul5 shared: “I don’t think Kit is falling for Costello’s BS. I think it will make him more determined to find out what happened. #Swarla.”

@Sjl170 shared: “Kit is very career driven, true, but he won’t like being manipulated. I don’t think he had a choice but to play ball with Costello right now, because of the position he was put in I still think when Becky is gone, this will end with a certain DI Swain & DS Green #Corrie #Swarla.” @Louise101050 added: “Kit knows exactly what Costello is doing and is going along with it so he can bring Costello down. #Corrie.”
