Kit Green’s growing involvement with Sarah Platt has stirred up a wave of reactions in Coronation Street, and many fans aren’t holding back. Now that Sarah is still picking up the pieces from her shattered marriage and Kit is carving out a new place in the street’s tangled web, viewers have started to question whether this latest pairing should have happened at all.
From Broken Marriages to New Pairings
Kit initially entered the scene through his connection with Daisy Midgeley, but their spark never fully caught fire. Around the same time, Sarah’s marriage to Adam Barlow crumbled after her affair with Damon Hay came to light, leaving her emotionally exposed and searching for direction. When Kit and Sarah began growing close, it felt less like a sweeping romance and more like two people clinging to what was convenient.
Those early scenes between them didn’t go unnoticed by long-time fans. Some even suspected their connection was being telegraphed from Kit’s first few episodes, especially after Sarah’s questionable decision to plant evidence came into play. But while the signs pointed toward a future fling, few expected it to become a full-on relationship. Making matters murkier is Kit’s complicated past with Sarah’s family.
Viewers Call the Relationship ‘Forced and Awkward’ in Coronation Street
Online discussion around Kit and Sarah’s relationship has only intensified. On Reddit, one viewer summed up the sentiment bluntly: “Anyone else think how forced and awkward this entire relationship is? They have zero chemistry and when they do interact it’s like watching paint dry. They need to pack it in.”
Another echoed that thought, admitting they had predicted this storyline from the moment Kit appeared, but felt it never should have gone ahead. “Put her back with Adam,” they suggested, even though they believed that reunion wasn’t likely.
Some fans pointed out the uncomfortable overlap between Kit’s past interference in Sarah’s family and their current romance. One user commented, “It feels a bit weird that she’s pursuing a relationship after he nearly wrecked her brother’s marriage.”
Others took issue with Sarah’s broader romantic storylines. “Pretty much all of Sarah’s relationships now are forced and awkward,” one viewer wrote, adding that the writers seem obsessed with pairing her with bad boys regardless of logic. Another fan chimed in: “Kit and Sarah don’t have chemistry. They are so blah together. Don’t know why they paired them up anyway.”
Some Still Back Sarah’s Romantic Future Just Not With Kit
Not all fans have written Sarah off completely. Many believe she still has chemistry with someone else entirely, Gary Windass. “I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again… Sarah and Gary are Endgame. They had insane chemistry,” one user insisted. Another viewer agreed, saying that Sarah still shares a believable dynamic with Gary, and suggested the writers should go for an affair plot and eventually reunite them as a couple.
Even so, a handful of viewers have come out in support of Sarah and Kit. One fan shared, “Aww no, I quite like them!” And with Bethany Platt soon returning to the cobbles, others voiced concern over potential new drama. “Bethany is back soon,” a user pointed out. “I hope they don’t do some affair/one-night stand storyline with Kit and Bethany.”
Can This Pairing Survive the Backlash in Coronation Street?
Kit and Sarah may still be trying to find their rhythm, but for many viewers, the pairing already feels like a misstep. As the weeks unfold and Bethany’s return adds another layer of tension, fans will be watching to see whether the writers double down, or quietly call it quits.
Whether this romance grows into something meaningful or fizzles under public pressure, Coronation Street clearly has more twists in store. Stay tuned to Soap Opera Daily for all the latest Corrie updates and behind-the-scenes scoop.
