Secrets don’t remain hidden in Coronation Street for long—and next week, one Weatherfield mother gets nearer to the truth than ever. With suspicion mounting and emotional scars opening up again, a dramatic showdown is set to destroy what little remains of trust between a son and his mother.
Bernie’s Instinct Tells Her Something’s Wrong
Bernie Winter has tried for weeks to get to Kit Green, but their already strained relationship gets a further blow next week. She’s picked up that something doesn’t quite add up—particularly Kit’s silent bond with Mick Michaelis.
Earlier this week, Kit grilled Mick for a brutal attack. But rather than pushing him further, he let Mick walk free, raising eyebrows among those who felt something was afoot between them.
Bernie, no stranger to speaking out, starts to join the dots.
She discovers a picture that appears to corroborate her suspicions—teenage Kit and Mick. The picture takes her by surprise. She attempts to call Kit to get some answers, but he doesn’t take her call. So in typical Bernie style, she takes matters into her own hands.
Coronation Street: Kit Snaps as Bernie Corners Him with the Truth
When Bernie lets herself into Kit’s flat, he reacts with fury—but she isn’t intimidated. She faces him straight and asks him why he shielded Mick during the questioning. She believes that photo is worth more than he’s willing to acknowledge.
Kit attempts to push her back by saying she never cared about his childhood prior to now. He attacks, informing her she does not have a right to inquire after 30 years of nothing.
But Bernie is not being fooled. She can see beyond his tirade, knowing that it’s an attempt to distract from whatever reality he does not want to acknowledge.
The discussion devolves into an argument, but Bernie won’t give in. She is convinced that Mick must have some sort of leverage on Kit—something that’s kept him quiet and obedient. Kit won’t talk. He insists Bernie give him her key and go away.
A Family Rift That’s Far from Over
Bernie leaves, but she doesn’t intend to quit anytime soon. She knows there’s more to the story, and her motherly instincts are in full swing. Whatever Kit is keeping secret, it’s obvious it has something to do with his troubled past—and maybe with Mick’s return.
Audiences won’t have to wait long for the truth. Coronation Street will be showing a special 2007 flashback episode in the near future that will tease out Kit’s adolescence and his convoluted history with Mick. With old scars flaring up and secrets coming perilously close to being unearthed, Kit might not be able to avoid confronting his father forever.
