Kit, a corrupt police officer portrayed by Jacob Roberts, first appeared on the scene this year as Bernie’s (Jane Hazlegrove) long-lost child.

Bernie, a beloved character on the soap, gave up Christopher ‘Kit’ Green for adoption nearly three decades ago, and only recently managed to locate him. This revelation left Bernie’s twins Gemma (Dolly-Rose Campbell) and Paul (Peter Ash) shocked to discover they had another sibling.

Furthermore, Kit played a role in ensuring Nathan Curtis (Christopher Harper), a vile character, was imprisoned for the murder of Lauren Bolton (Cait Fitton). Kit planted Lauren’s DNA in paedophile Nathan’s van, framing him for the crime.

Since then, Kit has become a regular face on the cobbles, but viewers remain deeply suspicious of the officer.

This suspicion has only grown since he moved into the much-loved pub, Rovers Return, taking over Glenda Shuttleworth’s (Jodie Prenger) former room.

However, fans are puzzled by Kit’s decision to move into the pub, given that his own home, seen in his initial scenes on the show, appears to be quite luxurious, reports the Liverpool Echo.

Adding to the intrigue, some viewers believe Kit has a hidden agenda for moving into the Rovers, which spells trouble for landlord Jenny (Sally Ann Matthews).

Fans have taken to social media with theories that Kit might be plotting a siege or robbery. On a Corrie Facebook fan page, one viewer speculated: “Kit moving into the rovers… How long till a potential siege as he is a dodgy cop?

“Could be a storyline to look out for potentially maybe… not heard out but could be interesting,” they added. (sic)

Another fan questioned: “I don’t understand why he’s moved there? Perhaps he’s planning some sort of robbery, I wouldn’t put it past him.” (sic)

A third chimed in: “He’s probably going to try and take down the Rovers.”

While another wrote: “Not again! I hope not.”
