Actor Jacob Roberts, who plays Kit Green on Coronation Street, has teased whether his ITV soap character could be a killer.
Ever since Bernie Winter’s long-lost son Kit arrived on the show earlier this year, it’s been clear he is hiding something. His past remains a mystery, with the police detective dabbling in the odd crime.
His behaviour and games have left many convinced he could be hiding a dark secret, with him regularly up to no good. But is he harbouring a dark past, and is he a villain to watch out for?
Kit is currently investigating the murder of Joel Deering on the show, with some fans even wondering if he might be the killer. But is Kit capable of murder?
Speaking to The Mirror in September before the Joel twist aired, actor Jacob addressed the fan theories surrounding Kit’s mysterious past, and whether he might have killed someone before. While he wasn’t specifically speaking about the Joel storyline, the scenes would have already been filmed when we spoke to him – so might he have been teasing whether Kit could have killed Joel?
He certainly teased there was something fans were yet to uncover about him, while he hopes it will stay this way. Again while he wasn’t speaking about Joel specifically it could be relevant, as he told us whether he thought Kit was a killer or not.
Jacob said: “I’m enjoying that you don’t know too much about him at the moment. That mystery there, he’s an independent character. He doesn’t rely on anyone else. I would quite like to keep it that way for as long as possible before you find out why he is the way he is.
“I think he has a bad side, but I don’t think he is quite a villain but I’ll let the audience be the judge that one. He does things and justifies them like with the Nathan stuff. He thought he was getting another bad person off the street.
“We don’t know if he’s capable of murder or if he’s totally innocent. That sort of stuff is always nice to know but I don’t even know what’s coming up! I just like this naughty side where he can get away with it, and if we can keep going with that, the blackmail, the people in his pockets, that would be great.” As the plot deepens, will Kit end up being confirmed as a suspect?
