Coronation Street fans 'rumble' Kit's true plan for 'corrupt' Costello

Fans of Coronation Street think Kit Green could be planning something after seemingly taking a bribe of sorts from DI Costello on Friday.

The character began snooping into Becky Swain's fake death, after months of him looking into the mystery surrounding the police officer and the last case she was on. Costello has repeatedly tried to stop Kit digging further, and on Friday he attempted this once more.

Kit wasn't the only one wanting answers though, as Carla Connor had enough of her fiancée Lisa Swain's ex Becky refusing to keep a low profile, despite supposedly having to be in hiding for four years. Her intentions led to Carla and Lisa calling her out, and soon Carla headed off to see Kit.

She shared her concerns about Becky being out in public so freely, despite possibly being a danger to her family. She then made it clear to Kit that she didn't buy the claims from Becky and Costello about her fake death and the reasons.

Kit questioned this, before admitting to Carla he too had his suspicions. He then revealed there was someone who might have the answers they both needed, and he vowed to contact them.

Of course Costello was spying on the pair, and he soon learned about Kit making contact with DI Crawley. Wanting Kit to back off once more, he told him he was considering promoting Kit for all of his hard work.

He vowed to push forward with it, but it was so obvious that he was trying to keep Kit onside to stop him digging any further. So it's clear from this that Costello is hiding something, and perhaps Becky is too.

But is Kit stringing Costello along, after seeming to accept the bribe? He claimed he'd thought about it and wanted to progress to DS, happy to go along with what Costello had said.

Some fans think he's lying though, and will use the new role against him. Viewers suggested Kit could be lying to keep him onside, and may continue to dig into Costello behind his back to find out the truth.

Taking to X, one fan said: "Kit knows exactly what Costello is doing and is going along with it so he can bring Costello down." Another agreed: "I'm hoping Kit takes it as a sign Costello is as corrupt as he believes & keeps investigating."

A third fan added: "I think Kit might be playing that wrong'un corrupt Costello. Maybe thinking helping bring down the corruption will earn him the promotion anyway. Could be wrong, but I hope I'm not. I also liked that he said 'Lisa's no mug'."
