A Bribe That Raises Questions

Friday night’s Coronation Street left viewers buzzing as DI Costello attempted to silence Kit Green with the promise of a promotion. Costello, desperate to keep Kit from uncovering the truth about Becky Swain’s supposed death, dangled the offer of moving Kit up to Detective Sergeant. But was Kit really swayed by the bribe — or is he playing a much deeper game?

Carla Pushes for the Truth

The episode also saw Carla Connor step up, confronting Becky and Lisa over Becky’s suspicious behavior. After four years of supposedly being in hiding, Becky has been anything but discreet, leaving Carla to question whether the story about her faked death holds up. Taking her concerns to Kit, Carla made it clear she didn’t believe Costello or Becky’s version of events.

Kit appeared to share her suspicions, hinting that someone else might have the answers. He even promised to make contact, fueling speculation that he’s closing in on the truth.

Costello’s Desperation Exposed

Unbeknownst to Kit and Carla, Costello was spying on their conversation. Clearly rattled, he attempted once again to block Kit’s investigation — this time with the lure of career advancement. On the surface, Kit seemed to accept, agreeing to go along with Costello’s plan.

But to many fans, his compliance didn’t ring true.

Fans Believe Kit is Playing Along

Viewers quickly took to X (formerly Twitter) to share their theories. One fan wrote: “Kit knows exactly what Costello is doing and is going along with it so he can bring Costello down.” Another added: “I’m hoping Kit takes it as a sign Costello is as corrupt as he believes and keeps investigating.”

Others believe Kit may be using the promise of promotion against Costello, keeping him close while secretly building a case to expose him. One fan summed it up: “I think Kit might be playing that wrong’un Costello. Maybe helping bring down the corruption will earn him the promotion anyway.”

The Game of Deception Continues

Whether Kit is genuinely tempted by the promotion or setting Costello up for a bigger fall, one thing is clear: the Becky Swain mystery is far from over. With Carla and Kit now aligned in their suspicions, and Costello scrambling to protect his secrets, fans are bracing themselves for an explosive showdown.
