Coronation Street fans are in for a treat as a special flashback episode focusing on Mick, Lou, and Kit is scheduled to air on Friday, May 16. The episode takes us all the way back to 2007, revealing the trio’s complex teenage years.
Here’s everything we know so far about the highly anticipated episode:
1. Kit’s Mysterious and Dark Past
Modern-day Kit has always hinted at having a dark side — no matter how much he tries to keep it buried. But fans have only seen small glimpses of this. The flashback will finally explore what made Kit the man he is today.
It turns out Kit, Mick, and Lou were more alike in their youth than we thought. While Kit eventually chose to follow the law (well, mostly), Mick and Lou seemed to take a different path. Just how troubled was Kit’s past? All will be revealed in these crucial scenes.
2. Kit, Lou, and Mick’s Friendship Finally Explored
It might be hard to believe now, but there was once a time when Mick, Lou, and Kit were inseparable friends. According to actor Jacob Roberts, Kit still feels responsible for keeping Mick out of trouble — something rooted in their shared history.
The flashback episode aims to show the beginnings of their bond, as well as the reason why they eventually went their separate ways. What broke their friendship? And why does Kit still feel protective?
3. Buried Secrets Come to Light
This episode promises some major revelations. A life-changing event in their teens shaped Kit, Mick, and Lou into who they are today. Though they’ve tried to move on, the scars remain.
It’s not clear exactly what happened yet, but what we do know is this: Mick holds something over Kit. The trio share a memory they’ve never fully escaped. But what is Kit so desperate to forget?
4. Paternity Bombshell in the Making
Aside from the emotional flashbacks, this storyline is laying the groundwork for a jaw-dropping paternity twist. As Kit starts to reflect on the past, he begins to wonder if he, not Mick, could be the real father of Brody — the troubled teen who’s been giving Dylan a hard time in the STC.
Mick believes Brody is his son with Lou. But could Kit be Brody’s biological father?
Jacob Roberts recently told Entertainment Daily!:
“Kit obviously knows that Brody’s just come out of the STC. And, I don’t think you can change a lad. I think the damage has already been done. So, if he is his, it’s going to be a shock to him.”
“Although, I don’t think he thinks anything will change. He thinks Mick’s his dad, I’ve got nothing to do with this kid even if it is his blood… He’s not ready for a kid, he’s not ready for a baby, so how can he be ready for a 16-year-old lad who has already learnt off his dad Mick?”
