Coronation Street finally confirms if Kit is really Brody’s dad
Kit Green (Jacob Roberts) was thrown when he discovered Brody Michaelis (Ryan Mulvey) might be his son in Coronation Street recently. When he learned that Lou (Farrel Hegarty) and Mick (Joe Layton)’s boy was 16 years old, he realised the dates fitted the time when Mick was in prison – and Kit and Lou had a fling together.
Lou, however, has been denying that Brody is Kit’s son. This has left Kit unsure about where he stands, although we’ve seen his behaviour towards Brody reflecting the fact that there’s part of him that really believes he could be Brody’s dad.
He’s let him off with a warning after catching him stealing, and when he found Brody having an epileptic seizure Kit took care of him and stayed with him at the hospital until Lou arrived.
Bernie (Jane Hazlegrove) quickly warmed to the idea that she could be Brody’s granny and urged Kit to do a DNA test to confirm whether this was really the case. She even ‘borrowed’ Brody’s cap while he was in hospital to get some hairs off it for testing purposes.
DNA duly dispatched, Kit is about to get the answer he’s been waiting for – and it will change his world forever.
Brody is causing trouble again on the Street when Aadi (Adam Hussain) throws a midsummer-themed party at number 7, and Brody decides there’s money to be made supplying LSD to Weatherfield’s youth.
Aadi kicks Brody out after seeing him with the drugs, but he doesn’t go quietly and there’s a fight. Then, with Brody gone, Aadi, Summer (Harriet Bibby) and Nina (Mollie Gallagher) prepare to take the LSD. Aadi, however, is distracted and when he comes back someone else has taken his share.
With all of this going on at number 7, elsewhere Kit has had the DNA results. Bernie is desperate to find out whether she really is Brody’s granny – and Kit confirms she is. He’s the boy’s dad.
The father/son bond is about to be put to the test, though, when Kit receives a report of illegal drugs being circulated at the party – and the person who took Aadi’s share of the LSD is now in a deteriorating condition.
Kit questions Aadi about what went on at the party. Will he drop Brody in it by explaining that he supplied the drugs?
And if he does, how will Kit’s newly-discovered relationship with Brody affect how he handles the situation?
