Coronation Street fans are convinced that Bethany Platt and Kit Green are heading for an affair, with a possible baby twist also on the cards. The speculation follows Kit being dumped by Bethany's mother, Sarah Platt, after her arrest for the murder of Theo Silverton.
Kit and Bethany team up
In recent scenes, Kit has been determined to help get Sarah out of prison, and his hatred of Gary Windass has led him to search for evidence to implicate him. On Wednesday, Bethany was roped into Kit's plans, as she also wants to get her mum out of prison.
With Kit and Bethany teaming up, and actress Lucy Fallon's hints about what's ahead, some fans can't shake the feeling that an affair is on the way. They have wondered if Kit and Bethany will grow closer and end up sleeping together.
Fan theories
Some fans even wondered if it will lead to a baby twist for Bethany. Taking to social media, one fan guessed: "Seeing as Bethany has a big storyline coming up, will it be having an affair with Kit after they bond taking care of Harry?"
Another fan posted: "If Sarah gets out, perhaps both Sarah and Bethany pregnant by Kit." A third fan added: "Is the Bethany/Kit affair a FOR SURE thing or just a rumour?"
A fourth theory commented: "I also think maybe Kit and Bethany will work to get Sarah out of prison and maybe end up sleeping together." A further post read: "Oh the tension between Kit & Bethany?! I am SORRY it is happening!"
One fan said: "I wouldn't be surprised if something happens between Bethany and Kit." As a fan then questioned if "another affair" was being planned, a viewer replied: "I thought to myself exactly this yesterday."
Lucy Fallon's hints
It comes after what Lucy told the Mirror about the future for Bethany, in April. She said: "She does [have a big storyline coming up]. I can't tell you what it is, but it's not going to be great. I don't think people are going to be happy about it.
"This one is low-key her fault. Everyone is going to be like, 'She is a d**k.' Which is fine." But Lucy isn't bothered about taking on controversial storylines on one condition. Lucy says as long as the plot "is good" she's happy to get her teeth stuck into it.
Coronation Street airs weeknights at 8:30pm on ITV1 and ITV X.
