Harry Platt (Joshua Leavy) is having a tough time in Coronation Street after his mum Sarah Platt's (Tina O'Brien) imprisonment. The Platt family were stunned when Sarah was charged with the murder of Theo Silverton last month, and even more so when she confessed. Sarah's stay in prison has caused upheaval for Harry, who has been living with sister Bethany Platt (Lucy Fallon) as his primary caretaker.
Kit Green's role as step-dad
Despite his recent breakup with Sarah, Kit Green (Jacob Roberts) agreed to continue living at the flat to provide Harry with stability, though this hasn't gone to plan. Kit has found playing step-dad tough, even with guidance from Adam Barlow (Sam Robertson), and this week his decision to send Harry to Little Big Shotz caused uproar.
Who is Harry's biological dad?
Newer viewers may wonder where Harry's biological dad is. Harry is the son of Sarah Platt and Callum Logan (Sean Ward). Callum appeared in 114 episodes between 2014 and 2015 as Kylie Platt's drug-dealing ex-boyfriend and the biological father of Max Turner. Callum wanted custody of his son by any means necessary, and started a romantic relationship with Sarah as part of his plan. During this time, Sarah fell pregnant with Harry. When Max discovered a gun in Callum's flat, Sarah ended things with him.
What happened to Callum Logan?
Callum was killed off in the 2015 live episode, with Kylie hitting him over the head with a wrench to save Sarah, who Callum was attacking. Kylie and David hid his body beneath Gail Platt's annex, but it was found eight months later after Tyrone Dobbs (Alan Halsall) crashed his truck into the annex, causing structural damage. Six months after Callum's death, Sarah gave birth to Harry.
Callum isn't spoken about often on the show these days, but Sarah did open up about Harry's parentage to Dee-Dee Bailey in 2024, when Dee-Dee was facing her own pregnancy decision. After falling pregnant by abuser Joel Deering, Dee-Dee confided in Sarah that she was worried she would see him every time she looked at her baby. Explaining what she had been through with Callum, Sarah revealed that she barely thought about him, because she was so focused on how much she loved her son.
