Coronation Street viewers are convinced that Kit Green may not be the father of Bethany Platt's unborn child, despite his recent discovery of her pregnancy. The police officer, played by Jacob Roberts, learned the news less than 24 hours after reuniting with Sarah Platt (Tina O'Brien).
Kit Learns About Bethany's Pregnancy
Earlier this year, Kit separated from imprisoned Sarah over concerns that their relationship could impact his job, and subsequently shared a night of passion with her daughter Bethany. While they discussed their encounter the following day, Jodie Ramsey (Olivia Frances Brown) overheard and planned to blackmail Bethany, but after accidentally shooting herself, she fled Weatherfield.
During Sarah's trial, Bethany took a pregnancy test and was stunned to discover it was positive. After her release, Sarah learned of the pregnancy but believes the father is Ryan Connor (Ryan Prescott).
Fans Speculate on the Baby's Father
This week, Bethany returned home to the Redbank Apartments and found her mum and Kit on the sofa, having confessed their love for one another. She smiled and congratulated them both. During Wednesday's episode, Ryan offered to accompany Bethany to the hospital for her scan in Sarah's absence. After Kit collapsed, Sarah insisted on accompanying him to the hospital for a checkup.
They encountered Bethany and Ryan leaving the maternity department, and Kit asked outright whether the baby was his. Bethany confessed but begged him not to say anything for fear of upsetting Sarah. However, fans are convinced that Kit may not be the father.
Taking to a Coronation Street Facebook group, one fan posted: "Kit and Bethany slept together nine weeks but she's 12 weeks pregnant?" Another replied: "I think it's Ryan's." A third person said: "It's Ryan's not Kit's."
A fourth said: "I reckon there is going to be a twist and it turns out to be Ryan' baby." However, someone else pointed out that Ryan and Bethany have not yet spent the night together.
What's Next for Bethany and Kit
Later, back at the flat, Sarah asked Kit to move back in permanently so they could be a happy family. Bethany smiled towards them both, knowing it would only be a matter of time before that harmonious environment was ruined.
Coronation Street spoilers have revealed that Kit squirms as Sarah presents Bethany with designer baby clothes next week, telling her they are a gift from her and Kit, the excited grandparents. Coronation Street airs weeknights on ITV1 at 8.30pm and is available to stream from 7am on ITVX.
