Coronation Street fans are convinced another dramatic twist is looming after Kit Green finally discovered Bethany Platt is expecting a baby. The police officer (Jacob Roberts), who is currently receiving chemotherapy following a breast cancer diagnosis, made the revelation less than 24 hours after getting back together with Sarah Platt (Tina O'Brien).
Kit learns about Bethany's pregnancy
Earlier this year, Kit ended his relationship with the imprisoned Sarah due to concerns about how it might affect his career in the police force, and subsequently spent a passionate night with her daughter Bethany. They were unaware that while discussing their encounter the next day, Jodie Ramsey (Olivia Frances Brown) was listening in and later attempted to blackmail Bethany into silence about her other wrongdoings, but after accidentally shooting herself, she left Weatherfield.
During Sarah's court proceedings, Bethany took a pregnancy test and was shocked to discover it was positive. After her release, Sarah soon found out, although she believes the father is Ryan Connor (Ryan Prescott).
Fans suspect a twist
Earlier this week, Bethany arrived back at the Redbank Apartments to find her mum and Kit on the sofa kissing after declaring their feelings for each other. To avoid any awkwardness, she smiled and offered her congratulations to them both.
During Wednesday's (November 11) episode, Ryan offered to go with Bethany to the hospital for her scan while Sarah was unavailable. She had no clue where her mum had disappeared to, but it quickly became apparent. After Kit fainted, Sarah insisted on accompanying him to the hospital for examination.
They were walking along the corridor and ran into Bethany and Ryan, who were departing from the maternity department. Kit attempted to hide his shock when Sarah disclosed that she was set to become a grandmother, and when she left to fetch the car, he asked directly whether the baby was his. Bethany admitted it, though pleaded with him not to mention anything for fear of distressing Sarah, but fans are convinced that Kit may not be the father of the unborn child.
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."
What's next for the couple
However, someone else was quick to point out that Ryan and Bethany are yet to spend the night together. Later, back at the flat, Sarah asked Kit to move back in permanently so that they could be a happy family. Bethany smiled towards them both, knowing that 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 some designer baby clothes next week and tells her they're 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.
