Kit Green has a plan for Gary Windass on Coronation Street – but it’s not what you might be expecting.
With Kit finding out his partner Sarah Platt is Theo Silverton’s real killer, he has a decision to make. The detective could put his own career on the line to try to save Sarah from prison – but what about Gary, who helped Sarah cover up the crime?
Amid recent hints that Kit would throw Gary under the bus and could frame him for the crime, Kit actor Jacob Roberts has now had his own say. Teasing Jacob may actually try to help Gary, Kit spilled on what was ahead…
How does Kit feel finding out Sarah killed Theo?
He was incredibly shocked, mostly because he’s just been lied to for all this time. As soon as Sarah found the ring, it completely delayed his plan and put a massive dampener on things. I think Kit always suspected she and Gary had something to do with it and he was actively defending her based on that suspicion. But he never, ever expected it to actually be her who did it. He’s just reeling from the fact that it was her all along.
How compromised does Kit feel now that he knows the truth and how far do you think he’d go to protect her?
He will protect her as much as he can, but Kit is ultimately going to protect himself first. He suddenly realises he’s been living with a murderer right under his nose. He isn’t going to be totally selfless here – he will only protect her as long as his own career is safe. His perspective is very much: “If you had told me this straight away, I could have done something about it. Now, I’m just left to pick up the pieces.”
His career means a lot to him, but does his relationship mean more?
No, his career means everything to him. The trust between them is massively gone. He isn’t prepared to lose anything because he had absolutely nothing to do with the crime. What Sarah did was wrong. Kit is a loyal guy – he’s loyal to family and the people he cares about – so he’ll do what he can, but this has simply gone too far.
Kit already disliked Gary. What are his feelings towards him now, especially knowing Sarah turned to her ex in her moment of need rather than him?
He feels incredibly betrayed. Kit knows how to cover things up way better than Gary ever could, so he feels like Sarah just picked the wrong person in a moment of panic. Gary should have honestly just called Kit himself.
Is there a part of Kit that understands why she couldn’t come to him because of his job as a police officer?
No, absolutely not. First of all, she should have never been on that roof in the first place with a guy like Theo. But turning to Gary? No. That’s her ex. Going to an ex for advice or help like that is completely out of order and non-negotiable for Kit. He might sympathise a tiny bit because she was panicking, but he doesn’t think it’s justified at all.
How do you think Kit would have reacted if she had phoned him straight away? Would he have protected her?
Absolutely. He’s done stuff like that before. He’s a bit of a dodgy copper, so he knows exactly how the system works. It was self-defence and he could have handled it. The problem now is that it’s much harder to justify because she kept quiet about Theo’s death for so long and in doing so, she has put Kit in serious jeopardy.
Is Kit happy to send an “innocent-ish” man like Gary to prison just to save Sarah?
Ideally, he would try to get them both off. But if it comes down to a direct choice between Sarah and Gary, he is always going to choose Sarah.
Can Kit get his head around why Sarah is so dead-set on protecting Gary? Do you think it makes him doubt their relationship?
It makes him doubt it massively. He’s clever enough to know there’s a lot of history there and that they’ve probably protected each other over the years, but it’s still a huge dint to his pride. He doesn’t think she’s physically cheating on him, but in a way, an emotional affair can be worse. You just don’t go to your ex for help with something this massive. It’s totally out of order.
