Watchers watched Beth Tinker (Lisa George) on a mission in Monday’s Coronation Street episode after learning Sid was selling their fake t-shirts and keeping the money for himself.
When Kit Green (Jacob Roberts) approached the dubious businessman and gave him a sizable bundle of cash, she was shocked.
She then went up to Kit in the street and decided to take pictures of the whole thing. He pretended not to know until she showed him the footage.
Eventually, she demanded £400 by the next day in exchange for deleting the footage. However, it appeared Kit had a scheme to outsmart Beth, involving her son confessing his darkest secret.
Later, Kit admitted to PC Tinker (Colson Smith) that he’d compromised himself professionally. Despite expressing doubts about his suitability for the police force, Craig tried to reassure him.
Unbeknownst to him, Kit was attempting to extract information from him, aware of his past misdeeds.
Manipulating his feelings, Kit suggested that only fellow officers could understand their predicament, hoping to coax Craig into revealing his dark secret.
Coronation Street fans will recall that PC Tinker once assisted ex-Faye Windass (Ellie Leach) and Emma Brooker (Alexandra Mardell) in covering up the murder of an elderly man, a secret he’s kept to himself.
As Kit cozies up to Craig, soap fans speculated on whether he’ll be conned into spilling secrets, leaving viewers on Twitter fretting for both Beth and Craig’s fates.
Fans rushed to share their thoughts on social media about the worrying turn of events. One asked, “Beth blackmailing Kit which could end badly..”
Another voiced their concerns, tweeting, “Clueless Beth is out of her depth with Kit.”
A third warned with a tweet reading, “#Corrie kit digging a hole for Beth’s body…”
Meanwhile, one soap watcher expressed dread, posting, “Think he’s gonna bump off Beth he’s dodgy!!”
