Coronation Street actor Joe Layton has given fans a chilling hint of what’s ahead as the deeply buried secrets between Mick and Kit begin to unravel. In a recent interview, Layton hinted that the storm brewing between the two characters is about to explode, with devastating consequences. This week, the soap is set to air a powerful flashback sequence featuring Mick, Lou, and Kit — a moment that promises to shed light on their complicated and painful history.
According to Layton, the betrayal Mick feels after learning the full extent of Kit’s involvement in past events is deeply personal and entirely transformative. Once the truth comes out, Mick’s emotional spiral begins, and it becomes clear that his rage will not be easily contained. Kit, already navigating tense professional and personal circumstances, may now find himself in serious danger — as Mick’s focus shifts toward revenge.
With dark memories resurfacing and emotional wounds being reopened, the storyline is set to take a dramatic turn. Long-time viewers of Coronation Street should brace for a week filled with intensity, as loyalties are shattered and old grudges come back with a vengeance. Mick’s fury is just beginning — and Kit might not be ready for what’s coming.

Mick Michaelis’ mean streak in Coronation Street
Since arriving onto Coronation Street with wife Lou, Mick’s ruffled a few feathers and not in a good way.
He initially started following Chesney around in a silver van, again annoying his new neighbours by blasting music down the ginnel.
He also made Daisy feel really uncomfortable in the pub by making a pass at her despite having a wife.
And now, it’s just been revealed that he knows Kit Green and shares a past with him.
A flashback on Friday (May 16), will delve more into their past. It will reveal a huge secret the trio (Mick, Kit and Lou) shared. Mick has something on Kit… But, what could it be?

Coronation Street star Joe Layton reveals Mick’s ‘k!ller’ intentions towards Kit
With Kit having betrayed Mick in some way, actor Joe Layton has now revealed that Mick wants to ‘k!ll’ Kit, making him his target.
This week, viewers find out that Kit could be Brody Michaelis’ dad and not Mick… and when Mick finds this out, he’s set on ending his old mate.
Speaking to Entertainment Daily! and other media, Joe revealed: “In terms of Kit and Lou, he’s devastated and he lashes out at Lou and then immediately regrets it.
“And then his eyes are on Kit because it’s a different kind of heartbreak but it’s betrayal on both fronts.
“He becomes fixated on Kit and it becomes about rage and finding a channel to outlet these emotions through.”
With Mick having in mind ‘k!lling Kit,’ Joe then teased whether he’d actually go ahead with his plan: “I think he likes to think that he would be able to do that. Not that he would enjoy doing that but he’d back himself to do it if he’s standing over him.
“He’s a man who’s lost everything, and when someone’s lost everything, and they’ve led the life that Mick has led and the stories that we learn about him, that makes someone incredibly dangerous.”
