The past 12 months have been filled with drama and plenty of intrigue, as Kit’s past remains a mystery.

But now Coronation Street viewers are going to finally understand why the corrupt cop acts the way he does with a special flashback episode.

On Friday, May 16, viewers will be transported back to 2007 to witness the teenage years of Kit, Mick, and Lou and uncover the truth behind their intertwined past.

Secrets will be revealed, and long-buried traumas will resurface, shedding light on Kit’s motivations and the reason behind his complicated relationships.

Viewers have seen glimpses of the tension between Kit and Mick, with Gary suspecting Kit of covering for Mick.

Now, the reasons behind Kit’s actions will become clear as viewers will see the events that bind them together.

For the special episode, three new actors will play the younger versions of Kit, Mick and Lou.

Speaking on Kit’s special flashback episode, Jacob said: “I was grateful that we’d be delving into Kit’s past to show why he is the way he is.

“He lived a completely different life back then, one he’s worked hard to leave behind, unlike Mick.

“The arrival of Mick and Lou has definitely shaken Kit. He knows they bring trouble, and now, as a Detective Constable, his job is to maintain peace in Weatherfield.

“Kit was very much like Mick and Lou growing up, and they hold that over him so he’s terrified of his past coming back to haunt him.

“It was also quite surreal meeting Brook, the actor playing young Kit – definitely a funny experience to come face-to-face with a younger version of myself!”

Meanwhile, the Coronation Street team went to great lengths to authentically reflect 2007, ensuring accuracy in every detail.

Jason Wingard, Director of the 2007 flashback episode, said: “We had to do a lot of research into what would give away the era – In 2007 there were DVDs in shops and music, cars and phones were all different.
