In the ever-twisting world of Coronation Street, redemption is rarely straightforward—and loyalty is often fleeting. Just when fans thought Kit Green

had finally chosen the right side, a sobering warning from the actor behind the badge has cast a long shadow over the future. According to Jacob Roberts,

who plays the morally ambiguous officer, Kit’s apparent heroics may be nothing more than a temporary truce. And for Lisa Swain, that realization could prove devastating.

Kit has recently found himself unexpectedly aligned with the so-called “Swirl” camp, following the explosive Corydale crossover that pushed several characters to their limits. Viewers watched in disbelief as Kit raced against time to rescue Carla Connor from a locked shipping container—where Becky Swain had cruelly imprisoned her—before the situation spiraled into chaos amid the fallout of a multi-car road crash. It was a moment that seemed to signal a turning point: Kit doing the right thing for once, not out of self-interest, but because it mattered.

With Becky finally removed from the equation, fans dared to hope that Kit’s actions might earn him a place—however tentative—in Lisa Swain’s good books. After all, saving Carla wasn’t just an act of bravery; it was a decision that directly benefited Lisa, emotionally and professionally. For a character known more for manipulation than morality, it felt like a rare glimpse of growth.

But according to Jacob Roberts, viewers should be careful not to mistake convenience for conscience.

Speaking candidly on Soap Scoop, the weekly podcast from Inside Soap Magazine, Roberts offered a revealing look behind the scenes of the dramatic storyline—and delivered a chilling assessment of Kit’s true nature. Reflecting on his unexpected on-screen partnership with Carla Connor (played by Ali King), Roberts admitted that the pairing came together almost by accident.

“It was a weird one,” he laughed. “Me and Ali got put together out of nowhere. I don’t think I’d done many scenes with her before that. But we just developed this bond, because we were both working toward something we really wanted.”

That shared purpose—Carla’s determination to survive and expose Becky, and Kit’s single-minded drive to win the case—created an uneasy alliance. On screen, the chemistry felt real: two strong personalities clashing, collaborating, and ultimately respecting one another. And that respect, Roberts suggests, may have extended to Lisa as well.

“I think there’s some respect there now,” he explained. “Maybe there wasn’t before. But I think we sort of respect each other—and I probably respect Lisa a bit more, and she respects me a bit more.”

For fans of the long-teased Carla and Lisa romance, Kit’s intervention seemed almost altruistic. In fact, Roberts acknowledged that Kit actively wants Lisa and Carla to be together—at least for now. “Kit wants Lisa and Carla to be together anyway,” he said. “So I suppose that’ll make the Swirl fans happy.”

Yet beneath that reassuring surface lies a far more troubling truth.

Kit Green, Roberts insists, is not a man transformed. He is a man biding his time.

When asked whether Kit has finally won over skeptical viewers, Roberts was cautious. While saving Carla was undeniably “a good thing,” he warned that Kit’s moral compass remains dangerously flexible. And if Lisa ever finds herself standing between Kit and his ambitions—particularly his desire to climb the ranks of the police force—the consequences could be brutal.

“I feel like he’ll always be dodgy,” Roberts admitted bluntly. “And I think they should always keep him dodgy. I don’t think he’s turned over a new leaf at all.”

The actor’s most shocking revelation, however, came when he addressed the possibility of betrayal head-on. Far from dismissing it, Roberts leaned into the idea with unsettling certainty.

“I think he could stab Lisa in the back straight away if he wanted to,” he said. “And if it helped him. Kit’s a selfish character. So yeah—100 percent, he’d do it.”

For Lisa Swain, who has already endured betrayal, trauma, and professional isolation, the implications are heartbreaking. Trusting Kit—even tentatively—could come at a terrible cost. While their current détente may serve both of their interests, it is built on shaky ground. Kit’s loyalty, it seems, extends only as far as his own advantage.

This revelation recontextualizes the Corydale rescue in a darker light. Was Kit acting out of genuine concern? Or was he simply protecting a case that could bolster his reputation and career? Did he save Carla because it was right—or because it was useful?

Those questions now loom large over every interaction Kit shares with Lisa. Each moment of cooperation, every shared glance of understanding, is suddenly charged with doubt. For viewers, it raises the stakes considerably: the danger is no longer just external villains like Becky, but the quiet threat of betrayal from within.

The tragedy, of course, is that Kit’s duplicity doesn’t make him a villain in the traditional sense. It makes him something far more unsettling: a man who can do the right thing today, and destroy you tomorrow—without blinking—if it serves his goals.

As Coronation Street continues to explore the fallout from the crash and the fragile alliances formed in its wake, Kit Green stands at the center of a moral minefield. His actions have bought him temporary goodwill, but his true test is yet to come. And if Jacob Roberts’ warning is anything to go by, Lisa Swain may soon learn—painfully—that in Weatherfield, salvation and betrayal often wear the same face.

For fans hoping Kit has finally changed, the message is clear: don’t get too comfortable. Because when ambition collides with loyalty, Kit Green has already shown which side he’s likely to choose.
