Kit’s Major Plan To Entrap Costello | Coronation Street

Coronation Street is once again turning up the drama, and this time, all eyes are on Kit Green. The determined detective is walking a dangerous tightrope between justice

and deception after a tense showdown with Di Costello that has left viewers buzzing with theories. What started as a seemingly simple bribe could very well explode

into one of the street’s most shocking corruption scandals yet.

During Friday’s gripping episode, audiences watched as Di Costello, ever the manipulative power player, made a bold move — offering Kit what appeared to be a bribe to make him drop his ongoing investigation into Becky Swain’s mysterious disappearance. For months, Kit has been obsessed with uncovering the truth about Becky’s alleged “staged death,” convinced that something far darker lurks beneath the surface of her final case as a police officer.

Despite Costello’s repeated efforts to silence him, Kit has proven relentless. His dogged pursuit of justice has earned him both admiration and enemies, and this latest encounter suggests he’s now closer than ever to exposing the truth. But the tension between Kit and Costello took a new turn when the veteran officer offered what looked like a payoff — a move that left fans questioning whether Kit might finally be compromising his morals.

Carla and Lisa Step Into the Fire

While Kit fought his own battles, elsewhere on the cobbles, Carla Connor’s patience finally snapped. Fed up with her fiancée Lisa Swain’s ex, Becky, for failing to stay in hiding, Carla confronted her directly. Becky’s supposed death had been a carefully crafted ruse meant to protect her, yet she’s now brazenly walking the streets of Weatherfield — a decision that could blow everything wide open.

Carla’s fury boiled over, leading to an intense face-off with both Becky and Lisa. Later, still unsatisfied, she sought out Kit to express her growing fears. She warned him that Becky’s presence could pose a real threat to her family and made it clear she didn’t buy into Becky and Costello’s version of events.

At first, Kit challenged Carla’s suspicions, but it wasn’t long before he admitted he shared her doubts. In a pivotal moment, he revealed that there might be someone who holds the key to unraveling the mystery — someone he intended to contact soon. But unbeknownst to both of them, Costello had been eavesdropping the entire time.

Costello’s Countermove

Realizing that Kit was getting dangerously close to the truth, Costello decided to shift tactics. Instead of threats, he dangled temptation. Approaching Kit with a new offer, he hinted that a promotion to Detective Sergeant could soon be his — as long as he stopped asking inconvenient questions.

On the surface, Kit appeared to take the bait. He told Costello he’d been thinking about his career and seemed eager to move up the ranks. But longtime viewers know Kit better than that. His calculating demeanor and measured responses suggested he was playing a deeper game. Could it be that Kit is pretending to cooperate — luring Costello into a trap to expose his corruption once and for all?

Social media lit up with speculation immediately after the episode aired. One fan on X (formerly Twitter) posted, “Kit knows exactly what Costello’s up to and is playing along so he can take him down.” Another viewer wrote, “I really hope Kit sees this as proof that Costello’s as corrupt as he thinks and keeps digging.” A third fan added, “He’s too smart to fall for Costello’s tricks. If he’s playing along, it’s because he’s about to bring the whole operation crashing down.”

Whatever the truth, one thing is certain: Kit’s next move could make or break his career — and possibly his life.

The Street’s Other Storms: Heartbreak, Secrets, and Scandal

While Kit and Costello’s battle for justice unfolds, the rest of Weatherfield isn’t short on drama. Next week promises a whirlwind of emotion as several familiar faces face crises of their own.

Kevin Webster finds himself reeling from heartbreak following his split with Abby. Debbie Webster, ever the voice of reason, steps in to offer her brother some much-needed advice. But Abby’s world is crumbling. Terrified that her secret fling with Carl is about to come to light, she sends a desperate message — only to accidentally text Kevin instead of her lover. Now, time is running out before her mistake is exposed.

Meanwhile, Dev Alahan’s world is turned upside down when he receives a devastating phone call: his daughter Asha has been found unconscious on a bench in Victoria Gardens. Panicked, Dev rushes to the scene as paramedics fight to save her life.

Asha’s recent struggles have been well documented — from being racially abused on the job to enduring a physical assault that left her emotionally shattered. In upcoming scenes, viewers will see her reach her breaking point, downing a bottle of wine before heading out alone into the night. When she’s discovered in Victoria Gardens, questions swirl about whether Asha might have tried to end her own life. The emotional fallout will be heartbreaking to watch as Dev grapples with the possibility that he missed the warning signs.

A Blast from the Past for Tim Metcalfe

Elsewhere, Sally Metcalfe is blindsided when she discovers her husband Tim has been exchanging messages with Trisha Pinkerton — a woman from his youth who suddenly reappears on the cobbles. Though Tim insists their connection is innocent, Sally can’t shake her suspicions. The tension escalates when Trisha turns up at the Rovers and later at the cab office, where Sally catches the pair mid-conversation.

The confrontation that follows is pure Coronation Street drama: Sally makes her position clear, reminding Trisha that she is Tim’s wife and will not tolerate any funny business. But the situation takes an unexpected turn when Tim later confides in Brian Packham, revealing that he was just 14 when he and Trisha first dated — while she was nearly 20. The revelation leaves Brian stunned and raises troubling questions about Tim’s past.

Fans will also recognize Trisha’s actress, Anita Booth, who returns to the show after her previous role as Nadine back in 2012. Her comeback promises to stir up long-buried emotions — and possibly destroy Tim and Sally’s marriage for good.

The Cobbles Never Sleep

As the week unfolds, the tension in Weatherfield reaches a fever pitch. Between Kit’s secret plan to entrap Costello, Asha’s health crisis, Abby’s dangerous mistake, and Tim’s unsettling past, it’s clear that no one on Coronation Street is safe from scandal.

Will Kit’s dangerous game expose Costello’s corruption once and for all — or will he fall victim to the very web of deceit he’s trying to untangle?

One thing is certain: in Coronation Street, the truth always finds a way to surface — and when it does, it leaves devastation in its wake.
