ITV Coronation Street fans 'work out' real identity of Bernie Winter's son after baby swap twist
Coronation Street fans are speculating that Kit Green might not actually be Bernie Winter's son, and they think they've figured out who he really is. Earlier this year, Bernie (played by Jane Hazlegrove) revealed she has a son named Zodiac, whom she gave up for adoption nearly three decades ago.
She only knew that his name was changed from Zodiac to Christopher Green shortly after his birth. It was later disclosed that he is a detective who recently arrived on the cobbles: Christopher 'Kit' Green.
The truth about him being Bernie's biological son eventually came out, but Kit (Jacob Roberts) wanted nothing to do with her or her family. Meanwhile, Bernie's twins Gemma (Dolly-Rose Campbell) and Paul (Peter Ash) are oblivious to the fact they have another sibling.
Additionally, Kit played a role in getting Nathan Curtis (Christopher Harper) imprisoned for the murder of Lauren Bolton. As viewers will remember, the troubled young girl went missing earlier this year and is presumed dead.
However, in a shocking turn of events, Kit planted Lauren's DNA in paedophile Nathan's van and framed him. In reality, viewers discovered the truth about Lauren's disappearance: she was brutally killed by corrupt solicitor Joel Deering (Calum Lill), reports the Express.
Now, fans are convinced a surprise baby swap involving Bernie took place years ago, and the beloved resident of the cobbles could be in for quite a shock.
Over on a Corrie Facebook fan page, fans have been sharing their wild theories. One viewer speculated: "I'm wondering if Kit and Joel were mixed up after birth and Joel is Bernie's other child and Kit is letting Bernie's think it's him could be housemates."
Another chimed in with: "It's not so far-fetched. I read somewhere else that Kit and Joel are twins. Apparently Bernie was so traumatised she didn't remember she had two babies when she gave them up."
A reference to a similar storyline was made as someone noted: "I think something similar happened to Kat in eastenders," while another was clearly shocked, penning: "Wow! " complete with a mind-blown emoji, and yet another added: "You never know with Corrie."
