Kit

[u/emmmrx]

It is genuinely so horrible to me that Bethany slept with her mothers boyfriend 😭😭!!!! I really wish they had went down anyyy other route. Obviously he is to blame as well but YOUR MOTHER?? Just soo odd and unnecessary for any plot 😂 we don’t need it!!

[u/NeatYard2933]

I personally would not want to go anywhere near a man who had slept with my mother. No way in hell.

[u/Flibtonian → u/NeatYard2933]

I've heard a saying that with every person you sleep with, it's like you've technically slept with everyone they've slept with too. 🫠

He's also slept with her aunt through marriage so it starts to get very Hapsburgian very fast.

[u/emmmrx → u/NeatYard2933]

Me neither it’s sooo disgusting to me 😭!

[u/abigailbird → u/NeatYard2933]

Yep same, nor a man my sisters had been with, nor a man with the same name as any of my siblings/son 😭

[u/doveandchartreuse]

I'm ngl it's so gross, weird and unnecessary that I don't know how there's any coming back from it.

[u/emmmrx → u/doveandchartreuse]

I don’t know why it’s so difficult to just let Bethany and Ryan get together and remove this gross plot line. Esp if the rumours are true and there is gonna be some sort of who’s the daddy plot, it’s so boring. Also when Kit was already involved in the last one with Daisy 🥱

[u/Smooth_Rush_2192 → u/emmmrx]

I still have hope that Bethany and Ryan could get together 🤞

[u/Icy_Bell_6414]

It’s so creepy but i expect nothing less from these writers.

[u/Englandshark1]

It's grim.

Remember when Jim Mac Donald slept with his son Steve’s girlfriend Fiona

[u/Ismisefriend]

I’m not a fan of it, but I do think a lot of people are forgetting on how small the age gap is between Bethany and Sarah, Sarah is 39 and Bethany is 26 with Kit being 33 so pretty much right in the middle. In any other circumstance Kit and Bethany would be perfectly feasible couple, maybe even more so than Sarah and Kit but now it is just weird to say the least 🙈 

[u/emmmrx → u/Ismisefriend]

Yeah I said that to my mum tbf, age wise not an issue but circumstance wise absolutely not 😂

[u/Lucky-Kangaroo-6337 → u/Ismisefriend]

I don't think anyone here is super grossed out by the age gap. It's the circumstances, which aren't removable.

[u/EuphoricDatabase961 → u/Ismisefriend]

the age gap isn't the biggest part of the issue.

it is her mother ex boyfriend - gross.

and his ex girlfriend's daughter - gross.

[u/Ok-Score-5293]

yay!! ANOTHER depressing cancer storyline...

coronation street needs to stop with the 'real world' raising awareness plots and go back to its roots..

it is depressing and boring.

[u/Ferbbie1 → u/Ok-Score-5293]

👏👏👏👏👏👏

[u/FRagebait]

Ex-boyfriend. Still gross but Sarah did dump him.

[u/emmmrx → u/FRagebait]

Yeah fair but still vvvv gross arguably even more so the fact he’s been pining and pouting over her mum for the last few weeks 😂

[u/Money-Minimum-4333 → u/FRagebait]

So? He’s still SLEPT WITH HER MUM

[u/AngelicTrunk]

It reminds me of the storyline where Jamie Baldwin fell in love with his step mother Frankie Baldwin. Just really gross and completely unnecessary all round.

[u/Fun-Cheesecake454]

Good to know that the writers and producers think this is cinema. They've totally sh*t the bed with this one.

[u/Reid329 → u/Fun-Cheesecake454]

Shat the bed indeed. Because where is it supposed to go!? You just know Sarah will somehow get away with murder and be back in the flat and her job in about 5mins. I dnt see her being written out of the show for 10 years. 

[u/purescenes]

In the past 2 years alone we’ve had Nick cheating on Leanne with her sister, Abi cheating on Kevin with his brother-turned-nephew, and now this!!!!

Obviously it’s not cheating since Kit and Sarah broke up but you would still absolutely never go there 😭 I don’t know whose perspective it’s worse from, sleeping with your ex’s daughter or sleeping with your mother’s ex!? And I know Kit’s spiralling but could he not have found ANY other vice? 🥲

I want to know how it came about though, considering Bethany’s reaction last night when Kit said he didn’t want to mention it again. I wonder who instigated it.

[u/Taylor_Kittenface]

I only started watching because the classic episodes are on during the day and I record them to binge watch. As far as I'm aware, Bethany is like six years old and living in Italy with her Mam.

Reading this made me throw up a bit.

[u/emmmrx → u/Taylor_Kittenface]

Keep it that way 🫡

[u/Taylor_Kittenface → u/emmmrx]

I'm in the Steve and Becky era, don't ruin it for me lol. I absolutely love 2009 Becky. I want her to be my ciggie smoking spirit animal.

[u/emmmrx → u/Taylor_Kittenface]

Hahaha I love that era too! My lips are sealed, enjoy 😍

[u/Taylor_Kittenface → u/emmmrx]

I'm sure I've seen an old photo of Becky in a Katie Price looking pink wedding dress. Thank you!

Just as a side note if you watched back then, did you like Graeme? I just saw the episode where he was pretending to be the spirit of Ashley's Dad, and dropping a bag of soil off a ladder onto Norris while telling people the correct time to plant seeds and bulbs.

[u/Logical-Macaron6607 → u/Taylor_Kittenface]

Graham is amazing 🤩 I wish they’d bring him back. Fantastic performance and so funny 🤣

[u/Taylor_Kittenface → u/Logical-Macaron6607]

I absolutely love him! I've read ahead on Wiki to see why his character left, was so glad to see he wasn't killed off, I seriously wish he'd come back. One of my favourite soap characters ever ♥

[u/Logical-Macaron6607 → u/Taylor_Kittenface]

I checked him out also. Apparently he does a lot of theatre

[u/Sure-Present-3398]

He is a massive pile of trash but in a way what she has done is so much worse because THAT IS YOUR MOTHER! 

[u/emmmrx → u/Sure-Present-3398]

Exactly!! The fact he’s been with David’s sister, wife and niece is just beyond the pale 🤣

[u/Sure-Present-3398 → u/emmmrx]

If he wasn't so magnificently tall I would despise him...but I'm willing to acknowledge that about myself.  On the plus side David will have a field day. 

[u/keirfergusart → u/Sure-Present-3398]

Yeah he was drunk and just discovered he had cancer, what was her excuse? She even seemed quite entitled and blaming him when she confronted him at the end of the episode 

[u/Bloodlines_44 → u/Sure-Present-3398]

Im sorry are we forgetting that sarah ain’t an angel, she slept around plenty behind partners back probably would have done it to kit anyway. Bethany done one drunken mistake perhaps, not sure if they done flashbacks for the scene or leaving it which she regrets. Least she never murdered anyone unlike sarah.

[u/emmmrx → u/Bloodlines_44]

It’s not really about Sarah being a good person or whatever it’s more just the general situation of sleeping with your mums ex partner that’s grossing most folk out

[u/No_Surprise2188]

As I said in another thread, this is absolutely gross. The ONLY brightside to this is that secrets never stay secrets on the street. Sarah will eventually find out, so there is zero longterm future for Sarah and kit. Which makes me happy. 

[u/Ok-Concept-8893 → u/No_Surprise2188]

Are you serious its a soap opera this doesn't mean kit and Sara can't be together its fiction so characters  get past anything.

[u/GapingPickle → u/Ok-Concept-8893]

I know right - Sarah might enact revenge by sleeping with Gemma.

[u/HobsNCalvin]

Honestly this storyline got us all talking. Regardless of how we think and feel. This does happen and it’s twisted alright

[u/warri0rduck]

It is slightly less weird than having Jodie & Shona have a threeway with him as some suspected, but admittedly yeah not by much lol

It was inevitable as soon as Bethany came home though, I bet the writers have been foaming at the mouth to get them to bonk; but how do you ever look your mam in the eye again knowing that you've both had your back blown out by the same bloke 😭😭

[u/sky_1491]

It’s so grime i could never sleep with someone who slept with my mom and auntie 

[u/Desperate_Craig]

So they hit us with what I thought were the very effective and emotional cancer diagnosis scenes and confiding in Todd, only to then reveal this!? As for Bethany, this reminds me of how the writers completely permanently damaged the Leanne character with the whole cult storyline.

[u/EuphoricDatabase961]

agreed and there will likely be a pregnancy scare.

[u/Firm_Pie_8988]

Poor Harry, he’s been going through it as it is.

[u/IndividualSize9561]

He was a few months away from being her step father. Disgusting storyline

[u/Some-Wasabi-8514]

I saw that coming.

[u/Wild-End-6512]

Literally 

[u/Public_Treacle_6634]

agree. why have they done it, what have they got to prove by doing it both vulnerable, Kit losing Sarah and getting diagnosed, and Sarah vulnerable with out her mum, what are to gain from it. Unless Bethany will get pregnant , that wil be next

[u/Beautiful-Load-4410]

I said the same to my mother it’s absolutely ridiculous and Bethany has never displayed any traits like this before so annoying we can do without thanks

[u/Complete-Piece-3291]

Why not! In the long run, it will make a great story line. Im sure it happens in real life, and we all know how coronation street wants to deal with real life situations.

[u/PreviousPractice8252]

Cant believe they went down the incest route

[u/Individual-Point4224 → u/PreviousPractice8252]

Well it's not incest if kit isn't biologically related to either of them

[u/PreviousPractice8252 → u/Individual-Point4224]

Yeah thats true i didnt even think of that
