DS Lisa Swain’s (Vicky Myers) suspicions of Kit Green (Jacob Roberts) continue to grow in Coronation Street this week when she appears to catch him up to no good.
There has always been somewhat of a rivalry between the detectives, but things grew more serious after Lisa learnt that Kit had requested access to files related to Becky Swain, Lisa’s late wife.
Becky had been under investigation for corruption before she was killed in a hit and run while on duty, and Lisa has been determined to get to the bottom of what really happened.
It would appear that she isn’t the only one, as her recent attempt to snoop through DI Costello’s emails led her to discover Kit’s sudden interest.
She furiously confronted him and made it clear that she didn’t trust him, and as the new video shows, things are still tense between them.
As Kit takes a phone call in their shared office, Lisa questions if it was a personal call, which leaves Kit defensive.
He insists that as they’re sharing the space they must keep things professional, something Lisa insists she is very good at.
However, being professional doesn’t mean ignoring her instincts, so as soon as Kit leaves the room Lisa puts her detective skills to good use.
Eager to know what Kit had written down during his private call, Lisa picks up a pencil and scribbles over the post-it note that is now at the top of the pad.
As she suspected, the scribble highlights the indentation of what Kit had written on the sheet above – though Lisa is clearly shocked by what she has found.
Kit had written down Costello’s name, followed by a phone number.
What is he up to, and has Lisa caught him in the middle of something really dodgy?
There are further shocks in store for the detective when Costello later pulls her aside and warns her to keep her relationship with DC Green strictly professional.
As he admits he doesn’t want her to be dragged down with him, how will she react?
Later in the week, Kit confides in Sarah Platt (Tina O’Brien) the real reason he’d requested Becky’s files.
He explains that he had been working on a case that he realised was linked to an historic case Becky had been working on, but when he requested the files Costello had warned him off, instructing him to leave it well alone.
Of course, Kit wasn’t prepared to do that, and admits to Sarah that he has been working on the case in secret.
Could this be what his phone call is about? If so, is Costello somehow involved? Is that why he’s tried so hard to keep Lisa and Kit from looking any further into Becky’s murder?
When Lisa was previously caught going through his emails for whatever information she could find on Becky, he had assured her that there was nothing to find because the corruption case against her had been dropped.
But was he telling the truth, or could Kit, and now Lisa, be on track to digging up something dodgy about their boss?
