Coronation Street spoilers follow.
Coronation Street‘s Kit Green finally has his suspicions confirmed next week, when a DNA test proves for sure that he is Brody Michaelis’s biological father.
But now he knows for certain, will he tell Brody the truth about his paternity?
“Kit’s head is already spinning about Brody, but it’ll now be harder than ever for him to keep this to himself,” our Corrie insider explains.
“It’s clear he can’t keep his paternal instinct at bay – especially after helping Brody when he was in the midst of an epileptic seizure recently, which led to the pair sharing a bonding moment afterwards.

“And with Brody seemingly unable to keep out of trouble, Kit could feel it’s his job to put him on the right path – after all, Mick isn’t about to step up, is he?”
Kit had a DNA test done behind Lou Michaelis’s back, after she shied away from the possibility that Brody might be Kit’s son, knowing that it would blow her entire family apart.
However, Brody’s seizure led to Bernie getting her hands on the lad’s cap, which had some of his hair in it, allowing Kit to go it alone with the test.
Next week, Kit reveals to Bernie that the DNA results have come through, confirming that Brody is her grandson. Like Kit, she has been trying to keep an eye on the boy, but with mixed results.

However, now that it’s official, both know that the information would pull the rug right out from under Brody, who is volatile enough already. But can Kit really keep it to himself?
“It’s clear that Kit is not coping,” our insider adds. “As well as the revelation about Brody, he is carrying so much guilt from Craig’s tragic death. Kit couldn’t even attend his memorial because Craig was a young man that Kit feels he let down.
“And now in Brody there’s another lad who, if he continues to behave the way he is, could well end up rotting in prison – or worse. Can Kit stand by and let that happen?”
Meanwhile, with Bernie having lost her son Paul so recently, family is very much front of mind for her. Plus, she is prone to making rather rash decisions. Will she be able to sit back without letting her new grandson know who she is?

As Kit later tells Sarah Barlow the results of the test, it seems the secret is starting to spread already. How long before Brody finds out? And how will he react when he does?
Ryan Mulvey, who plays Brody, recently told us: “That’s coming up very soon. I’m really excited for the world to see that.
“Because obviously I think it’s getting [to the point] that every single person knows on the Street except for Brody! So it’s really exciting for that to come out. It’s definitely not a small secret when it comes out.
“I think it’s been bubbling. It’s been boiling – then when he finds out, it kind of just erupts. So filming those scenes with Jacob [Roberts, who plays Kit], it’s just been amazing with the directors and everything.
“When he finally figures out who his dad is, his mind’s blown.”
