The ITV soap is going to delve into the dark past of Kit Green in a special flashback episode later this year.

Bosses have been filming scenes from the upcoming episode on location in Manchester this week as the truth about Kit’s past with Weatherfield newcomers Mick and Lou is revealed.

Our exclusive pictures and video shows how the soap has recreated 2008 with three younger actors taking over the roles.

In one dramatic scene, Kit and Mick are chased by police after apparently stealing a bag.

And while one of them gets away, the other is caught but left screaming that he didn’t do anything.

Viewers have watched how Kit has hidden his dark side since arriving in Weatherfield last year.

The police detective has been seen planting evidence on innocent suspects, blackmailing criminals into handing over cash to avoid arrest, and terrorising people who get in his way.

He’s also manipulated Daisy Midgelely into bed and seduced married Shona Platt into a night or two of passion.

Kit Green’s blunder proves he’s a Coronation Street wrong’un

Revealed as the biological son of Bernie Winter, Kit was determined to have nothing to do with her until his brother Paul died with the dying wish that they reunite.

Bernie actress Jane Hazelgrove is also set to film scenes for the flashbacks.

Meanwhile Mick and Lou arrived on the cobbles by immediately causing a host of issues.

They drew in Chesney and Gemma, but it soon became clear that Mick was a wrong un – and was hiding a secret connection to Kit.

Corrie boss Kate Brooks recently teased that connection for Kit to newcomers Mick and Lou.

She said: “We’ve got some great characters coming in. They are Mick and Lou.

“They’re coming to live at the back of Chesney, on Maudsley Street, across the ginnell. They are livewires, they are ruffians, they are going to cause a lot of damage and a lot of chaos.

“There is a link to Chesney initially, but they are coming to stir up a lot of trouble, and open up the floodgates and unpack the past of one of our big characters, which is Kit.

“So, really interesting, wonderful and dynamic stuff that’s going to be fantastic. We’re really excited, they come in with oodles of drama. They are shaking things up.

“They’re neighbours from hell. They’re overfamiliar, likeable and they’ve got kids. Initially they develop a friendship with Chesney and Gemma, but there are other things to unpack.

Coronation Street’s 2024 shock exits

Corrie has said goodbye to several cast members this year. Let’s break down who’s left the famous soap:

Eliza Woodrow (Savannah Kunyo) has said farewell to Corrie to start a new life in Germany.

The youngster moved to live with her dad Dom Everett, who went back on the £10,000 bribe Eliza’s grandfather Stu had offered to keep him out of her life.

Paul Foreman (Peter Ash) will bow out of the soap this summer when he loses his fight with motor neurone disease (MND) in tragic scenes.

After being diagnosed last year, the fan favourite was devastated to learn he only had months left to live.

Viewers know he is planning to take his own life to end his suffering.

Summer Spellman (Harriet Bibby) departed the cobbles after being offered the opportunity of a lifetime to study in America.

Though she struggled to decide with her stepdad Paul’s impending death from MND, she was convinced she had to live her life to the full.

Simon Barlow (Alex Bain) has struggled with the sudden departure of his father Peter from the cobbles.

The Weatherfield legend left his family and loved ones behind on Boxing Day, 2023, when his wife Carla Connor encouraged him to travel around the world with a friend.

Simon’s been on a downward spiral ever since and his exit could end in tragedy.

Alya Nazir is set to leave the cobbles as actress Sair Khan prepares to go on maternity leave ahead of the birth of her first child.

It looks likely she’ll be heading to Dublin after securing a lucrative new job, leaving her colleague and fling Adam Barlow behind.

Show stalwart Sue Cleaver, who plays Eileen Grimshaw, is taking a break to star in the Sister Act The Musical UK tour. She will be back filming in May once her dates on the tour come to an end.

Her character left the Street after her son Jason broke his back after falling off a moped in Asia.

“I wouldn’t want to get on the wrong side of them – especially Mick! They are brilliant actors.

“They are coming to cause some chaos on the street, and they will leave a trail of devastation.”
