Coronation Street<\/a> has cast a major character for a flashback episode, with Joanna Hudson-Fox<\/a> joining the soap as the adoptive mother of Kit Green<\/a>. <\/p>\n

The actor, who previously had a recurring role as a doctor on Emmerdale<\/a> between 2018 and 2024, will reportedly join the fellow ITV soap<\/a> in a guest role for the forthcoming flashback episode<\/a> involving policeman Kit (via The Sun<\/a>). <\/p>\n

According to the report, Hudson-Fox – the wife of former Emmerdale star Liam Fox<\/a> – has signed up to play Kit’s adoptive mother Amanda, with the character said to have a “key role” in the storyline during the episode. <\/p>\n

The special instalment, which was previously announced in March, will see the clock rewound by 17 years as Kit’s relationships with his biological mother, Bernie Winter, and Mick are explored in greater detail.<\/p>\n

Jacob Roberts<\/a>, who debuted as Kit back in May 2024, has teased details of the flashback episode<\/a>, sharing: “I [am] grateful, because I thought that I must be doing something right with the character if they want to get to know him and find out why he is the way he is.<\/p>\n

“I was very excited to read the script and see what happened between these two characters, Mick and Kit. It’s a funny one, because it’s obviously a different life that Kit led back then. He’s changed it around whereas Mick hasn’t, so it was good to find out what happened. <\/p>\n

“It just shows Kit wasn’t so innocent back in the day \u2013 I don’t know if that leaves you\u2026 But there is a past that he doesn’t want to bring up again. I suppose in real life it’s like when you have friends from back in the day and you’d never want them to meet any of your friends from today.<\/p>\n

“You don’t want them to tell the stories of what happened back in the day \u2013 you want to keep those things secret. But also, Mick was Kit’s best mate at 16 and I don’t think that leaves him. He is a bit protective of him at the time.” <\/p>\n

“Kit is not completely open to Bernie playing that mum role, but he’s definitely softening to her because he needs that mother relationship in the Street,” added Roberts about his character’s relationship with Bernie. “He’s really got no-one else.”<\/p>\n

Coronation Street<\/strong> airs on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 8pm on ITV1 and streams on <\/strong>ITVX<\/strong><\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n
