In the latest series of spoilers, the character that makes the audience freeze is Kit Green – who just had a “frozen” moment after discovering something related to DI Costello.

And that moment is not the kind of gentle surprise, but the kind that makes a person slow down and understand: “If I say this, I may not be safe anymore.”

The scene of Kit flipping through the documents, then his face turning white creates the feeling that the secret is heavy enough to erase the reputation of an entire force.

Spoiler said this is an “unexpected Costello discovery” – a discovery that no one expected, no one was allowed to know, and could be directly related to faked death, disappearance, or even an act of erasing records.

The most formidable thing is Costello’s reaction. In one trailer, Kit confronts him, saying only, “Do you think this will stay buried?” Costello replies coldly, “There are things you shouldn’t dig into.” There’s no clearer threat.

From here, the audience begins to connect the dots:

Becky returns with a vague story about why she disappeared.

Another character disappears shortly after touching the case.

Costello is rumored to know more than he’s saying.

And now Kit is panicking because he has the truth in his hands.

Kit, who has always tried to keep things honest, now has to consider: speaking out is dangerous, keeping quiet is a betrayal of conscience. And in movies, characters like Kit are often the first target of “unexpected accidents”.

The final trailer also shows a scene of Kit sitting alone in a car, the light is dim, his hands are shaking slightly, while a strange car appears at the end of the road. That alone is enough to make viewers hold their breath.

The drama here is no longer about love or misunderstanding. It’s about wits, power, concealment and trade-offs. And Costello seems to be at the heart of it all.

When the secret explodes – if Kit lives to tell – Weatherfield could be in for its biggest scandal in years.
