Gary Windass has reached his breaking point — and fans of Coronation Street just watched the start of a powerful new feud that’s going to shake Weatherfield to its core.

In a stunning episode, Gary finally sees Kit Green for what he is: corrupt, compromised, and protecting Mick Michaelis at any cost. And now? It’s personal.

Kit Lets Mick Off the Hook Again

The fury began when Gary and Maria discovered that Mick had locked young Liam in a tool shed, making him miss a vital GCSE exam. Understandably furious, Gary confronted Mick and fired him. But Mick wasn’t finished.

Later, in a dark turn, Mick cornered Gary and landed a punch. Gary, always ready to defend himself, grabbed a nearby bottle — but before the fight could escalate, Kit stepped in.

And instead of arresting Mick for assault? He let him walk.

Gary, stunned, asked, “You’re just gonna let him walk away?” Kit’s smug reply:
“All I saw was me prevent you from making a massive mistake.”

Gary and Maria See the Truth

Back home, Maria couldn’t believe what she’d heard. She encouraged Gary to report Kit for misconduct, but things took another twist: Kit showed up at the salon and revealed that Mick had reported Gary instead — for false imprisonment.

Kit? Refusing to acknowledge the truth. Denying that Gary hit Mick. And threatening to arrest Gary if he went near Mick again.

Gary’s words to Maria hit like a sledgehammer:
“He’s so bent, he’d give a gymnast a run for his money.”

Together, they plan to go to Craig Tinker and figure out who they can report Kit to — but with Craig’s fate now uncertain after recent episodes, who will stand with Gary?

Kit and Mick: Deal with the Devil

While Gary tries to hold things together, viewers were given a haunting look into Kit and Mick’s sick alliance.

At the Bistro, Kit told Mick they were “even.” But Mick wasn’t having it.
“Even? We are far, far away from that.”

It’s now clear that Kit is completely under Mick’s thumb, compromised by secrets that are only just beginning to surface — secrets that could destroy not just Kit’s job, but his life.

Bernie’s Discovery: The Flashback Is Coming

In a quiet but telling moment, Bernie Winter finds a torn-up strip of photographs in Kit’s flat, showing two teenage boys — friends… or maybe more. It’s a setup for this Friday’s highly anticipated flashback episode (May 16), which promises to reveal the dark truth behind Kit and Mick’s history.

What is Mick holding over Kit? What really happened between them? And why is Kit so desperate to protect him — even as his life and reputation unravel?

A War Is Coming

As Coronation Street barrels toward its dramatic climax, the stage is set for a major showdown. Gary Windass — once a criminal, now a man trying to stay clean — is about to take on one of the dirtiest cops in Weatherfield.

But the question is: Will anyone believe him before it’s too late? Or will Kit drag him down in the flames of his own downfall?

💬 Should Gary go public with what he knows about Kit? Or is he putting his entire family in danger by pushing back?
