And in today’s episode it has been revealed.
The three were pals as teenagers and while messing around with a shopkeeper, Kit felt aggrieved and took revenge by setting off fireworks in the locked shop after he left.
However the man’s wife was inside and Kit and Mick listened as she screamed in agony at the burns.
Kit fled and Mick was caught and Kit let him take the blame – but now he’s holding it over the cop and threatening to ruin his life and career.
Mick decided to also torment Bernie but let slip a little too much in an effort to bulldoze their relationship too.
But when Bernie walked in and demanded the truth, Kit buckled.
He told her about Mick’s blackmail and how he was going to ruin his life after all this time.
And when Bernie asked what Mick had done – she was shocked that it was Kit who was responsible for the arson that left the shopkeeper with third degreee burns.
He told his biological mum: “I didn’t even know he had a wife. She had these third degree burns and the screaming.
“I should’ve gone down for it. I shouldn’t have been allowed to join the force anyway.

“So I lied, and lied, and lied. Let my best mate take the wrap.”
But that wasn’t the only secret to emerge.
While Mick was locked up for a crime he didn’t commit, Kit compounded the wound by sleeping with his girlfriend Lou.
And worst of all – that resulted in a child who Lou passed off as Mick’s for all these years.
Darkest soap storylines
Over the years the likes of EastEnders, Emmerdale and Coronation Street have all tried to try outdo each other with their outlandish plots in a bid to keep us tuning in each week. But here are some of the darkest that had fans in shock…
- EastEnders: Tony grooming Whitney (2008-2009) – Tony King first appeared in Albert Square in 2008 as the boyfriend of Bianca, played by Patsy Palmer. But it was quickly revealed he was a paedophile who had been grooming vulnerable Whitney, Bianca’s adopted stepdaughter from a previous relationship, since she was 12. The shocking storyline attracted more than 200 complaints within a week of it beginning. Whitney waited until her 16th birthday to reveal the truth to a horrified Bianca, who called the police.
- Emmerdale: Holly’s drug addiction and shock death (2010-2016) – In 2010, Holly Barton (played by Sophie Powles) became Emmerdale’s first teenage drug addict. The shocking storyline saw her taking cocaine on a night out before developing a deadly heroin habit. Parents John and Moira desperately tried to help get their daughter clean but when Holly returned in 2016, following a four-year absence, she quickly relapsed. Fans were left stunned and heartbroken when distraught Moira found Holly dead in her bed from a heroin overdose.
- Hollyoaks: Luke’s rape (2000) – Actor Gary Lucy was just 17 when he took on this groundbreaking storyline, which saw his character Luke Morgan become soap’s first male rape victim. Luke had endured a long-running bullying campaign by football rival Mark Gibbs – who raped him after Luke stood up to him. Luke was left suicidal following the brutal attack, before opening up to his brother Adam. Gibbs was sentenced to eight years in prison. Gary won the Best Actor gong at the British Soap Awards in 2000 for his performance.
- Coronation Street: Evil Richard Hillman (2001-2003) – Just a mere mention of ‘Richard Hillman’ is enough to send a shiver down the spines of soap fans. He is often ranked one of the most evil soap villains and it’s not hard to see why. The smooth-talking financial adviser bashed his ex-wife Patricia over the head with a shovel. In a bid to keep his mother-in-law Audrey quiet, he set fire to her house. And when Maxine caught him trying to murder Emily Bishop, he took a crowbar to her head. He made his exit from the cobbles in 2003 when he drove Gail Platt, played by Helen Worth, and her family into the canal. They survived, but he didn’t.
With Brody released from the STC, Mick and Lou took him to Speed Daal to celebrate where Kit ran into them.
He overheard Brody’s age and realised that he is Brody’s biological father.
But what will Kit do now and how will Mick react to his on not bing his biological son?
