Coronation Street fans have predicted a sinister exit storyline for resident Craig Tinker – and it involves Kit Green.
Beloved character Craig (Colson Smith) first shot to fame back in 2011 when he set foot on the famous cobbles aged just 12 years old.
Since then, he’s become a firm favourite and played a part in several big storylines. From becoming a copper to finding himself heartbroken and undergoing a jaw-dropping transformation, Craig’s time on the famous street has not been short of drama.
However, this week, actor Colson confirmed he was leaving the soap after 14 years, and will be bowing out later this year. In a social media post, shared to X and Instagram alongside a picture of himself portraying Craig as a police officer, he announced the news.

“Autumn last year I was told that Craig Tinker’s time on the Cobbles is to come to an end in 2025. I’ve loved every single second of my 14-year stay as a resident on the greatest street in the world,” he revealed.
Colson went on: “I feel incredibly lucky to have grown up in, on and around Coronation Street. I’ve learned pretty much everything about life from the people who call it home. I’m excited to play out the exit story for Our Craigy.”
Fans have ‘worked out’ how he leaves

Now, following the news of Craig’s upcoming exit from Coronation Street, viewers have ‘figured out’ how he leaves the street – and it involves bent copper Kit Green (Jacob Roberts).
Kit made his debut last year as Bernie’s (Jane Hazlegrove) long-lost child. And it didn’t take him long to cause plenty of drama, with viewers able to see his true colours.
Not only did he force Craig’s mum Beth Tinker (Lisa George) out of Weatherfield, but Kit has also proved he is a bent copper, often bending the law when he has to, to suit him.

And viewers are convinced that Kit will play a part in his police colleague Craig’s upcoming exit – with some fearing he could kill Craig off.
On a Coronation Street Facebook fan page, one person said: “I’m sad that they have got rid of Craig. I’ve got a feeling he might start investigating Kit and Kit Kills him or gets him sacked.”
A second penned: “Think he will try and expose Kit and Kit kills him!” A third chimed in: “I am wondering if this might be the way they write Craig out? Have him bring down Kit and either die or move on to another job in another part of the country.” Another agreed: “It’ll probably be Kit that gets rid of him- somehow!”
Coronation Street airs Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 8pm on ITV1 and ITVX
