Overview
- Jacob Roberts, who plays detective Kit Green, is 6ft 4in, a height the show nods to with David Platt calling him the “Jolly Green Giant.”
- Roberts said in 2024 that crew raised the top of the Rovers Return bar during his scenes so his head did not sit awkwardly above the set.
- Viewers on Coronation Street Facebook groups said they were surprised by his stature and noted he often sits when speaking to Sarah Platt to soften the height gap.
- Since joining in 2024, Kit’s key plots have included learning he has a son and surviving a stabbing, which cemented his prominence on the cobbles.
- In current episodes, Kit is leading the Theo Silverton murder investigation with suspects including Todd Grimshaw, Christina Boyd, George Shuttleworth, Summer Spellman, Gary Windass and Danielle Silverton.
