Viewers have already suspected he is the biological father of troublesome Brody Michaelis (Ryan Mulvey).
Writing online, fans have speculated another shock paternity twist for Kit - and it could tie into a "forgotten" mystery.
One person penned on Reddit: "The DNA test hasn't been taken yet but I think Kit has already been confirmed to be the father of Brody.
"Was he missing tonight bc he was taking the test?
"How long will he have to wait for the results?"
The online user then turned their attention to Betsy Swain (Sydney Martin) - the daughter of Kit's police colleague Lisa Swain (Vicky Myers).
They added: "Betsy's father/ the donor was brought up tonight. I know he was used as a lie, but it got me thinking.
"Betsy is likely 17 now, so maybe in around a year, she'll want to learn more about him.
"He's probably just a stranger, but if he were someone on the street, who could it be?
"Kit would probably be the most likely guess, but he would've been 13/14 when Becky got pregnant.

"Also, that would potentially make Brody her half- brother."
Another fan disagreed, writing: "I don't think a 13/14 year old would be allowed to donate sperm so Kit being Betsy's dad seems highly unlikely."
A third shared: "Steve or David are more likely than Kit."
While a fourth remarked: "Why are people so obsessed with who Betsy's father is? He's just a sperm donor most likely a randomer wanting to earn some money like Lisa said."
Betsy is the biological daughter of Lisa's late wife, Becky Swain - who died in 2021.
History of the Coronation Street set
By Jake Penkethman, TV Reporter
1960-1968 - Whilst the Coronation Street set remained on Quay Street for 53 years, it actually had three separate studio sites. The first was an entirely indoor wooden set which was used for the first eight years of filming. This encompassed a replica of the Street built entirely indoors. The set was known to be awkward for actors to use and the houses brought to three quarter scale.
1968-1982 - In 1968, the addition of an outdoor set was created to adjoin the existing indoor set which was still used for filming right up until 1982. The set was used only when required with many of the show's cast reportedly hating it and describing it as 'the coldest place on Earth'.
1982-2013 - A brand new set was officially constructed in 1982 and was almost built fully to scale but still only permitted for one car to drive down the cobbled street. The house were purpose-built using reclaimed Salford brick in order to give it the most authentic feel possible. During these years, some of the show's buildings were adapted to allow for both interior and exterior filming at the same time. These locations included Elliott's Butchers, Barlow's Buys, Prima Doner and Webster's Autos. The final scenes to be recorded on this site occurred in December 2013. By early 2014, it began operating as a tourist attraction for around two years before ultimately being demolished and re-purposed in 2017.
2014-present - In early 2014, the show's set moved to the TV hub of the North - MediaCityUK in nearby Salford Quays. It is now located a stone's throw from major TV studio Dock 10 as well as the BBC's base in the North - home to Blue Peter, Newsround, BBC Breakfast and BBC Sport. The new set was even bigger and built to 9/10 the scale of a real street and allowed for two card to be travelling down the road at opposite sides for the very first time. The site has even undergone major expansions during its 10 years. Just four years after opening in 2018, a brand new set extension was unveiled which introduced viewers to Victoria Gardens for the first time in its history. The Weatherfield North tram stop also became visible as did a series of shops which became used as part of product placement advertising deals. Brands to have been seen on the Street so far include a Co-Op, a Costa Coffee and a branch of Hay's Travel. Four years later in 2022, another brand new set was unveiled, this time being the heavily mentioned Weatherfield Precinct. It became the first time in 62 years that the area had ever been seen on screens. It fearued a variety of shop fronts, a playground and a number of small flats which have begun to house more and more residents on the street in recent months.
Since arriving in Coronation Street, she had a short-lived bond with reformed bully Mason Radcliffe (Luca Toolan).
Although this ended in tragedy when Mason was killed off at the start of the year.
Betsy has also adjusted to life with her mum's new partner, Carla Connor (Alison King).
Coronation Street airs on ITV1 and ITVX.

Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 2 Helen Flanagan has slashed more than £300,000 off the price of the house she shared with ex Scott Sinclair Credit: Instagram 2 Helen was with Bristol Rovers winger Scott for 13 years Credit: Instagram But the detached, 5,000sq ft home — where she lived with footballer Scott, 36, before their break-up in 2022 — is now on offer for £1,195,000. The couple, who have three children together, bought the property at Belmont, near Bolton, in June 2021 for £840,000. It has five reception rooms, six bathrooms and six bedrooms including two en-suites. The house is situated on the edge of moors and is said to have 'breathtaking views'. Helen, who was with Bristol Rovers winger Scott for 13 years, was photographed at Royal Ascot this week. In January, she received a six-month driving ban after her Audi Q7 was caught speeding twice in 16 days — at 42mph in a 30 zone then 51mph in a 40. She was also fined £2,000 at Wirral magistrates court. This week, Helen confidently clapped back at mum-shamers after being brutally trolled for posing in sexy lingerie. Just days after the 34-year-old actress posed in a sheer corset, thong, fishnet stockings and suspenders, the mum-of-three has now responded to haters who slammed her as "embarrassing." The newly-single and self-proclaimed 'sexy boss b**ch' found herself at the centre of a barrage of abuse from trolls, slamming her for sharing revealing pictures considering she's got three children.
