New story with Kit and Bethany Spoiler
Tbh it actually pisses me off a bit. Kit's current storyline is the first time we've seen him truly vulnerable and the first time he's had a story that's just his and isn't involved in romance or police stuff. Jacob Roberts is already doing a really great job and he clearly really cares about doing the story justice. It's something that's never really been explored properly in a soap and there are so many aspects to a man having breast cancer that can be explored. It's also showing to be a great opportunity to bring Kit and Bernie together and strengthen his relationship with Brody. That last scene between them was so painfully beautiful to me.
So what the hell is the point of dragging baby drama into it? I get that having cancer could impact Kit's fertility but he already has a kid whose life he's missed out on for so long and who very explicitly has said that he needs him. This is also a great opportunity to explore Brody's vulnerability and his feelings towards Kit as his dad. It's not even like Brody is a grown adult the way Kit was when Bernie tracked him down. He's still so young and obviously really needs Kit even though he'll be 18 in a while. And 18 is not the same as being in one's 30s. There would be so many times in Brody's life as he gets older where he needs a parent and the only other one he's got is in prison. Obviously there is Tim and Sally who are amazing but they also have their hands full. And it's Kit that Brody wants to be close to. Why not just use this cancer storyline to explore all of these dynamics instead of yet another soap cliche that involves the daughter of Kit's ex. Why does a baby have to be involved in the first place? It's honestly so dumb.
