10b Springfield Gardens was originally home to Kurt and Ruth Benson. The newlyweds originally lived with Kurt's parents, but felt that his bedroom was too cramped and eventually moved into 10b Springfield Gardens in June 1998. After Kurt's affair with Ruth's step-sister Kate Patrick, the pair felt that their relationship was no longer working and Kurt left in January 1999.
Ruth began a relationship with Lewis Richardson, who moved in with Ruth. They received a temporary roommate in the form of friend Finn, who had been left homeless after his house-bus was detonated by Rob Hawthorn on Millenium Eve. Lewis became physically abusive towards Ruth and took a fatal overdose in October 2001, with Ruth deciding to move to London shortly afterwards.
