Biography[]
Kirk married Juliette Woods at a young age, with the pair living with his mother until they were able to afford to move out. They had three children together: first a son named Kurt, then a daughter named Lucy, and finally a son named Ollie. Kirk founded Benson's Electronics, employing Juliette and Lucy. Kurt enrolled in a performing arts school, but decided to drop out and a livid Kirk demanded that Kurt worked at the warehouse under Lucy. The Bensons continued to have more trouble with Kurt when he was accused of the attempted murder of Spike, and he eloped with Ruth Osborne.
In October 1997, both Ollie and Kurt were left comatose in a double car accident when Kurt and his friends chased after a drunken Lee Stanley, who was driving with Ollie as a passenger. Ollie tragically died from his injuries and Kurt regained consciousness shortly before his funeral. Kirk and Juliette's marriage became strained, especially when Juliette wanted another baby but was unable to conceive with Kirk. In July 1998, Kirk suffered a heart attack, ultimately giving him a health scare.
After Lucy became addicted to heroin, Kirk and Juliette took her to a rehabilitation clinic in November 1998. She was discharged in early 1999 after befriending Clare, and Lucy ended up overcoming her addiction after Clare took a fatal heroin overdose. During her recovery, Juliette and Kirk decided to leave the village in May 1999. In September 1999, they were informed that Kurt had died after being hit by a jet ski (but in reality, he had switched his ID with the deceased) and told Lucy, but did not attend his funeral.
