Kurt Benson is a fictional character from the British Channel 4 soap opera, Hollyoaks, played by Jeremy Edwards. He debuted on-screen during the episode airing on 23 October 1995. He was created by Phil Redmond as one of the serial's original characters. On 12 June 2013 it was announced that Kurt will return later in the year as part of Hollyoaks Later.
Kurt is described as having "two passions in his life - his motorbike and his music". Kurt is "intent on achieving just two things - becoming a rockstar and getting his hands on the desirable Natasha!" Kurt is described as being "despaired at [Tony's] submissive nature" while his brother Ollie is described as the "constant bane of his life". Kurt is described by British newspaper The Independent as being the Alpha male. They also go on to state: "A clean-cut guitarist with a quiff of dark hair and jeans that are unpleasantly loose, bagged together by a tight belt. He's chased by a panda car wherever he goes, though it's not clear what he's done wrong."MSN described him as the serial's "original bad boy".Virgin Media described him as "good looking, cheeky and often in trouble with the police, but everyone loved him". The Daily Record described him as a "rebel- without-a-cause". The Liverpool Echo described him as "heart throb" and said "He was a motorcycle-loving rock star-in-waiting."The Independent described him as "cool-guy Kurt".
Kurt was friends with Tony Hutchinson and Jambo Bolton and had his heart set on winning Natasha Anderson as his girlfriend. Tragedy struck before the two could really get together, and her death started a deadly feud with Rob Hawthorne.
