Kurt Benson Kurt Benson, played by Jeremy Edwards, was one of seven original teen characters created for the show. He debuted on-screen during the episode airing on 23 October 1995 and was the first character seen on screen. He was created by Phil Redmond. He stayed on the show until he left in 1999 when he and girlfriend Ruth Osborne (Terri Dwyer) split up. The character was later killed off screen in a jet ski accident.
