Coronation Street Blog: Why I love Kirk

Why I love Kirk

All to often I hear people on forums talk about how Kirk is useless, and needs to be axed. I disagree, I love 'Kirkeh', sure he doesn't really have any storylines, but does he need to? He's a loveable loser, and he always has a smile on his face. He's not a bad person in any way, in fact, he's probably the closest thing to a real life person the street has.

Corrie does well with characters like Kirk, you can have your serial killers, and you can have your explosions, but they'd be nothing without the secondary characters, the Julies and the Kirkys. Long live Kirk!

bbhilda said...: I agree, I love Kirk. I was trying to figure out tonight, was he Best Man at both weddings? I didn't see anyone else doing the job, but he seemed front and centre all the time.
However, I do wish they would give him a storyline of his own. It's well overdue.; 9 April 2011 at 00:20

Anonymous said...: Agree.... without the "Kirks" of the street, it would just be another over-wrought dreary soap.... These characters make Corrie what it is.; 9 April 2011 at 03:14
Dolly Tubb said...: Kirk is pure Corrie. Can only agree with other comments here, forget the bank heists, epilepsy, sham weddings, etc. Kirk is what Corrie is about!; 9 April 2011 at 09:27
seapenguin said...: I really like Kirk as well - he is brilliant - hope he never leaves! loved his line with Audrey about "are you coming on to me? cos I don't really do much older women". (that's me out the picture then...); 9 April 2011 at 11:40
Anonymous said...: Very well put, Dolly Tubb. Kirk's contribution to the wedding epidsodes was a million times better than the tedious waiting-for-Kylie or you-will-suffer-for-immigration-fraud scenes.; 9 April 2011 at 14:07
mister_tmg said...: Amen. Kirk is what Corrie's about to me. Come on producers, give him something to do - a silly comedy storyline please! It was better when he was linked to the Battersby's.; 9 April 2011 at 14:48

Maybe he should buy the Rovers...that would make as much sense as Jim robbing a bank sans disguise in order for Liz to be "beck buhend the burr whar she belungs..so she des."; 9 April 2011 at 20:50
