Juliette Benson

Juliette Benson (née Woods) is the wife of Kirk Benson and mother to Kurt, Ollie and Lucy Benson.
== Biography ==
Juliette married Kirk Benson 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. Juliette worked at Kirk's computer company (as did Lucy). In 1997, Kurt eloped with Ruth Osborne after Kurt was accused of attempting to murder Spike, and Juliette allowed them to live with the Bensons', recalling unfond memories of her mother-in-law and being stuck in Kirk's tiny bedroom.
The death of Ollie in October 1997 put a strain on Juliette and Kirk's marriage. The pair struggled with their first Christmas since Ollie died, opting to spend it with Juliette's Aunt Rose (Kurt and Lucy decided against joining them). However, things worsened between them when Juliette told Kirk that she wanted to have another baby. In July 1998, Kirk suffered a heart attack and he and Juliette decided to stop their attempts to conceive.
Lucy ended up getting addicted to heroin, with help from her nasty boyfriend Rob Hawthorn. After Rob attempted to kill her with a drug overdose in October 1998, Juliette and Kirk discovered that Lucy had stolen £10,000 from the business and Ollie's insurance. Carol Groves managed to retrieve their money, whilst Kirk and Juliette sent Lucy to a rehabilitation clinic. However, Lucy only decided to get clean when her friend from rehab, Clare, took a fatal overdose on her bed. In May 1999, Juliette and Kirk decided to move away from the village, but Lucy decided to stay behind. In September 1999, Juliette informed Lucy that Kurt had been fatally struck by a jet ski but did not return for his funeral. In October, Lucy visited her parents with her new boyfriend Tony Hutchinson.
