Jason Kirk

Jason Kirk was a fictional character in ITV's Emmerdale from 1999-2002. He was played by James Carlton.

Character's background
Jason first appeared in 1999, on his cousin Paddy's doorstep after his parents had thrown him out after he had told them he was gay. Paddy had told Jason to keep this a secret as Paddy's then-in-laws, The Dingles wouldn't take too kindly.

Jason later had an affair with Gavin who had previously been engaged to Bernice Blackstock.

In 2001, Jason helped delivery Latisha Daggert's baby, and when it turned out to be a boy Latisha decided to name him Kirk Daggert as a thank you to Jason. Jason left for Portugal on 31 January 2002, but he came back briefly in December 2002 to offer Latisha and her family jobs. Latisha, her mother Cynthia and Kirk, moved to Portugal with Jason.
