Confused about Kirk? In the dark over Dirk?

Online sources yesterday went a bit wild and very wrong, when they said that Coronation Street fans were confused that a new Kirk had joined Coronation Street.  He hadn't. In the scene at the bar of the Rovers, Fiz called the man Dirk, not Kirk.

And, as Duncan Lindsay points out in his Metro soaps column, it wasn't a mistake on Corrie's part, as reported by some tabloids and repeated all over the twittersphere by those who should know better.

Dirk is Coronation Street extra and all-round veyr nice chap Adam Blease. He's Dirk, not Kirk.

As opposed to Andy Whyment, who's Kirk, not Dirk.

Get it? Got it? Good.
