How did that name come about????

also who came up with for Freddie?

and Philth???




just curious

Johnny Allen used to call Phil, "Philth Mitchell"

Bryan Kirkwood.

Berk definition is stupid person so his name lends to it.

I don't know who first called him that however. Before my time I guess.

Birk/burke in cockney slang is the 'c u next Tuesday' term. I thought it came from that.

I've never called him that. Bit childish to use names.

As for the Freddie. Well its apt I suppose

For a time Freddie's facial expression just seemed to be but recently he has improved

As for Birkwood... Not much needs to be said. I know everyone loved his first stint at HO but I wasn't very keen on it. The only stuff I enjoyed from his first stint was Clare. However, everyone seems to hate his second stint but I much prefer this stint to his first. Bar the Roscoe's that is and the unforgivable act of killing the one and only Clare Devine, otherwise I've really enjoyed this stint.

Since he was popular in his first HO stint, I would assume it was when he brought the icon that is Kat back more bitchy than she had ever been, and pregnant with someone else's child. That or when he killed off Pat Butcher.
