List of Emmerdale characters introduced in 1993

Shirley Turner (née Foster), played by Rachel Davies, made her debut screen appearance in 1993.

[1] A writer for Inside Soap said "Alan only has eyes for Shirley" and he makes plans for her to be landlady of his pub, The Woolpack.

A few months later, Shirley and Viv Windsor (Deena Payne) are taken hostage by Reg Dawson (Niven Boyd) who had robbed the post office.

Vic married Viv Dawson (Deena Payne) and they had two daughters together; Kelly (Adele Silva) and Donna (Verity Rushworth).

Lewis was axed by series producer Keiran Roberts in 1998 and Vic was killed during an armed robbery by Billy Hopwood (David Crellin).

[9] While going through marital problems, Kathy Tate meets and falls for Josh, a wine merchant who begins stopping of at The Woolpack.

Josh is spotted by a police officer and detained by him, until Zoe Tate (Leah Bracknell) vouches for his identity.

[10] Luke and Jessica were part of the show's new "brat pack", along with Biff Fowler (Stuart Wade) and Dolores Sharp (Samantha Hurst).

The Dingles refuse to believe this, theorising that the McAllisters have hidden evidence, considering that one of the doctors who examined Ben's body is Luke's father.

Luke meets Ben's sister Tina Dingle (Jacqueline Pirie) at a dance and he falls in love with her.

They agree to get married, but on the day Tina reveals to Luke and the wedding guests that she does not love him, there is no baby, and it was all in aid of revenge for Ben.

Luke eventually snaps, and he pushes Tina into Dave Glover's (Ian Kelsey) van and takes her for an insane ride around Emmerdale.

She manages to jump from the van while it is travelling at high speed, just before Luke loses control and crashes into a tree.

Inside Soap's Victoria Ross said Angharad did not have much to smile about and things looked like they would get worse for her and her family before they got better.

[14] Angharad arrives in the village with her husband Bernard (Brendan Price) and their two children, Jessica (Camilla Power) and Luke (Noah Huntley).

Angharad and Bernard became respected by the village residents and they both helped out with Alan Turner's (Richard Thorp) wedding preparations.

When Angharad realises she has to teach Tina Dingle (Jacqueline Pirie), she and Bernard become fed up of the feud and decide to leave Emmerdale and return to London.

A writer for Inside Soap said Jessica's family moved to Beckindale to put an end to her relationship with a "tearaway" named Danny.

The McAllister's believed that moving to Emmerdale would put some distance between them and Jessica started dating her brother's friend Biff Fowler.

Tina stirred things up by telling her brother Butch (Paul Loughran) that Jessica was secretly in love with him.

[10] Price revealed he was "delighted" with his new role and that he had rented a cottage minutes from the set, meaning he did not get to see his family often who were in Spain.

In just one year tending the sick and needy, Bernard has patched up plane crash casualties, bandaged the victims of an armed raid and seen his only son framed for murder.

"[18] Kathy Tate (Malandra Burrows) comes to Bernard for advice after discovering her husband has been cheating on her and Price said she develops a crush on him.

[18] The actor called it "a Fatal Attraction type of thing" and said Kathy misunderstands Bernard's medical concern for something more and she falls in love with him.

[18] Bernard moves to Beckindale with his wife Angharad (Amanda Wenban) and their two teenage children; Jessica (Camilla Power) and Luke (Noah Huntley).

Luke stays behind to finish his A Levels and he begins a relationship with Ben's sister, Tina (Jacqueline Pirie).

Luke dies after a car accident and Bernard plans for him to be buried in London, so he does not have to set foot in the village again.
