The following is a list of characters that first appeared in the British soap opera Emmerdale in 2004, by order of first appearance.

Noah Christopher Dingle (also Christopher Francis Tate Jnr, Noah Tate and Noah Sharma ) is the son of Charity (Emma Atkins) and Chris Tate (Peter Amory) and former stepson of Jai Sharma and Declan Macey. He appeared from 2004 to 2005 and returned in 2009 along with his mother, Charity.

Noah is born in prison while Charity was serving a life sentence for the murder of his father, Chris, who had actually committed suicide. His paternity was doubtful as Charity had slept with her cousins, Cain (Jeff Hordley) and Marlon (Mark Charnock) as well as her husband, but DNA tests confirmed he was Chris' son. Charity, knowing she couldn't keep Noah with her in prison, sells him to his aunt Zoe (Leah Bracknell), who calls him Christopher after her brother. In return for this, Zoe tells the court that Chris framed Charity for murder and she is freed. The courts, however, do not allow Zoe to adopt Christopher, due to her current workload, other family commitments and mental illness so Charity takes him back, returning his name to Noah and leaves the village in 2005.

In October 2009, Noah and Charity return to the village when Charity discovers that her fiancé, Michael, has been having an affair with Charity's daughter, Debbie (Charley Webb). After the wedding is called off, Noah and Charity move in with Debbie and her daughter, Sarah. Charity sends Noah to the local primary school as he is too old to go to playgroup with Sarah.

Noah believes that Michael was his father, so he was crushed to discover his father was dead. Charity raises Noah's hope by getting engaged to Cain. Noah asks Cain to be his "forever daddy" and Cain, becoming tearful, tells the little lad that he will always be there for him. Noah is thrilled, and is pleased to be living with his mum, Cain, his sister Debbie and his young niece Sarah Sugden (Sophia Amber Moore). Noah lives happily in Tug Ghyll up until early 2011 when Cain gets paranoid about Charity and her boss Jai Sharma (Chris Bisson) apparently "having an affair". Charity is devastated when Cain sleeps with Faye Lamb (Kim Thomson) and Charity realizes there is a spark between her and Jai and moves into Holdgate Farm with The Sharma's and Noah. Noah begins to miss Cain and is devastated when Cain gets attacked by his dad (Noah's great uncle Zak Dingle (Steve Halliwell). Noah is later crushed when Charity announces her engagement to Jai. Noah begins to warm to Jai, and tells him that he "doesn't mind" him marrying Charity, as long as he doesn't have to call him Dad, like he did with Michael and Cain. Secretly, Noah doesn't think that the wedding will ever happen, so he is shocked when Charity becomes Mrs. Sharma. Jai wants children but Charity says two is enough, as Jai has gained two extra children (Noah and Debbie) and has become a granddad to Sarah, which Jai doesn't like, but laughs when Charity is called Granny. Instead of having children, Jai asks Charity if he can adopt Noah, but Charity is secretly having regrets about the marriage after seeing Cain and Moira Barton (Natalie J. Robb) together but they settle to change Noah's name to Noah Christopher Sharma. Noah loves playing on the Xbox with Jai and Rishi Sharma (Bhasker Patel) and loves being one of the family.
