The following is a list of characters that first appeared in the BBC soap opera EastEnders in 1987, by order of first appearance.

Tina Hopkins, played by Eleanor Rhodes, is introduced as Ian Beale's (Adam Woodyatt) girlfriend in February 1987. Ian's friend Kelvin Carpenter (Paul J. Medford) takes a shine to Tina and makes several passes at her, which she shuns.

Tina gets a job working at Naima Jeffery's (Shreela Ghosh) grocery store, the First til Last, and by May 1987 she and Ian decide that they want to move in together. They manage to persuade Kelvin to rent them one of his father's flats. Tina and Ian get the required consent from their parents and although their parents' are unhappy with it, they move in with each other in July 1987.

Things do not go well for the couple. They find it difficult to pay the rent and when money goes missing from the cash register at Tina's workplace, Naima accuses her of stealing it (it was actually one of Mary Smith's (Linda Davidson) wayward friends named Sandra). Tina eventually manages to clear her name with the help of Rod Norman (Christopher McHallem), who sets a trap for the real thief.

Shortly after, Tina's parents arrive in Walford on an impromptu visit from Ilford. They let themselves into Tina's flat and are horrified to discover what a mess it is in. When they discover that Simon Wicks (Nick Berry) and Magda Czajkowski (Kathryn Apanowicz) live next door in an adjoining room, they decide that Tina cannot remain living there. Despite Tina's protests, they pack her bags and drag her back to Ilford to live with them in September 1987. Tina is not seen again.

Emine Osman, played by Pelin Ahmet, is the daughter of Mehmet (Haluk Bilginer) and Guizin Osman (Ishia Bennison). She is first seen on screen in February 1987. Her father gambles away their home and then disappears, so Emine, her mother, and her two brothers, Murat (Eddie Izzet) and Rayif (Billy Hassan), are forced to move in with Mehmet's brother Ali (Nejdet Salih) and his wife Sue (Sandy Ratcliff).
