Emmerdale is a British soap opera first broadcast on 16 October 1972. The following is a list of characters that will appear in 2016, by order of first appearance. All characters are introduced by series producer Kate Oates, or her successor Iain MacLeod. Pierce Harris, the husband of established character Tess Harris, was introduced in February, followed by Ryan and Aaron Livesy's half-sister, Liv Flaherty, Holly Barton's ex-boyfriend Dean appear in March and plumber Ronnie Hale was introduced in April.
Pierce Harris, played by Jonathan Wrather, made his first screen appearance on 11 February 2016. The character and Wrather's casting was announced on 10 January 2016. Of his casting, Warner said "I am thrilled to be joining Emmerdale. It's a great opportunity to be offered the chance to create a new character in one of TV's most popular shows and I'm very excited to be working with such an outstanding cast and team." Pierce is the husband of established character, Tess Harris (Nicola Stephenson) and has been mentioned on several occasions since Tess' arrival. Tess has been having an affair with Paddy Kirk (Dominic Brunt), who was described as not expecting to meet Tess' husband.
Pierce turns up at the hospital to see his wife Tess, who was admitted after being struck by a car driven by a drunk Kirin Kotecha (Adam Fielding). Tess' friends, Paddy and his wife Rhona Goskirk (Zoe Henry), introduce themselves to Pierce, but he is led away by the doctors who want to discuss Tess' operation. Pierce is later told that Tess has died during surgery due to her injuries, and he rushes from the hospital.
The following month, Pierce was given personal items of Tess' that were in her car. He discovered Tess had been having an affair and had a secret phone. He also found a brochure for the Mill Cottage development and wanted to have a look. Before looking at the development he went into The Woolpack for a drink where he saw Paddy and Rhona. He revealed that he had Tess's affair phone, which made Paddy squirm. Paddy's best friend Marlon Dingle (Mark Charnock) came to his rescue, but Rhona, who knew about the affair, agreed to meet with Pierce the following day. Pierce showed Rhona some of the texts Tess had sent to her lover, and after learning they were texting on Christmas Day and planning to go to Paris, Rhona cracked and revealed to Pierce that Paddy was Tess' mystery man.
