Coronation Street is a British soap opera, initially produced by Granada Television. Created by writer Tony Warren, Coronation Street first broadcast on ITV on 9 December 1960. The following is a list of characters introduced in the show's thirty-first year, by order of first appearance. Sandra Arden, the daughter of Alec Gilroy (Roy Barraclough) and Sandra's husband and daughter, Tim (John Flanagan) and Vicky (Helen Warburton) all made their first appearances in January. December saw the birth of the only 2 babies born in 1990, Rosie, the daughter of Kevin (Michael Le Vell) and Sally Webster (Sally Dynevor) and Martin Platt (Sean Wilson) and Gail Tilsley's (Helen Worth) son, David.
Sandra Arden (also Gilroy) is the daughter of Alec and Joyce Gilroy.
Alec decides to contact his daughter to make up for the last twenty years and gets Sandra's address from his ex-wife Joyce. After discovering that Sandra lives in a big house in Cheshire with her husband Tim and their daughter, Vicky.
After initial misunderstandings between the Ardens and the Gilroys, Sandra tells Alec that he could keep in touch with them. In July 1991, Joyce dies and Sandra asks Alec to meet Vicky at boarding school and to let her stay at the Rovers Return so that she and Tim can attend Joyce's funeral in Whitby.
Before the Gilroys set off for the train station, a Police Sergeant arrives to tell Alec that Sandra and Tim have both died in a car crash.
Tim Arden is husband of Sandra Arden and father of Vicky McDonald. Tim makes sparing appearances when his father-in-law Alec Gilroy visits the family. Tim makes his final appearance on 13 June 1990. 13 months later, shortly after Sandra was seen again on screen without Tim, a police sergeant arrives at the Rovers Return Inn to tell Alec that both Tim and Sandra have died in a car crash en route to Sandra's mother, Joyce's funeral.
