Emmerdale is a British soap opera first broadcast on 16 October 1972. The following is a list of characters that first appeared or will appear during 2015, by order of first appearance. All characters are introduced by the series producer Kate Oates. The first character to be introduced was Emma Barton in January. Nurse Darren Thompson arrived in March and Lachlan White's father, Donny Cairn arrived in April. The year's first birth, Moses Dingle, the son of Charity Tate and Ross Barton, occurred in June. Jermaine Bailey was also introduced during the same month. The second birth occurred in September as Vanessa Woodfield gave birth to her and Kirin Kotecha's child, Johnny Woodfield. Tess Harris, the woman whom Paddy Kirk had an affair with, also began appearing in September.
Emma Barton, played by Gillian Kearney, made her first screen appearance on 2 January 2015. The character has previously been mentioned by her on-screen family and heard once on a family video. During a press event on 11 August 2014, series producer Kate Oates revealed that Emma would finally be introduced to the show. She said "Emma's had a bit of a build-up, hasn't she? She's the woman we haven't seen and she's a bit of a mystery at the moment. I think it's safe to say that she is going to show up, possibly in the not-too-distant future. She may cause chaos." On 2 December 2014, it was announced that Kearney had been cast in the role. The actress commented, "As an avid fan of Emmerdale, I'm delighted to be playing Emma Barton." Emma is described as "psycho" and one of the best soap villains of all time. On 9 May 2017, it was announced that Kearney would be leaving the role of Emma, as her character finally gets a comeuppance for her actions.
Emma is the estranged mother of Pete (Anthony Quinlan), Ross (Michael Parr) and Finn Barton (Joe Gill), and the wife of James Barton (Bill Ward). She arrives in the village after Finn tracks her down following a 22-year absence from her family. Kearney called Emma "a fascinating and complex character", while Oates added that her appearance would "cause fireworks" for the Barton family.
