The following is a list of characters that first appeared in the British soap opera Emmerdale in 1995, by order of first appearance.

Nellie Dingle, portrayed by Sandra Gough in 1995 and Maggie Tagney in 2000, makes her first appearance on 24 January 1995. Nellie is the first wife of Zak Dingle (Steve Halliwell) and the mother of their five children, Nathan Dingle, Ben Dingle (Steve Fury), Butch Dingle (Paul Loughran), Sam Dingle (James Hooton, and Tina Dingle (Jacqueline Pirie).

Nellie arrived in the village following the arrival of her family months previously. She left the village to care for her ill father in Ireland, and did not return. Nellie and Zak divorce two years later so that he can marry Lisa Clegg (Jane Cox). Nellie returns five years after her departure and attempts to woo back Zak. When Butch dies following a bus crash, Nellie is devastated and after his funeral, she returns to Ireland.

Joseph "Joe" Tate (also credited as Tom Waterhouse), originally portrayed by Oliver Young, made his first appearance on 8 June 1995. He is the son of Chris Tate (Peter Amory) and Rachel Hughes (Glenda McKay). He continued to appear on a recurring basis until 22 September 2005, when the character departed. In September 2017, Ned Porteous joined the cast as businessman Tom Waterhouse, who was revealed to be Joseph in January 2018.

Joseph is born prematurely to parents Chris and Rachel, named after Joe Sugden (Frazer Hines) and Mark Hughes (Craig McKay). Since Chris cannot be found when Rachel goes into labour, his former wife Kathy Tate (Malandra Burrows) helps Rachel and becomes Joseph's godmother. When Chris and Rachel divorce, Rachel obtains custody of Joseph. The following year, Rachel begins a relationship with Graham Clark (Kevin Pallister), who later murders her by pushing her off a cliff. Joseph begins living with Chris, although when Chris marries Charity Dingle (Emma Atkins), Joseph opts to attend boarding school. Two years later, Chris commits suicide, framing Charity for his murder and leaving Joseph an orphan. Zoe Tate (Leah Bracknell), Chris' sister, obtains custody of Joseph and in 2005, they leave the village with Zoe's daughter, Jean Tate (Megan Pearson).
