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 (Gillian Kearney) in January. Nurse Darren Thompson (Danny Horn) arrived in March and Lachlan White's (Thomas Atkinson) father, Donny Cairn (Alan Convy) arrived in April. The year's first birth, Moses Dingle, the son of Charity Dingle (Emma Atkins) and Ross Barton (Michael Parr), occurred in June. Jermaine Bailey (Micah Balfour) was also introduced during the same month. The second birth occurred in September as Vanessa Woodfield (Michelle Hardwick) gave birth to her and Kirin Kotecha's (Adam Fielding) child, Johnny Woodfield. Tess Harris (Nicola Stephenson), the woman whom Paddy Kirk (Dominic Brunt) 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. Her final episode aired on 6 October 2017, where Emma was killed-off in a whodunit-style storyline where she was pushed off a viaduct and murdered, however it was initially believed that the character committed suicide. Emma reappeared one last time on the 14 December 2017 flashback episode, where her killer was revealed to be Moira Barton following a confrontation regarding how her actions have negatively impacted on their families, shortly after being disowned by Pete and Ross after a separate argument with the pair.
