The following is a list of characters that first appeared in the ITV soap opera Coronation Street in 1993, by order of first appearance.

John Finnan (Shay Gorman) was Carmel Finnan's (Catherine Cusack) grandfather. He raised her as his own daughter, as his other daughter got pregnant with her at fifteen. Carmel became mentally unstable after discovering her true parentage fourteen years later, and she tried to accuse a much older man of getting her pregnant. Because of her behavior, John and his wife placed their granddaughter in a psychiatric hospital and a year later, Carmel left as a happy girl who put her dark past behind her.

Between 1992 and 1993, Carmel became obsessed with former college friend Martin Platt (Sean Wilson). This resulted in his then wife Gail (Helen Worth) to angrily confront Carmel at her bedsit, and the feud ended with Carmel falling down the stairs and breaking her leg. When Carmel falsely accused Gail of pushing her down the stairs, John arrived in Weatherfield to question the Platts about what happened and was shocked to discover that Carmel had falsely accused Martin of getting her pregnant; he explained her mental past and told them he would take her home to Ireland to get the care she needs.

Maureen Webster (née Grimes; previously Naylor, Holdsworth, and Elliott) was played by Sherrie Hewson.

Maureen Naylor was first seen in March 1993 when she was employed by Curly Watts at Bettabuys supermarket, unaware that her first love Reg Holdsworth was the store manager. The pair had been engaged to be married when they were young, but Maureen's mother Maud disapproved of Reg and had ruined the relationship. Maureen went on to marry Frank Naylor but eventually divorced him after he treated her badly.

Delighted to be reunited, Maureen and Reg began courting, although Maureen's cautious behaviour led Reg to suspect she was seeing another man. Maureen eventually confessed that she was actually living with her mother and did not want her to frighten Reg away as she had done years before. Despite Maud's best efforts to sabotage their courtship with feigned illnesses and injuries, Reg and Maureen prepared to consummate their love in Reg's water bed, only for Derek Wilton to drill through the ceiling below into the bed, flooding the flat and humiliating Maureen. The couple got engaged again but Maureen called off the wedding when she caught Reg entertaining Debi Scott and accused him of being unfaithful. Devastated, Maureen got drunk and spent the night with Curly but was reconciled with Reg when he explained that he had been trying to secure a cheap deal for the Corner Shop from Debi.
