The following is a list of characters who first appeared in the Channel 4 soap opera Hollyoaks between 1995 and 1996, by order of first appearance. Hollyoaks is a long running Channel 4 soap opera in the United Kingdom. 1995 was the first year for the show and saw the introduction of many original characters. This period also saw the introduction of families such as the Cunningham family, the Osborne family, the Benson family and Andersen family.

Kurt Benson is a fictional character from the British Channel 4 soap opera Hollyoaks, played by Jeremy Edwards. He was one of seven original teen characters created for the show. He debuted on-screen during the episode airing on 23 October 1995 and was the first character seen on screen. He was created by Phil Redmond. He stayed on the show until he left in 1999 when he and girlfriend Ruth Osborne split up. The character was later killed off screen in a jet ski accident.

Oliver "Ollie" Benson is a fictional character on the long-running Channel 4 British television soap opera Hollyoaks. He was played by actor Paul Leyshon between 1995-1997 and appeared from the first ever episode and left in 1997 when the character died in a road accident. Ollie was the youngest of Benson children and the brother of Kurt Benson and Lucy Benson.

Ollie worked as a roving journalist for the Riverbank Review, where he instigated such seminal reports as Babe of the Month and Cleavage of the Year. At home he loved to play practical jokes such as hiding the 'Unidentified Bleeping Object' in Kurt's room, where it proceeded to wake Kurt up at 6.59am every morning. Ollie's best mate was Lee "Stan" Stanley and even after Ollie exposed Stan's "Chips for Sex" scandal (in which he insinuated that Stan gave girls extra chips in order to seduce them) Ollie still remained the best of friends with Stan. At one time Ollie made a mistake of sleeping with Mandy Richardson, not discovering until later that she was only fifteen. He had a remarkably vibrant spirit and refused to let anything get him down even when he had to face the prospect of facing a charge for statutory rape for sleeping with Mandy. However, Ollie's life was to be short lived, as he was involved in a car accident after he tried to stop Stan in his car for driving too fast until Stan lost control of the car and a lorry reversed down the road where Stan had no time to brake. Ollie suffered some injuries and was rushed to hospital with his family beside him. After a week, both Ollie and Stan died in hospital.
