Emmerdale is a British soap opera first broadcast on 16 October 1972. The following is a list of characters that first appeared in 1993, by order of first appearance. All characters were introduced by either Morag Bain or Nicholas Prosser, the show's series producers.

1993 was a turning point for the show, as in December, the show received its highest ratings of all time when a plane crashed into the village, killing Archie Brooks, Mark Hughes, Elizabeth Pollard and Leonard Kempinski.

Josh Lewis, played by Peter Warnock, made his debut screen appearance in 1993. Josh was a "smoothtalking American wine merchant". Josh begins a "passionate, adulterous" affair with Kathy Tate (Malandra Burrows), but when she decides to give her marriage to Chris Tate (Peter Amory) another go she tells Josh to leave. Josh goes to the South of France for a while, but he returns and Kathy is forced to choose between him and Chris. Of Josh and Kathy, Burrows told a reporter for Inside Soap "The great thing about Josh is that he sees Kathy as herself, not as a possession. He arrived on the scene when Chris was at his worst and you must remember that she wasn't looking for an affair." Burrows opined that Kathy would hate to leave her family and the village for Josh. The actress added "there's no way that she and Josh could live happily ever after in Beckindale - the gossips would have a field day!" Jaci Stephen of the Daily Mirror called Josh a "nice American chap". A columnist for Inside Soap named Josh and Kathy's relationship as one of the "Hot affairs of the Dales".

While going through marital problems, Kathy Tate meets and falls for Josh, a wine merchant who begins stopping of at The Woolpack. Kathy finds Josh is the opposite to her husband Chris and they begin an affair. Kathy later agrees to run away with Josh. While on his way to pick up Kathy, a plane strikes the village and Josh finds his way blocked. He helps to repair a damaged bridge, which allows the fire and ambulance services to reach the village. Josh gains the respect many of the residents for helping out. When he reaches the village, Josh notices Kathy's concern for Chris who is trapped in some wreckage. He realises their plan to run away together is over and he goes to her house to hide her cases and remove her farewell note. Josh is spotted by a police officer and detained by him, until Zoe Tate (Leah Bracknell) vouches for his identity. Josh later leaves the village alone.
