The following is a list of characters that first appeared in the New Zealand soap opera Shortland Street in 2005, by order of first appearance.

Hugo Carmont made his first appearance in February 2005 as the old friend of Mark Weston (Tim Foley). Hugo was a lawyer and represented Eti Kawaka (Isaac Bell) when he was arrested for breaking into several houses and recording the sleeping residents. He paid Li Mei Chen (Li Ming Hu) for sex and it was not long before it was revealed he was the home invader who was desperately after Mark's affection. He decided to murder Mark's crush, Maia Jeffries (Anna Jullienne) in an isolated forest but his efforts resulted in him falling to his presumed death from a cliff. However several weeks later Hugo returned and pleaded to Mark to let him free. Mark turned him into the police and Hugo was later sentenced to jail time.

Eileen Horrocks (née Gregory) was first mentioned in dialogue in 2004, before she arrived for three episodes in March 2005. Eileen visited her sister, Yvonne (Alison Quigan) whilst on the way of an overseas trip. She was very fond of her niece Maia (Anna Jullienne) but was disgusted to learn she was a lesbian. Eileen voiced disapproval to Yvonne who informed her how proud she was of her daughter before sending her on her way.

Richard Minogue made his first appearance in mid-2005 under the name: Hamish Flynn. In 2006 the character was axed as part of a soap revamp.Tania Jeffries (Faye Smythe) was interested romantically in Hamish but when he got a job at the hospital, he clashed with her mother, Yvonne (Alison Quigan). Hamish soon revealed he was the son Yvonne and Ian (Jeffrey Thomas) had adopted out when they were teenagers and he was welcomed into the family. Hamish began to date Sarah Potts (Amanda Billing) but his boss Huia Samuels (Nicola Kawana) began to suspect Hamish of fraud. In 2006 things came to a head when Hamish admitted to Yvonne his real name was Richard and he was a conman who was frauding the hospital and was after the Jeffries' money. He had been working in family care when he came across Hamish's case and had stolen his identity. Yvonne promised to keep his secret but snapped and Richard was arrested.
