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

Robyn Platt is the girlfriend (and later wife) of Martin Platt (Sean Wilson). She made her first appearance on 23 September 2005 and made her last appearance on 9 November 2005. She was portrayed by Claire Calbraith.

In September 2005, Robyn made her first appearance as a mascot. However, the actress who portrayed her, Claire Calbraith, was uncredited although it still counted as her first appearance.

A month later, in October 2005, Robyn reappeared and she and Martin began a relationship. However, Robyn was thinking Martin was stringing her along and she dumped him at the Rovers Return Inn over her suspicions but eventually got back together with him that same month.

Martin began to reject his son, David (Jack P. Shepherd), for Robyn and at 8 Coronation Street, which was holding a farewell bombfire for Martin and Robyn, who were leaving for a new life in Liverpool in November 2005, David figured out that Martin wanted Robyn and not him. Both David's mother, Martin's ex-wife, Gail Platt (Helen Worth), and Robyn were furious with Martin for rejecting David. When Martin realized his coldness toward his son, he decided to make it up to him by spending time with him, but David rejected his father. However, he and Martin reconciled before he departed for Liverpool with Robyn. David told Robyn to take good care of his father; Robyn replied that she will.

Hiren "Scooter" Makuna, first appeared in early 2005 as the boyfriend of Sarah Platt (Tina O'Brien). He was of Indian descent.

His character was mostly remembered for not being very bright, having a fondness for fish and getting great pleasure in retrieving junk from skips. Scooter and Sarah broke up in the autumn of 2005 after an argument. He left the Street soon afterwards.

Lena Thistlewood was a friend of Blanche Hunt (Maggie Jones), who first appeared in 2005 and was a regular visitor to the Barlow household and she took a fancy to Ken Barlow (William Roache), Lena was a guest at Ken and Deirdre's wedding in 2005. In early 2006, Lena died and she left her dog, Eccles, to Blanche.
