Coronation Street is a British soap opera first broadcast on 9 December 1960. The following is a list of characters that appeared in 2015, by order of first appearance.

All characters are introduced by series producer Stuart Blackburn. Beth Tinker's (Lisa George) grandmother, Agnes Tinker (Juliette Kaplan), and Hamish Young (James Redmond), a potential love interest for Michelle Connor (Kym Marsh), were introduced in January, while Linda Hancock (Jacqueline Leonard), the estranged mother of Izzy (Cherylee Houston) and Katy Armstrong (Georgia May Foote), began appearing from February. Michael Rodwell's (Les Dennis) long-lost son, Gavin Rodwell (Mark Holgate), began appearing from March, as did Jackson Hodge (Rhys Cadman), the father of Faye Windass' (Ellie Leach) baby. Faye and Jackson's baby daughter Miley Windass (Erin, Eilah & Elsie Halliwell), Eileen Grimshaw's (Sue Cleaver) new love interest Adrian Mortimer (Mark Moraghan) and the first regular character of the year, Cathy Matthews (Melanie Hill), a love interest for widower Roy Cropper (David Neilson), began appearing from April. A love interest for Liz McDonald (Beverley Callard) and a face from Leanne Battersby's (Jane Danson) past, Dan Jones (Andrew Paul), and Robert Preston's (Tristan Gemmill) secret wife, Joni (Sarah Harding), made their debuts in June and July respectively. August saw the arrivals of wildlife explorer Dougie Ryan (Paddy McGuinness), and his daughter Caitlin Ryan (Eve Gordon), as well as an extension to the Connor family, Aidan Connor (Shayne Ward). Cathy's nephew, Alex Warner (Liam Bairstow), and Steph Britton's (Tisha Merry) ex-boyfriend, Jamie Bowman (James Atherton), arrived in September. October saw the arrivals of Aidan's father, Johnny Connor (Richard Hawley) and sister, Kate Connor (Faye Brookes), as well as Cathy's sister and Alex's mother, Nessa Warner (Sadie Shimmin). Caz Hammond (Rhea Bailey), Kate's fiancée, first appeared in November.

Agnes Tinker, played by former Last of the Summer Wine actress Juliette Kaplan, made her first screen appearance on 5 January 2015. The character and casting was announced on 21 December 2014. Kaplan was initially set to appear in four episodes, but this was later extended to eight.

Agnes is Beth Tinker's (Lisa George) grandmother, who comes to Weatherfield for her wedding to Kirk Sutherland (Andrew Whyment). She arrives with her daughter Nancy (Kate Fitzgerald) and her granddaughter Arlene (Alison Burrows). The women initially mistake Jason Grimshaw (Ryan Thomas) for Kirk and are disappointed when Kirk does eventually turn up. Agnes tells Arlene's daughter, Sinead (Katie McGlynn) that she will leave everything to her when she dies. Believing Kirk is not around, Agnes, Nancy and Arlene start making unkind remarks about him and his job. Beth and Kirk get married and Agnes leaves after the reception.

A few weeks later, Sinead is badly injured in a minibus crash and Agnes returns to the Street. She attempts to calm Chesney Brown (Sam Aston) down, after he is involved in a confrontation with Steve McDonald (Simon Gregson). Agnes visits Sinead and decides to stay for a while to help out. She tells Beth, Chesney and Kirk off for not pulling their weight when it becomes obvious that Sinead did most of the housework and cooking.

Nancy Tinker, played by Kate Fitzgerald, is Arlene (Alison Burrows) and Beth Tinker's (Lisa George) mother. The character and casting was announced on 21 December 2014. She arrives in Weatherfield for Beth and Kirk Sutherland's (Andrew Whyment) wedding in alongside Arlene and Agnes Tinker. The women initially mistake Jason Grimshaw (Ryan Thomas) for Kirk and are disappointed when Kirk does eventually turn up. Believing Kirk is not around, Agnes, Nancy and Arlene start making unkind remarks about him and his job. Beth and Kirk get married and during the party in The Rovers Return Inn, Nancy takes two bottles of wine and is caught by Liz McDonald (Beverley Callard).

She later returned for Sinead Tinker's wedding to Chesney Brown and was shocked when Chesney jilted her at the altar. The following year she attended Bertie Osbourne's christening and then visited Sinead on her deathbed.

Arlene Tinker, played by Alison Burrows, is Beth Tinker's (Lisa George) sister and Sinead Tinker's (Katie McGlynn) mother. The character and casting was announced on 21 December 2014. Arlene comes to Beth and Kirk Sutherland's (Andrew Whyment) wedding. The night before the wedding, Kirk comes down the stairs to find Agnes (Juliette Kaplan), Arlene and Nancy (Kate Fitzgerald) insult him. In The Rovers Return Inn, Arlene flirts with Dev Alahan (Jimmi Harkishin), which makes Julie Carp (Katy Cavanagh) and Mary Taylor (Patti Clare) jealous.
