List of Coronation Street characters introduced in 1992

The following is a list of characters that first appeared in the ITV soap opera Coronation Street in 1992, by order of first appearance.

Lisa Horton (formerly Duckworth) was played by Caroline Milmoe. Lisa is introduced as the pregnant ex-girlfriend of Terry Duckworth (Nigel Pivaro), who returns to Weatherfield after a four-year absence in 1992. Upon her arrival, Terry is arrested and returned to prison to face charges of GBH and he and Lisa later get married after he is granted day release. However, Terry only intends to use the wedding as a plot to escape, and he flees the church after the ceremony.

In September, Lisa gives birth to a son, whom she names Tommy. Lisa struggles as a single mother. After coming to the conclusion that Terry was never going to be a suitable father to Tommy and that she never loved Terry, Lisa sets her sights on bookie Des Barnes (Philip Middlemiss). Lisa and Des fall in love and intended to move away together, but in February 1993, Lisa is knocked down by a car outside The Rovers Return whilst attempting to retrieve change after dropping her purse. She suffers serious injuries and dies in hospital soon after.

Ted Sullivan was played by William Russell. Ted was first seen as a representative for a supplier of the Kabin, and first appears when Rita Fairclough (Barbara Knox) and Mavis Wilton (Thelma Barlow) learn of his plans to retire. Mavis recommends her husband Derek (Peter Baldwin) for his job, and Derek does his best to sell himself to Ted - only to be rejected when Ted tells him his nephew is already lined up to replace him. Meanwhile, Rita catches Ted's attention and he returns again to see her.

Ted courts Rita, and they begin dating. In March, Ted reveals his plan to move to Florida and live there, and to her astonishment, Ted asks Rita to join him as his wife. Initially she turns him down, but later changes her mind and they head out to Florida in search of a new home. When they return however, Ted reveals that the reason he is retiring is because he is terminally ill with a brain tumour. Rita feels cheated, and cancels their plans to emigrate, but agrees to marry Ted in order for them live out his last days as a couple.

Rita and Ted marry weeks later, and by July, Ted is getting weaker as his condition deteriorates. He dies on a park bench on 9 September 1992 watching Percy Sugden (Bill Waddington) play bowls, but his friends do not initially realise he is dead; they believe he is just sleeping. Rita finds him, and is left heartbroken.

Jeff Horton, played by Dicken Ashworth, made his first screen appearance on 18 May 1992. He dies of a heart attack, off-screen, on 5 April 2012, at which time Tommy learns of it, and after originally saying he would not go to the funeral, Tina finally persuades him to. Jeff is the father of Lisa Duckworth (Caroline Milmoe) and grandfather of Tommy Duckworth (Chris Fountain). In his will, Jeff leaves Tommy £12,000 which he is conned out of by his father Terry (Nigel Pivaro).

Doreen Horton was the mother of Lisa Duckworth (Caroline Milmoe), played by Annie Raitt and appeared intermittently between 1992 and 2000. On 5 April 2012, Doreen rang Tyrone Dobbs (Alan Halsall) to inform her grandson, Lisa's son Tommy (Chris Fountain), that Jeff (Dicken Ashworth) had a heart attack and died in hospital earlier that day.
