List of Coronation Street characters introduced in 2008
The following is a list of characters that first appeared in the ITV soap opera Coronation Street in 2008, by order of first appearance.
Tina McIntyre, played by Michelle Keegan, made her first appearance on 7 January 2008, Tina cemented herself as the new "gobby goddess" of Weatherfield. Tina was initially introduced as a new girlfriend for established character, David Platt (Jack P. Shepherd). She was shortly joined by her father, Joe (Reece Dinsdale), who ended up marrying David's mother, Gail (Helen Worth). In February 2010, Joe died after faking his own death in an insurance scam, which devastated Tina.
Since then, Tina has highlighted issues such as perjury, abortion and surrogacy. She has had a few relationships, including ones with David, Graeme Proctor (Craig Gazey), Tommy Duckworth (Chris Fountain), Dr. Matt Carter (Oliver Mellor) and Jason Grimshaw (Ryan Thomas). In May 2013, Tina gave birth to Jake Windass, whose biological parents are Izzy Armstrong (Cherylee Houston) and Gary Windass (Mikey North), but Tina acted as a surrogate for the couple. Tina decided she wanted to keep the baby and name him after Joe, infuriating the Windasses and Anna (Debbie Rush) slapped Tina. Tina has also developed an unbreakable friendship with Rita Sullivan (Barbara Knox) since her first appearance in January 2008, although they have had their disagreements. In late 2013, Tina began an affair with Peter Barlow (Chris Gascoyne), who was married to Carla Connor (Alison King). Tina's boss Liz McDonald (Beverley Callard) and her son Steve (Simon Gregson) eventually found out. Tina has also had many feuds, particularly with Kylie Platt (Paula Lane), Kirsty Soames (Natalie Gumede) and Tracy Barlow (Kate Ford).
In May 2014, Peter decides to tell Carla about his affair with Tina and promised Tina that they will leave Weatherfield together. Meanwhile, Tina and Rita argue and Rita slaps her for insulting Rita's marital status. Tina is later visited by Rob Donovan (Marc Baylis), and they argue. Tina falls from the balcony but survives that so Rob beats her with a metal pipe to ensure that she dies. Tina's final scenes aired on 2 June 2014, where she died in hospital, ending 6 years on Coronation Street.
Barrington "Barry" Connor is the father of Paul (Sean Gallagher), Liam (Rob James-Collier) and Michelle Connor (Kym Marsh). Barry first appeared in February 2008 along with his wife, Helen, and nephew, Tom Kerrigan (Philip McGinley), to attend Liam's wedding to Maria Sutherland (Samia Ghadie). He returned to the street on 20 October after hearing news of Liam's death in a hit and run accident. He and Helen went home after apologising to Carla (Alison King) for telling her what to do. Barry and Helen returned on 24 November 2008 to celebrate their fortieth wedding anniversary.
Barry and Helen returned in July 2009 to meet their new grandson, Liam, but after clashing with Maria over Tony's involvement in baby Liam's life, they returned to Ireland. They returned in October for the first anniversary of Liam's death and they were horrified by Maria and Tony Gordon's (Gray O'Brien) relationship. They eventually accepted it, however, and attended baby Liam's christening and left Weatherfield on good terms with Maria and Tony. They returned again in November after Tony told the police and Maria that he did arrange for Liam to be killed. Michelle rang Barry and Helen to tell them the horrifying news. They booked a flight to Manchester immediately and comforted Maria. Deciding she needed to leave Weatherfield for a while, Maria and Liam went to Ireland to stay with Barry and Helen. In the end, he returns to Ireland after making a pass at Liz.
He returned on 4 October 2013, telling Michelle initially that her mother had gone on holiday with a friend from her book club. Suspicious, Michelle rang her parents' home to check and her mother was there but insisted that Michelle ask her father why they had separated. Michelle tried to insist that her father talk to her mother but that just led to more arguments. When Michelle caught a drunk Barry trying to seduce Liz, she was furious and insists that he return to Ireland to sort things out with Helen, but Barry tries to talk his way out of it. Eventually, he gave up and admits that Helen caught Barry sleeping with one of her friends, Aoife. Michelle was angry and booked two flights to Ireland with Barry to sort it out with Helen.
On 25 May 2015, Barry and Helen returned for Michelle's wedding to Steve McDonald (Simon Gregson), where he walked Michelle down the aisle.
