List of Emmerdale characters introduced in 2001

Emmerdale is a British soap opera first broadcast on 16 October 1972. The following is a list of characters that first appeared in the show in 2001, by order of first appearance. All characters were introduced by series producer Steve Frost.

Andrew Fraser was an employee at the stud farm at Home Farm, who was employed by Zoe Tate (Leah Bracknell). Andrew began a relationship with Kathy Glover (Malandra Burrows), but was heartbroken when she left Emmerdale for Australia in December 2001. Andrew then left himself in January 2002.

Ed Wills was the boyfriend of Emily Dingle (Kate McGregor), who she met at St. Mary's Church. They briefly lost contact, but Nicola Blackstock (Nicola Wheeler) encouraged her to find him. Ed liked how Emily allowed him to talk endlessly without telling him to stop. Emily also believed that Ed was a messenger for her late husband Butch Dingle (Paul Loughran), which Ed understood, believing it could be possible as well.

Cynthia Daggert and her son, Danny (Cleveland Campbell), only arrived in Emmerdale in June, but already their troubles are piling up. Life got seriously out of hand for the family when Cynthia's heavily pregnant daughter, Latisha (Danielle Henry), joined them. Meanwhile, Cynthia came to blows with Carol Wareing in The Woolpack and the misfortune continued when Latisha goes into labour before even finding her family. Luckily, Jason Kirk happened to be passing and found himself delivering the baby.

After Carol Wareing had shown the family the door at the B&B, they were taken in by Bernice (Samantha Giles) and Ashley Thomas (John Middleton). However, the presence of Latisha's new baby jeopardised this arrangement, adding to Cynthia's trials. "Cynthia was unaware that Bernice has suffered a miscarriage," Kay continued "She only found out after asking if Latisha and the baby can stay and she's absolutely mortified. So Cynthia told the kids to look for anything going, and when Danny found an unused holiday cottage, Cynthia reluctantly moved the family in as squatters – although she really didn't want to break the law." However, the police soon arrived at the cottage following a tip-off. When Cynthia discovered it was Carol who gave them the information, the pair's already stormy relationship reached flashpoint and they came to blows in The Woolpack.

Barbara Hope made her first appearance on 13 June 2001, played by an uncredited actress. Julie Dawn Cole took over the role when the character returned in 2006. Barbara is Bob Hope's ex-wife, and the mother of Josh Hope and Carly Hope.

Josh Hope is the son of Bob Hope (Tony Audenshaw). He appeared in 2001 and 2006.

Josh is Bob's son by his second marriage, to Barbara. He first appears in 2001, as a young teenager, when Bob visits him and his sister Carly. He returns in 2006 as an 18-year-old for his father's remarriage to Viv Hope (Deena Payne). He only arrives, with Carly and mother Barbara, because Bob pretends to be going blind in an attempt to be reunited with his children. However, the truth soon comes out and they nearly leave the village before the wedding. However, they stay and leave after the wedding, but on good terms with Bob.
