List of Emmerdale characters introduced in 2005

The following is a list of characters that first appeared in the British soap opera Emmerdale in 2005, by order of first appearance. All characters were introduced by the soap's executive producer, Keith Richardson.

Max King, portrayed by Charlie Kemp, arrives in the village after backpacking with his girlfriend to attend his father's ill-fated wedding to Charity Dingle (Emma Atkins). He then gets a job at Paddy Kirk's (Dominic Brunt) vet practice to support more travelling ventures. However, he is conned by his father in order to get land. Tom uses Max's position as a vet to poison the animals kept by the owners who refused to sell the land.

After having been bullied into poisoning the Briggs family's calves by Tom, a guilty Max decides to leave the village, sick and tired of his father's chicanery. He and Robert Sugden (Karl Davies) plan to leave Emmerdale and drive to London, but Robert's adopted brother Andy (Kelvin Fletcher) gets into a fight with Robert. Max breaks up the fight and decides that he did not want to go with Robert. He gets into Andy's Land Rover and asks him to drive him to the railway station. Robert, who had driven off, turns his car round and drove straight at them, causing Max to grab the steering wheel and send the vehicle off the road, through a stone wall and onto its roof. Andy makes a quick escape assisted by Robert, but Max becomes trapped in the car and is killed when fuel stored in the back explodes.

Phyllis King is Tom King's (Kenneth Farrington) aunt. She is the sister of Tom's father Albert, Phyllis first appears for Tom's ill-fated wedding to Charity Dingle (Emma Atkins). Often complaining, Phyllis only seems happy to see her favourite great-nephew Carl (Tom Lister). She returns later in October 2005 for Max’s funeral and in February 2007 for Tom's funeral. She made her most recent appearance at Jimmy King's (Nick Miles) ill-fated wedding to Kelly Windsor (Adele Silva) in October 2007.

It is very likely that Phyllis has died since 2007 as she hasn't attended any family events since, such as her favourite great-grand nephew, Carl King's (Tom Lister) wedding to Lexi Nicholls (Sally Oliver) in 2009, or his funeral after being murdered by Cameron Murray (Dominic Power) in 2012, or Jimmy King's (Nick Miles) wedding to Nicola De Souza (Nicola Wheeler) in 2010. Sheila Burrell, who played Phyllis, died in 2011.

Libby Charles was the girlfriend of Andy Sugden (Kelvin Fletcher). She appeared in 2005.

Libby and her sister Tamsin (Jenny Gleave) are first glimpsed on horseback by Andy and his younger brother Daz (Luke Tittensor). The sisters come from money, and Libby asks Andy about renting out his stables. Andy hopes for a date, but is disappointed to learn she has a boyfriend. Libby begins working as a receptionist at the vets and has to fend off the flirtations of Max King (Charlie Kemp). When she loses interest in her boyfriend, she begins dating Andy. She's rattled when she learns he had a relationship with underage Debbie Dingle (Charley Webb), but she and Andy become closer and closer, with Libby even planning to open a business on his farm, giving pony rides to children. Their happy relationship ends when Andy learns Debbie has given birth to his child. Andy wants to do right by the baby, so he breaks up with Libby to be with Debbie. Libby puts up a good front, but is clearly hurt. A few weeks later, she announces her plans to spend the summer in Italy with her sister Tamsin. She offers to give Paddy Kirk (Dominic Brunt) her notice, but he fires her with immediate effect and she leaves.

Kayleigh Gibbs was a friend of Victoria Sugden.
