List of Coronation Street characters introduced in 2000
The following is a list of characters that first appeared in the ITV soap opera Coronation Street in 2000, by order of first appearance.
Debs Brownlow is the hairdresser sister of Natalie Barnes (Denise Welch) who first appears in The Rovers Return after working on a cruise ship for a number of years. She soon begins a relationship with resident Duggie Ferguson (John Bowe), despite his hesitation due to the memory of his dead wife Laura. Debs supports Natalie when the body of her murdered son Tony Horrocks (Lee Warburton) is discovered, and subsequently in August 2000 when gangster Jez Quigley (Lee Boardman) stands trial for the killing. Debs soon tires of Duggie's reluctance to have sex with her and has a one-night stand with Dev Alahan (Jimmi Harkishin) in April 2000.
Debs reunites with Duggie and they consummate their union. In October 2000, Duggie moves into No. 6 with her but she soon tires of him prioritising work over her and she orders him out. When Debs shares her relationship woes with Natalie's boyfriend Vinny Sorrell (James Gaddas) over a bottle of wine they sleep together. Duggie catches them in the act and tells a devastated Natalie. She throws Debs out of No. 6 and she subsequently leaves Weatherfield with new lover Vinny, returning to her old work on the cruise ship.
Dennis Stringer was played by Charles Dale. Dennis is introduced in February 2000 and develops from a biker close friend of Les Battersby (Bruce Jones) into the partner of Eileen Grimshaw (Sue Cleaver) later in 2000.
In late 2001 Dennis and Janice Battersby (Vicky Entwistle) form an affair and leave their respective partners to live together. Following this, Les attempts suicide by getting drunk and gassing himself in his car on 1 January (New Year's Day) 2002. Dennis tracks him down and prevents the suicide, but while driving Les to hospital, crashes head on into another car. Les suffers minor injuries but Dennis is badly injured, died in hospital shortly afterwards. Janice's daughter Toyah (Georgia Taylor) and Les both give readings at his funeral.
Geena Gregory is played by Jennifer James. Suranne Jones, who would later be cast as Karen McDonald, also auditioned for the role, though had a suspicion she would lose to James after seeing her at the audition.
Geena arrives when friend Vinny Sorrell (James Gaddas) needs help in the Rovers Return. She is well qualified for the job and her good looks and cheeky banter make her popular with the customers. She is made maid of honour at friend Linda Sykes' (Jacqueline Pirie) wedding to Mike Baldwin (Johnny Briggs), and although she knows about her affair with Mike's son Mark Redman (Paul Fox), Geena remained loyal to Linda and said nothing.
Geena has a complicated love life. Dev Alahan (Jimmi Harkishin) proposes to her but her mother, Gill, is determined to put a stop to it and set him up with Karen. Her plan fails, but Geena breaks off their engagement when she discovers he cheated on her with his employee Deirdre Rachid (Anne Kirkbride). She is soon seduced by handsome former prison convict, Joe Carter (Jonathan Wrather), and the two enjoy a fun relationship until a jealous Dev goads Joe into beating him up. Joe is scared of going back to prison and admits he loves Geena. By this time, she has completely fallen in love with him and agrees to talk to Dev. Dev tells Joe that if he is to end his relationship with Geena publicly, he would drop the assault charges against him. Joe does so and Geena is left shattered and humiliated by two men who claimed to love her. She flees the street after saying her goodbyes to her friend, Shelley Unwin (Sally Lindsay).
