List of Coronation Street characters introduced in 2015

Agnes Tinker, played by former ''Last of the Summer Wine'' actress Juliette Kaplan, made her first screen appearance on 5 January 2015. The character and casting was announced on 21 December 2014. Kaplan was initially set to appear in four episodes, but this was later extended to eight.

Agnes is Beth Tinker's (Lisa George) grandmother, who comes to Weatherfield for her wedding to Kirk Sutherland (Andrew Whyment). She arrives with her daughter Nancy (Kate Fitzgerald) and her granddaughter Arlene (Alison Burrows). The women initially mistake Jason Grimshaw (Ryan Thomas) for Kirk and are disappointed when Kirk does eventually turn up. Agnes tells Arlene's daughter, Sinead (Katie McGlynn) that she will leave everything to her when she dies. Believing Kirk is not around, Agnes, Nancy and Arlene start making unkind remarks about him and his job. Beth and Kirk get married and Agnes leaves after the reception.

A few weeks later, Sinead is badly injured in a minibus crash and Agnes returns to the Street. She attempts to calm Chesney Brown (Sam Aston) down, after he is involved in a confrontation with Steve McDonald (Simon Gregson). Agnes visits Sinead and decides to stay for a while to help out. She tells Beth, Chesney and Kirk off for not pulling their weight when it becomes obvious that Sinead did most of the housework and cooking. Provided by Wikipedia
