Above: Tina Hobley. As Sam, she rode up on a motorbike, strut about in leather, and turned out to have a bit of a problem with sex. She managed to get over that, of course, and wound up in bed with Des. And Skinner. Obviously had a thing for bookies, which makes it lucky she left Weatherfield before Peter Barlow turned up.

Jason Grimshaw. Both the Grimshaw lads have started to look a little ragged round the edges since they arrived in Weatherfield, and Todd is clearly going to be a better date, but...

Toyah (Georgia Taylor) is just so rock and roll, it's almost as if we made her up ourselves. In Fact, we probably did. She even lost her virginity instead of watching the eclipse, which is pretty damn memorable. Oh, yeah, and Spider.
