'''Eileen Pollock''' is the first wife of [[Eric Pollard]] ([[Chris Chittell]]). She arrives in Emmerdale after reading about the [[Emmerdale plane crash]] and the death of Eric's second wife [[Elizabeth Feldmann]] (Kate Dove). She threatens to expose Eric as a bigamist until he pays her off for a divorce. She then leaves the village and they divorce after 30 years of marriage, although they have only been together for a short amount of time during the marriage itself.
 
In November 2018, Eric reveals to [[Chas Dingle]] ([[Lucy Pargeter]]) that he and Eileen parted ways after their son, Edward, was born [[stillborn]] in 1978. The grief of their loss led to them leading separate lives, and ultimately Eric abandoning Eileen, changing his name and not seeing her again until 1994. He advises Chas to not let her and her partner [[Paddy Kirk]] ([[Dominic Brunt]]) drift apart like he and Eileen did after their newborn baby dies.

'''Reg Dawson''' is the first husband of [[Viv Hope|Viv Windsor]] ([[Deena Payne]]) and father of [[Scott Windsor]] (Toby Cockerell). He first appeared on 5 May 1994.
 
Reg, who abandoned Scott and Viv early in Scott's life, arrives in Emmerdale to see Scott after serving time in prison. His stay causes friction with [[Vic Windsor|Vic]] ([[Alun Lewis (actor)|Alun Lewis]]), Viv's current husband after Reg declares that he is going to get Viv and Scott back. Reg eventually leaves. Several days later, Reg and his gang commit an armed robbery on the post office and take Viv and [[Shirley Turner (Emmerdale)|Shirley Turner]] ([[Rachel Davies]]) hostage at Home Farm. The situation worsens when Reg shoots and kills one of his henchmen [[#Simmy|Simmy]] (Stuart St. Paul), mistaking him for a police officer. Later into the siege, Viv argues with Reg and he is about to shoot her when Shirley jumps in the way of the gun and takes the bullet and dies instantly. Viv then tries to get Reg to give himself up and tells him she will say Shirley's death is an accident. Reg, realising there is no way out, plans for him and Viv to die together in a suicide pact. Before this can happen, a police marksman shoots Reg dead. In his will, he leaves Viv several thousand pounds, but a stipulation said she had to leave her current husband, to receive the money. She declines and stays with Vic.

'''Francis "Butch" Dingle ''', played by [[Paul Loughran]], arrived in the village in August 1994 to confront [[Luke McAllister]] ([[Noah Huntley]]), who Butch believed was responsible for the death of his brother [[Ben Dingle|Ben]] (Steve Fury). Butch caused trouble for Luke for the remainder of the year in revenge.
 
Butch got his nickname because at six years old he had come home from school with some flowers which he wanted to dry and press in a book. His father [[Zak Dingle|Zak]] ([[Steve Halliwell]]) was concerned that his son was too sensitive so he started calling him "Butch" in an attempt to get him to behave more like a man. As a result of this, Butch felt he was unable to develop as a person properly and unable to express his true feelings and he became a bully and troublemaker during his early years on the show.
 
However, he mellowed as the years went by around in late 1995 or early 1996 and lost his virginity to nanny [[Sophie Wright (Emmerdale)|Sophie Wright]] (Jane Cameron) when they were drunk at New Year 1996/1997. Butch later began stalking Sophie as he couldn't handle her rejection. Butch also had an obsession with his cousin [[Mandy Dingle]] ([[Lisa Riley]]). In November 1998, he married Mandy but she only went through with it for financial gain and not because she loved him. Butch felt himself in love with her and was sad that his feelings were not reciprocated. Butch later divorced Mandy and fell in love with [[Emily Kirk|Emily Wylie]] ([[Kate McGregor]]). Emily and Butch had a lot in common and both considered themselves to be misfits. Emily decided to stay in Emmerdale with Butch rather than leave the village with her father.
 
Butch died in hospital of injuries sustained in the bus crash on 24 March 2000. Butch had been a passenger in the community bus when it was hit by an out-of-control lorry driven by [[Pete Collins]] (Kirk Smith). Before dying, Butch married Emily on his death bed. Butch was buried next to his brother, Ben, who died nearly six years earlier. The epitaph on their tombstone is 'Dead but still Dingles'.{{clear|right}}
 
NB: In a continuity error, whilst reminiscing after Zak's funeral in 2024, Sam Dingle stated that Butch's real name was Seth.

'''Harry Barker''' is the uncle of [[Kim Tate]] who arrives in the village on her wedding day to [[Frank Tate (Emmerdale)|Frank Tate]] to give her away.
 
He strikes up a friendship with [[Seth Armstrong]] and [[Zoe Tate]]. He gets drunk in the build-up to the ceremony, and the wedding party soon realize that he is withholding something. After nearly collapsing, he tells Kim that he is nervous about giving her away and admits that he is too drunk to do it. Seth then decides to give her away instead, and Harry watches on at the church as Frank and Kim remarry, although Frank is confused as to why Harry was not walking Kim down the aisle.
 
He leaves Emmerdale shortly afterwards, and does not attend Kim's 'funeral' in 1997.

'''Tina Marie Dingle''' is the youngest child of [[Zak Dingle|Zak]] ([[Steve Halliwell]]) and [[Nellie Dingle]] ([[Sandra Gough]]/Maggie Tagney). She arrived in the village a few months after her family. Her most famous storyline was in July 1995 when she was going to marry [[Luke McAllister]] ([[Noah Huntley]]), claiming to be pregnant with his child. However, this proved to be fake, to get revenge for the death of her brother, [[Ben Dingle|Ben]] (Steve Fury), the year before. A few days later, Luke kidnapped her and took her on a mad van drive through the village. She dived out of the van and Luke was killed moments later in an explosion when the van crashed into a wall. 1996 saw Tina caught in a love triangle with [[Frank Tate (Emmerdale)|Frank Tate]] ([[Norman Bowler]]) and [[Steve Marchant]] ([[Paul Opacic]]). She left on Christmas Eve that year as she was sick of being caught in the middle and potentially ending up like Frank's wife [[Kim Tate|Kim]] ([[Claire King]]), as well as her family life not going anywhere. Her last line was to her cousin and best friend Mandy Dingle, "No, I'm finished here now. I'll see you Mand." Tina then gets in her car and drives out of the village, as the song "[[Moving On Up (M People song)|Moving On Up]]" by [[M People]] plays on the car radio.
 
In 1998, writers from ''Inside Soap'' published an article about the top ten characters they wanted to return to soap. Tina was featured and they described her as "the bitchy daughter of Zak and Nellie, whose combination of guile and Dingle cunning made her the perfect match for Kim Tate." They added that over time Tina reinvented herself as a "high-flying businesswoman."<ref>{{cite journal |title=10 stars we wish would come back |journal=[[Inside Soap]] |date=30 May - 12 June 1998 |issue=102 |pages=28, 29 |publisher=(Attic Futura UK)}}</ref>

On 17 October 2024, Tina made an unannounced return to ''Emmerdale'' for her father's funeral with the role was recast to ''[[Brassic]]'' star Samantha Power.<ref name="Return">{{cite news|title=Who is Emmerdale star Samantha Power?

She was absolutely fantastic, I remember her character vividly! So I am very lucky to get the chance to pick up where she left off!"<ref name="Return"/> Revealing more on the Tina of 2024, the actress added: "She is feisty, bolshy, selfish and she always seems to have an agenda and won’t stop at anything to get what she wants! Well, she has no filters and she will literally do anything to make sure she gets her way including her claim to the house. She is not one to be trusted! I loved it!"<ref name="Return"/> In an interview with ''[[Radio Times]]'', Power discussed stepping into Tina's shoes: "I was so nervous. It’s an iconic role to fill so I wanted to do it justice. My husband said he had never known me to be this nervous! My first scene on my first day was at the graveside with ALL the Dingles! That’s a lot right! Luckily everyone was so nice and welcoming. I have to say a special shout out to [[Lisa Riley]], the nicest human being! When I met her at the screen test I felt so safe, she couldn’t have been more giving and supportive and encouraging and that continued daily on set. I loved working with her!"<ref name="Return"/> Tina's return is only a guest appearance, but Power added that "Tina is just fantastic to play so I would love the opportunity to come back and cause more mischief".<ref name="Return"/>
 
On 16 October 2024, the day before Tina returned to the village, [[Jeff Hordley]], who plays her half-brother [[Cain Dingle]], appeared on ITV's ''[[Lorraine]]''. He teased Power's arrival in the soap: "I can tell you that she's a good friend of some of us in the cast. [[Zoë Henry]]'s worked with her on stage. [[William Ash (actor)|William Ash]] and I have done a play with her. So it was really great to welcome this character to the show and she's very, very good indeed."<ref>{{cite news|title=Emmerdale airs major Dingle family return in early ITVX release|url=https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/emmerdale/a62633998/emmerdale-spoilers-dingle-family-return-october-2024/|last=Kilkelly|first=Daniel|date=12 October 2024|work=[[Digital Spy]]}}</ref> On 19 October 2024, Pirie – now Chadwick, who previously played Tina – spoke out about Tina's recast, taking to X: "So many questions regarding Tina Dingle's return," she began.
