The Kabin made its debut in the programme in June, providing the residents with a regular newsagent and cafe. An investment of Len Fairclough's, Rita Littlewood was installed as manageress, who then hired Mavis Riley as assistant, with Thelma Barlow following up her brief appearances in 1971 and 1972 for a longer stint. Rita's brassiness, played against Mavis's dithering eccentricity, would form one of the programme's best-loved and most enduring double acts.

Anne Kirkbride and Judith Barker also joined the regular cast, with Barker's character Janet Reid marrying Ken Barlow off-screen, and Kathy Jones and Kathy Staff appeared fleetingly as Tricia Hopkins and her mother Vera in September. Departures included Diana Davies as Norma Ford and Patricia Phoenix as Elsie Howard, both of which occurred off-screen. Phoenix quit the series while on holiday, claiming to be bored with her role, and did not return to record exit scenes.
