 Hannah Barton  is the youngest child of John and Moria Barton. Hannah moved into the village in July 2009 when her parents move into the Sugden's former farm. She soon gets a crush on Andy Sugden, but he rejects her saying she is too young for him.

In December 2009, it is revealed that she is being bullied via text, however she hides this from her family who has failed to realise that she is having trouble settling in, the texts she is receiving are from classmate Kayleigh. In January 2010, Hannah confides in Victoria, whom is aware of the texts as she has been forced into sending some herself. Eventually Hannah confronts Victoria in the Woolpack loos and is hurt when Victoria admits she and Kayleigh have been sending the texts. As result to this Hannah flushes Victoria's head down the toilet. After the two are split up Hannah reveals she is being bullied. Months later Hannah forgives Victoria and the two become friends again. In August 2010, Hannah starts a relationship with Isaac Nuttall, a student. Feeling under pressure Hannah sleeps with Isaac, but is mortified to discover their contraception had failed. Because of this and Holly's drug problem they break up.

In 2011 with the arrival of Alex Moss, who is immediately attracted to Hannah, she sleeps with him but the relationship does not last and Alex deserts Hannah the next day. Alex later turns his attention to Victoria and they start a relationship, much to Hannah's disappointment and jealousy. Victoria becomes suspicious of Alex and Hannah's behaviour and Alex admits that he seduced Hannah and then left her, but Hannah gives Victoria and Alex her blessing and the two continue their relationship.
