Let G be a finite group and let ψ be an (ordinary) irreducible character of a normal subgroup N. If ψ extends to a character of G then ψ is invariant under G, but the converse is false. In section 3 it is shown that if ψ extends coherently to the intermediate groups H for which H/N is elementary, then ψ extends to G. If N is a Hall subgroup, then in order for ψ to extend to G it is sufficient that ψ be invariant under G. This leads to a construction of the characters of G from the characters of N and the characters of the subgroups of G/N in this case.
