Tomorrow’s episode of Emmerdale is sure to kick off with a bang after tonight’s almighty cliffhanger involving Graham Foster. In the explosive Corriedale episode, it was revealed that Graham was actually alive after being presumed dead for the last six years.

Flashback episodes of the ITV soap that have aired since explained that he faked his own death with the help of Detective Inspector Dent, after being attacked and left for dead at the hands of Pierce Harris.

He stayed away from the village to keep his loved ones safe during this time, but gave Rhona Goskirk the shock of her life when he returned and explained he knew about April Windsor’s ordeal at the hands of Ray Walters and Celia Daniels, and wanted to help.

Graham has since reconnected with his ex-girlfriend Rhona, and tonight’s episode finally saw his ex-wife, Kim Tate, and the man he considered his son, Joe Tate, discover he is actually alive.

Rhona was left furious when she found a smiling Graham waiting for her in the surgery, and demanded to know why he had ignored her repeated attempts to contact him.

But their conversation was cut short when an unexpected visitor arrives, Joe, whom Rhona had to usher out before he spotted Graham.

Graham overheard Joe discussing his newfound closeness with Kim and was visibly rattled by the news, leading him to reveal himself to the duo in dramatic fashion.

Later in the episode, Kim turned down Joe’s offer to replace her beloved horse, Ice, with another from the same gene pool, arguing that you can’t bring the dead back to life.

And as if on cue, Graham stepped from the shadows to greet the pair ahead of tomorrow’s episode, which will focus solely on Graham’s return and the effect it has on Kim and Joe.
