Emmerdale spoilers follow.
Emmerdale’s Rhona Goskirk has a huge decision to make next week, when old flame Graham Foster offers her an ultimatum. Still convinced they can rekindle their love, Graham urges Rhona to meet him if she thinks they have a future, otherwise he’ll stay out of her life for good.
Weighing up the offer, will Rhona betray husband Marlon Dingle for another chance with her ex?
“Graham’s shock resurrection put everyone in a spin, especially Rhona,” our Emmerdale source explains. “If Graham hadn’t faked his death six years ago, would they still be together? That’s the question Rhona is asking herself – and Graham is desperate to know the answer…”
Reeling after Graham’s recent return, Rhona railed at the man she was once ready to spend the rest of her life with for letting her believe he was dead. Re-affirming his love for Rhona, Graham was crushed when she pledged herself to Marlon.

When Cain Dingle’s cancer diagnosis becomes public knowledge in upcoming scenes, Graham admits to Rhona he knew all about it, but respected Cain’s wishes to keep it quiet.
Rhona is taken aback by Graham’s confession, realising that he was attempting his own method of peacekeeping in the bitter battle between Cain and Joe Tate. Without Graham’s interference, the situation could’ve gotten even more out of hand…
“This makes Rhona start to see Graham in a different light,” our insider explains. “For someone so ruthless, Graham can be fiercely loyal and protective. Despite his dark side, he has a sense of right and wrong that Rhona used to find quite attractive.”
The former couple’s conversation leads to a charged moment of closeness, clocked by suspicious Lydia Dingle, who is watching from afar.

The following day, Lydia tells Kim Tate she saw Graham and Rhona looking very cosy. Kim pretends she couldn’t care less who her estranged husband spends his time hanging around with, though deep down she’s still conflicted by her own feelings for Graham and denying her desire.
With Graham still sniffing around Rhona, will Kim be forced to face the fact she’s probably still in love with him?
For Graham, it’s all about winning Rhona back, so he puts the latest part of his plan in motion by making her an offer he hopes she can’t refuse…
“Graham asks Rhona to meet him at 12.30pm on the footbridge so they can talk properly about their relationship,” our spy reveals. “Even though she’s turned him down numerous times, Rhona is actually tempted. If she doesn’t show up, Graham promises to drop it and leave her and Marlon alone.”
The deadline approaches and Graham anxiously waits on the bridge, praying Rhona appears. Will Rhona choose to hear him out, or reject him once and for all?
Emmerdale airs on weeknights at 8pm on ITV1, and streams on ITVX.
