The mystery surrounding Coronation Street<\/a> newcomer Jodie and Emmerdale’s<\/a> returning character Graham Foster is about to be unveiled.<\/p>\n

Their connection, and what brought them together in the Corriedale crossover, will soon be revealed on screen, with dramatic developments paving the way for a major spring storyline on Corrie.<\/p>\n

Soap boss Kate Brooks<\/a> has revealed to The Mirror that viewers will discover why Graham had Jodie bound in the rear of his van.<\/p>\n

The circumstances that brought them together, and why Jodie was desperately running for her life before Kit Green discovered her, will become clear. Kate explained: “We will reference what happened, we’ll find out exactly why she was in that van, we’ll find out what her link to Graham is.<\/p>\n

“We’ll reveal what went on between them, and how Jodie ended up running for a life and what Graham’s role was in it all. It’s a story that goes on to be really big as we get into spring and summer.”<\/p>\n

This comes as her ties to Shona Platt have been confirmed. Jodie is Shona’s sister, and their long-awaited reunion after years of separation will see the programme explore Shona’s history, reports the Mirror<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Graham’s shocking return from the grave remains unexplained. Having been killed off on Emmerdale<\/a> in 2020, his unexpected reappearance and survival has left audiences stunned.<\/p>\n

Some fans reckon they’ve worked out how he staged his death, potentially involving another character. An alternative theory suggests it might not be the genuine Graham at all.<\/p>\n

One viewer speculated: “Maybe Graham isn’t Graham,” whilst another highlighted: “Someone said the subtitles said he was Bruce! ? !” A third pondered: “Maybe it’s his twin brother? because last time we seen Graham he was very much dead.”<\/p>\n

However, some fans reckon either his former partner Rhona Goskirk or perhaps Kim Tate could have orchestrated the covert scheme to flee the village. One viewer theorised on social media: “My head canon, is that after he was ‘killed’ by Pierce, Graham pretended to be dead.<\/p>\n

“Off-screen, he phones contacts, and gets them to put makeup on him, making his body all pale, so he looks dead. Even that feels like a stretch, but I have no idea how they can justify keeping Graham alive.”<\/p>\n

Another supporter proposed: “I have never been more confused in my life because he was definitely dead.<\/p>\n

“I saw some people saying maybe it’s not actually Graham, maybe a twin. Another theory as you say could be a fake death, clearly, but someone somehow, Kim maybe?”.<\/p>\n
