the <a data-ico=\"hyperlink-article\" href=\"https:\/\/metro.co.uk\/tag\/itv\/\" data-track=\"inline-tag-auto-link_article\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">ITV<\/a> soap think they\u2019ve worked out who Rhona has been reaching out to.<\/p>\n<p>Rhona\u2019s first mystery phone call took place last week, suspiciously during the same episode that <a

again rather suspicious.<\/p>\n<p>Since then, the phone calls have continued, and fans are convinced that Rhona has been contacting <a data-ico=\"hyperlink-article\"

planned to move to France together.<\/p>\n<p>However, they didn\u2019t get that far, as Graham was brutally murdered by Rhona\u2019s rapist, <a data-ico=\"hyperlink-article\"

we\u2019re meant to think it is,\u2019 one fan posted on Reddit, continuing: \u2018It seems to be every time Ray is mentioned but also seems weird it\u2019s just as Graham has returned and so I wonder if it\u2019s Graham she is speaking to and if maybe he\u2019s involved in Ray dying.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\tDon&#8217;t miss a Soaps scoop!
