When Emmerdale boss Laura Shaw cryptically told me last year that Corriedale<\/a> was just the beginning of a massive 2026 for the show, I was intrigued \u2013 and she has certainly been true to her promise. <\/p>\n

Since the car-pile up that collided the Dales cast with that Coronation Street lot, we have seen Graham Foster (Andrew Scarborough) return<\/a> from the dead, Bear Wolf (Joshua Richards) kill Ray Walters (Joe Absolom)<\/a>, and Cain Dingle<\/a> (Jeff Hordley<\/a>) be diagnosed with cancer.<\/p>\n

And a fresh preview confirms that it won\u2019t be dying down yet, with the producer teasing an abundance of \u2018top-tier television\u2019.<\/p>\n

Ahead in the show, we have Victoria Sugden<\/a> (Isabel Hodgins<\/a>) facing the aftermath of killing John (Oliver Farnworth<\/a>), Moira Dingle (Natalie J Robb) fighting for her freedom and Kim Tate (Claire King) getting the shock of her life. <\/p>\n

\t\t\"Graham
\n\t\tWell, well, well\u2026 (Picture: ITV)<\/p>\n

The first of four major previews delves into the exciting saga of Graham finally revealing himself to the village that thinks he is dead. <\/p>\n

The suave SAS adonis will show up at Home Farm, leaving Joe Tate (Ned Porteous) utterly reeling. <\/p>\n

Joe has been up to no good \u2013 will Graham put him in his place, or will they unite once more? <\/p>\n

And as for Kim, there\u2019s inevitably going to be ructions there. <\/p>\n

Describing the relationship as \u2018poisonous but loving\u2019, Andrew hints that there is unfinished business. <\/p>\n

Well. She DID try and have him assassinated which is a bit awkward. <\/p>\n

\t\t\"Cain

Meanwhile, Cain faces his treatment options following an official diagnosis. <\/p>\n

But that\u2019s not the only hardship he is facing, sadly. Does his future look bleak? <\/p>\n
