Emmerdale spoilers<\/a> follow from Friday’s episode (6 February)<\/a>, which is available to watch now on ITVX<\/a> and YouTube<\/a> but hasn’t yet aired on ITV1.<\/p>\n

Emmerdale’s Gabby Thomas makes her first on-screen appearance of the year tonight \u2013 and discovers huge changes have taken place at Home Farm in her absence. With Graham Foster now living at the mansion<\/a> following his shock return from the dead<\/a>, it seems nobody bothered to alert Gabby in advance.<\/p>\n

Gabby headed away from the village<\/a> shortly before Christmas, travelling off to Portugal to spend some time with her mum Bernice Blackstock. This meant that Gabby missed Kim’s downward spiral<\/a> over the festive season, her family’s involvement in the Ray Walters murder case<\/a>, and Graham’s jaw-dropping comeback.<\/p>\n

In Friday’s episode, Gabby finally arrives home and can’t believe her eyes when she sees Graham casually sitting in Kim’s kitchen.<\/p>\n

“You’re dead,” declares a confused Gabby, dropping the Portuguese tea set that she’s bought as a present for Kim.<\/p>\n

Gabby isn’t alone in her reaction – Lydia Dingle is also at Home Farm for the first time in a while, after taking a few days off. She’s just as stunned to see Graham alive and well.<\/p>\n

The chaotic scenes encourage Graham to finally take the bull by the horns and announce his return to the entire village at once. It’s clear that the current drip-feed approach is only dragging out the situation, forcing Graham to explain the outrageous story over and over.<\/p>\n

Graham and Joe head to The Woolpack to spend some time out in public together – in full view of characters like Charity Dingle, Ryan Stocks and Billy Fletcher. How will they all react to the revelation that Graham didn’t really die in 2020<\/a>?<\/p>\n

“Graham’s ‘murder’ sent the village into a tailspin all those years ago,” our Emmerdale source said recently. “Innocent suspects were grilled and Marlon was even falsely imprisoned.<\/p>\n

“No-one can believe Graham is alive after everything they went through\u2026”<\/p>\n

The insider added: “Billy actually found Graham’s corpse. But now he’s face-to-face with the man he thought had died.<\/p>\n

“Graham had made several enemies by the time he departed Emmerdale, and now all eyes are on him to explain his miraculous recovery.”<\/p>\n

Emmerdale airs on weeknights at 8pm on ITV1, and streams on ITVX<\/a>.<\/p>\n
