Emmerdale has lined up a major 2017 throwback in Graham Foster’s storyline following his shock return<\/a> in the hour-long Corriedale<\/a> crossover special. Despite seemingly being killed off by Pierce Harris<\/a> back in 2020, Andrew Scarborough reprised his role as Graham last month and has been stirring things up ever since. <\/p>\n

Graham was introduced to the soap back in 2017 as Joe Tate’s loyal co-conspirator\/manservant and it now looks as though the job as Joe’s right-hand-man is up for grabs again. <\/p>\n

In tonight’s episode, a shocked Gabby and Lydia entered Home Farm where they came face-to-face with Graham. <\/p>\n

Joe and Graham decided to get ahead of the rumour mill by heading to The Woolpack, revealing to all that Graham was alive. <\/p>\n

After their shocking entrance, Sam said he barely recognised Graham as he used to always wear a suit, with Joe replying: “Only when he’s working for me.”<\/p>\n

Later, Graham turned up at Home Farm wearing a suit, with Joe asking if it meant he was back working for him. Graham said he had a meeting at the bank, asking Joe: “Why, what were you thinking?”<\/p>\n

Joe replied: “Nothing. Only, the position is still available.”<\/p>\n

Graham said he would “polish up” his CV, hinting that the pair would be reigniting their old dynamic sometime soon. <\/p>\n

Also in tonight’s episode, Graham and Caleb Milligan crossed paths<\/a> and it was revealed that the pair had already met. How they know each other has yet to be revealed. He also bumped into Ryan Stocks<\/a>, who he previously locked in a shed. <\/p>\n

That particular storyline occurred in January 2020. With Ryan being a computer expert, Graham sought his skills to help him steal Kim’s money so he could start a new life with Rhona away from Emmerdale. <\/p>\n

However, the surprise partnership turned nasty and Ryan found himself threatened by Graham and locked in a hut at the outdoor pursuits centre. Will the pair bury the hatchet?<\/p>\n

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