Emmerdale has confirmed Joe Tate’s new targets after Joe’s returning right-hand man, Graham Foster<\/a>, stirred up trouble. <\/p>\n

In last week’s scenes, Graham had a one-night stand with Kim Tate<\/a> after believing he had been stood up by Rhona Goskirk. <\/p>\n

While Kim agreed that their dalliance was a “one-off”, she later told Lydia Dingle that things felt right between her and Graham. <\/p>\n

In tonight’s episode, Graham continued in his efforts to drive a wedge between Joe and Kim, and he told Joe that the pair had slept together. <\/p>\n

After Joe shared his disapproval, Graham said: “I’m still perplexed how you can pity a woman who once ordered me to kill you.”<\/p>\n

“It’s ancient history,” said Joe. “We’re in a different place now. And I rather think that your dying precludes you from an opinion.” <\/p>\n

Elsewhere, Kim spoke to her best friend Lydia, vowing to keep her heart closed to Graham, saying she wanted to apologise for crying about it. <\/p>\n

Kim was vulnerable with Lydia, saying: “The only thing that’s meant to be is me getting hurt again. Well, it’s not happening, Lydia. I’m too old, and too wise.”<\/p>\n

At Butlers Farm, which was recently signed over to the Tates by Moira Dingle, Joe became fed up with Graham\u2019s attempts to turn him off Kim. <\/p>\n

“She’s got you right where she wants you. An errand boy. A scapegoat,” a frustrated Graham told Joe. <\/p>\n

Joe replied: “Ok, seriously, this is your last chance. Do not make me choose between you and Kim. Go home. Face her.”<\/p>\n

Later, Graham tried to change Joe’s mind by showing him a copy of Kim’s will, which revealed that Lydia, not Joe, was first in line to inherit Home Farm.<\/p>\n

When Kim turned up with Lydia and Sam in tow, Graham prepared them some drinks, calling Lydia “a guest” and “part of the family”. <\/p>\n

After they left the room, Joe told Graham: “Don’t joke about this. This stays between you and I.”<\/p>\n

Joe thanked Graham for bringing the will to his attention. Has the discovery set him on a vendetta against Kim and Lydia?<\/p>\n

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