Overview
- Producer Laura Shaw confirms Graham Foster is returning to the village full-time and says his reappearance will carry major consequences for Kim, Rhona and Joe.
- Graham’s on-screen return begins in Monday’s episode, launching a run of special installments tied to the whodunnit surrounding gangster Ray Walters.
- The twist was first teased in a Coronation Street–Emmerdale crossover where a hooded Graham drove a van holding a bound woman later identified as Jodie.
- Graham had been believed murdered in 2020 by Pierce Harris and was thought to have been cremated, a history now set to be addressed on screen.
- Actor Andrew Scarborough says the production used strict secrecy, including a six-month code name on scripts and special studio entrances, to keep the comeback hidden.
