It’s quite the return Graham Foster (Andrew Scarborough) is having in Emmerdale.

While trying to rekindle his fatherly relationship with Joe Tate (Ned Porteous), become a surprise support for cancer-suffering Cain Dingle (Jeff Hordley) and have a feisty frisson with ex Kim Tate (Claire King), he still finds time to declare his undying love for married Rhona Goskirk (Zoe Henry).

Does this man ever sleep, or was it part of his SAS training to remain forever awake?

In the midst of everything going on, Graham took the time to tell Rhona that he never stopped loving her. It backfired in a way he didn’t expect as not only did she rebuff him, but she immediately told Marlon Dingle (Mark Charnock) what Graham had said.

That in turn led to an unexpected confrontation from Marlon to Graham telling him to back off his wife. Slightly cringe, but good on Marlon for giving it a go.

But as Graham has come back from the dead, he’s not someone who gives up. And he senses as much as we do that Rhona hasn’t totally closed the book on that chapter.

Graham reveals to Rhona that he knew about Cain’s diagnosis. Strategic, as it tells her he still has his human side and is more dimensional than just Joe Tate’s Lackie.

Rhona thinks on this and meets up with Graham the next day, which is a dangerous game as Lydia Dingle (Karen Blick) spots the charged moment between them.

Despite being a Dingle, Lydia doesn’t keep this gossip in the family and instead runs straight to Kim.

Kim tries to keep a poker face, but something seems to hurt – is that jealousy we see?

Unaware of Kim’s growing green-eyed monster, Graham wants to push things forward with Rhona and issues her with an ultimatum – meet him on the bridge at 12 or he’ll remove himself from her life for good.
