Of all the recent shocking Emmerdale events, Graham Foster (Andrew Scarborough) resurrecting himself took the biscuit.

While the locals try to get their heads around their village having been the site for a modern slavery operation, they are in for a surprise when Graham reveals he hasn’t been dead for six years after all.

Most people thought Graham bit the dust when Pierce seemed to very definitely murder him; hitting him with a car, pushing him off a cliff, all the usual fatal moves. But it was not so. Graham had secretly got up, dusted himself off, and lived to see another day. Sneaky.

This only came to light when he showed up in Corriedale with a mysterious woman tied up in the back of his van, who turned out to be a Corrie newcomer. But Graham appears to have decided to sack off that plan and turn his attention back to the village he once knew well – and one very particular inhabitant.

Rhona Goskirk (Zoe Henry) is a wee bit shocked to find Graham stood in front of her at the surgery, but not nearly as shocked as everyone else – because it seems she already knew he was alive.

Yep, supersleuth fans were on the money when they guessed it was Graham’s phone she was blowing up. And the naughty little undead is now in her bad books for not responding to her.

Their conversation is cut short by an interruption – Joe Tate (Ned Porteous) of all people, walks in. Graham does his best to hide but listens as a wide-eyed Joe tells Rhona he swears he saw Graham’s doppelganger in the village.

As Joe leaves, Graham steps out of the shadows perturbed to have heard that Joe is now Kim Tate’s (Claire King) bestie.

Up at Home Farm, Joe tries to offer Kim a new horse from Ice’s bloodline, but she tells him that you can’t bring the dead back to life. That’s Graham’s cue – and pulls his signature move by stepping out of the shadows to give everyone in the near vicinity a heart attack.
