SOAP SHOCK Emmerdale icon makes shock return to the village six years after being brutally murdered
AN EMMERDALE icon has made a shock return to the village tonight after returning from the dead.
The ITV soap stunned fans earlier this month when the character was revealed to be alive six years after they were murdered on screen.
Actor Andrew Scarborough resumed his role as Graham Foster in the Corriedale crossover with Coronation Street.
Viewers watched as a hooded Graham was seen transporting a woman in the back of a van.
She was bound and gagged and fled when Graham got caught up in the car crash pile-up.
Corrie fans know the woman is Shona Platt’s sister Jodie but it hasn’t been revealed how she is connected to Graham.

But in today’s episode of the soap, Graham was seen in the village for the first time.
The episode is the first of a run of special episodes looking at the whodunnit of who murdered gangster Ray Walters.
And at the end of today’s episode Graham can be seen watching evil Ray taunting Laurel Thomas’ son Arthur.
The details of how Graham survived his apparent murder have been kept a closely-guarded secret, but soap boss Laura Shaw has confirmed he is back full-time.
“A familiar face is returning to the village full-time!” she said.
“None other than Graham Foster will make a sensational comeback.

“His return will have massive repercussions for both Kim, with whom he shares a complex love and hate relationship, and Rhona, who was about to run away with him.
“Graham will explain exactly what happened six years ago when he was ‘killed’, but the question will be whether Joe can ever forgive his father-figure for allowing him to believe he was dead.”
