EMMERDALE’S Kim Tate is set to get the shock of her life when her husband Graham Foster reveals he is back from the dead – after she ordered his murder.

Played by actor Andrew Scarborough, Graham returned to the Dales last week after it was revealed his character was alive in the Corriedale crossover.

Viewers watched Graham be murdered in 2020 in a high profile storyline that saw Rhona Goskirk’s ex-husband and rapist Pierce Harris bludgeon him to death.

However, it was then confirmed that in fact he faked his death and has been working as a hitman for hire ever since.

Graham’s return will come as a HUGE shock to wife Kim, as it was her who tried to have him murdered.

In a first look to the couple coming face-to-face after SIX years, Kim is heard saying in the kitchen at Home Farm: “I don’t believe you can bring the dead back to life.”

Emerging from the shadows, Graham then walks into the room and chillingly says: “That Kim, is where you are so wrong.”

The Emmerdale trailer then cuts to Kim saying: “I was there when your coffin went into the fire.”

With Graham snapping back: “But I wasn’t there!”

Fans went wild for the clip, that was posted on Instagram, with one commenting: “OMG this is getting better and better!”

Another added: “Cannot WAIT!!!”

A third said: “Ooooo this is too good!

REUNION WITH KIM

Teasing what’s to come when Graham reunites with Kim at Home Farm, actor Andrew said: “Well I think if Kim Tate can forgive Joe for harvesting an organ she can forgive Graham for coming back from the dead.

“And if he helps matters by proving himself by fixing some things for them, they will appreciate his skills and his loyalty. But it might take some months.”

He added: “I was gonna say they have a poisonous relationship, but it’s more complicated – as much as it is poisonous on paper, there is tenderness, they fight like cat and dog, but there is a lot of love there.

“So, on paper they’re poisonous, but they’re just incredibly attracted to each other, like moths to flame, and but also at the same time, they live off that flame.

“I suppose him being dead means that the marriage was cancelled. But now he’s alive, is it still legitimate? Who knows maybe this might be a plot for the future?”

BACK FROM THE DEAD

The Sun exclusively revealed how bringing Andrew’s character back from the dead was a year in the making.

We told how Graham’s big return to the Dales was shrouded in secrecy with bosses going to extreme lengths to keep it quiet.

A source told The Sun: “This was the biggest soap surprise in years and one that no-one saw coming so nothing was deemed too extreme to keep it a return.

“All the usual things happened with fake names in the scripts and closed sets but for this one poor Andrew wasn’t even allowed to go into the canteen in case he was spotted.”

Speaking about how he felt about being asked back to the soap, Andrew said: “Yes, a complete surprise.

“Very much so. I never expected it at all. Although saying that I did think that Graham always had a possibility of coming back.”

He added: “Because I always thought that Graham was capable. He was a highly trained SAS operative.

“And the way I had always played it, was that he had worked for the government. So he was into espionage and a type of ‘fixer’ for the government. So used to smoke and mirrors.

“Graham has been highly trained to do certain things like to hold one’s breath when diving, to remain motionless when being trained as a sniper, etc etc. So there are the skills there.

“Plus he is very highly connected with some of the ‘institutions’ like the government, high ranking police. So I always presumed that if anybody could come back from the dead – he could.

“And don’t forget Graham did actually arrange the false death of Joe. Proving he’s in the art of smoke and mirrors, He is in that dark, murky world. Or certainly has been.”
