Hot Shocking Update!! Emmerdale confirms unexpected love interest for Graham

The following article contains spoilers from the episode of Emmerdale dated March 12. It hasn’t aired on ITV1 yet, but can be viewed on ITVX.

He’s a man of mystery, but a hurt Graham Foster (Andrew Scarborough) is just like any other character in Emmerdale – he searches for comfort in the wrong place.

Yesterday, the character witnessed Tracy Shankley (Amy Walsh) getting overwhelmed at the news of Cain Dingle’s (Jeff Hordley) cancer diagnosis. Given his father died

as a result of prostate cancer, Graham knows what Cain and his family are going through right now, and did his best to try and make Tracy feel better.

That evening, Rhona Goskirk (Zoe Henry) wondered why Graham was residing at Home Farm and spending time with Kim Tate (Claire King) when he’s such a decent man.

He explained that he was only there for Joe Tate (Ned Porteous), leaving Rhona to wonder what else Graham actually wants now he’s back in the village.

Graham hoped that Rhona would meet with him to talk about their dynamic 

He got closer to her and made it clear that he wanted her. Rhona has previously told just about everyone in the village that she’s not interested in Graham, but the look on her face and the length of time she gazed into his eyes suggested otherwise.

Graham and his one and only tie (seriously can the man do some shopping) was back at Smithy Cottage in today’s episode and asked Rhona if they were going to do anything about their obvious chemistry.

Graham told Rhona that he’d wait for her on the footbridge in a few hours and if she’s there, they can talk about their dynamic.

Rhona had every intention of meeting Graham, but got distracted due to daughter Ivy injuring herself at nursery. As soon as she was back though, she got Vanessa Woodfield (Michelle Hardwick) to watch Ivy as she raced across the village.

When she got there, Graham was nowhere to be seen.

Lydia witnesses the exchange between Graham and Rhona  

He was back at Home Farm drowning his sorrows with a fresh glass of water. As someone who also doesn’t drink alcohol, I like to mix things up and pour a glass of orange juice when I’m heartbroken but you do you Graham.

The door went and a certain someone entered. Her dislike towards Graham suddenly didn’t exist in this moment though, as all she could focus on was the argument she just had with someone else in the village.

Graham poured some alcohol and then started coming onto the character. They ended up going upstairs, with Graham failing to spot a phone call coming in from Rhona.
