Coronation Street boss Kate Brooks has confirmed viewers will soon discover what happened with Graham having Jodie tied up in his van and what led to their connection
Fans are finally about to discover what links Coronation Street newcomer Jodie and returning Emmerdale character Graham Foster.
The connection, and what brought them both into the Corriedale crossover, will be revealed on screen with the major twists and turns building towards a massive spring storyline on Corrie.
Soap boss Kate Brooks has revealed that viewers will discover why Graham had Jodie bound in the back of his van and uncover what caused their paths to cross, and why Jodie was left running for her life before PC Kit Green (Jacob Roberts) discovered her.
Kate Brooks revealed: “We will reference what happened, we’ll find out exactly why she was in that van, we’ll find out what her link to Graham is.

“We’ll reveal what went on between them, and how Jodie ended up running for a life and what Graham’s role was in it all. It’s a story that goes on to be really big as we get into spring and summer.”
This comes as her connection to Shona Platt has been confirmed. Jodie is Shona’s sister, and when they finally reunite after years of separation, the soap will explore Shona’s history, reports the Mirror.
Regarding Graham, his resurrection from the dead remains unexplained. Graham was killed off on Emmerdale in 2020, so his unexpected appearance and the revelation he’s alive has left viewers puzzled.
Some fans now believe they’ve worked out how he staged his death, and it could involve another character. Another theory suggests it’s not the genuine Graham.
One viewer speculated: “Maybe Graham isn’t Graham,” whilst another highlighted: “Someone said the subtitles said he was Bruce! ? !” A third chimed in: “Maybe it’s his twin brother? because last time we seen Graham he was very much dead.”
Meanwhile, certain viewers reckon either his former flame Rhona Goskirk or perhaps Kim Tate might have orchestrated the covert scheme to flee the village.
Taking to social platforms, one enthusiast theo rised: “My head canon, is that after he was ‘killed’ by Pierce, Graham pretended to be dead.
“Off-screen, he phones contacts, and gets them to put makeup on him, making his body all pale, so he looks dead. Even that feels like a stretch, but I have no idea how they can justify keeping Graham alive.”
Another supporter suggested: “I have never been more confused in my life because he was definitely dead.
“I saw some people saying maybe it’s not actually Graham, maybe a twin. Another theory as you say could be a fake death, clearly, but someone somehow, Kim maybe?”.
