Graham and Jodie’s connection finally becomes clear in long overdue explanation

When Emmerdale favourite Graham Foster appeared alive in Corriedale, once we’d got over the shock, we had big questions over why he had a woman called Jodie tied up in the back of his van.

Weeks we’ve waited for the reason and what their connection actually is. But we have yet to be told anything. In fact, when he was quizzed as to what he was doing during Corriedale he clammed up and refused to answer.

All of which makes the mystery even more juicy!

So when will we get answers?

Graham had Jodie tied up in the back of his van in Emmerdale and Coronation Street crossover

In Corriedale on Monday January 5 there was a mystery man with an unknown woman tied up in his van.

During the crash, his van got caught up in the aftermath. But it wasn’t until Joe Tate arrived at the scene when the man got out of his vehicle. There was a huge explosion and Joe fell back and hit his head. And when he woke up, he clearly saw something he couldn’t explain.

By the time the mystery man got back to his van, he discovered the woman he had tied up was gone. And he wasn’t happy about it.

However, he seemed to be more concerned with making sure Joe was okay. He was next seen at the hospital watching Joe’s room. And that’s when we finally got to see his face. The one and only, Graham Foster.

Graham made a phone call, explaining to someone that he has something else he needs to do, and that the woman got away.

We now know that woman was Jodie, the sister of Coronation Street’s Shona Platt. But we have absolutely no idea how she and Graham are connected.

We again got a glimpse of Jodie when Graham came back to help Rhona. After he had beat up Ray, Rhona called Graham off so we saw him get back in his van and tell Jodie they were getting on their way. That led us to the Corriedale crash.

An explanation is coming!

Despite the fact Graham has refused to talk about anything to do with that night, and Corrie hasn’t given us a single clue either, we now know they haven’t forgotten about it.

Olivia Frances Brown who plays Jodie in Corrie, recently told Radio Times answers are on their way.

“Eventually, you will [find out],” she confirmed when quizzed on the Jodie Graham connection.

“I can’t give away too much right now, but it will all become clear in time.

“I can’t say how long, how much time, but eventually, if you keep watching, you’ll find out why.”

Phew!

Until then we’ll just have to keep on guessing!
