Emmerdale actor Andrew Scarborough, known for his role as Graham Foster, has a famous sister that fans may be surprised to learn about. The 52-year-old star has been making waves in the village since his character's dramatic return from the dead.
Graham Foster's Return to Emmerdale
Graham Foster wasted no time settling back into village life following his shocking return in January. Fans will remember that the beloved character, played by Andrew Scarborough, was presumed dead in 2020 but reappeared during the soap's crossover with Coronation Street. His comeback is tied to the mysterious arrival of Weatherfield's Jodie Ramsey (Olivia Frances-Brown), who is the estranged sister of Shona Platt (Julia Goulding).
Joe Tate (Ned Porteous) was stunned to see his father-figure alive and well, and the two now live together at Home Farm. Graham has also attempted to rekindle his romance with Rhona Goskirk (Zoe Henry) and has slept with Kim Tate (Claire King). In a recent twist, viewers are seeing a softer side of Graham as he mentors struggling teen Kyle Winchester (Huey Quinn) following his father Cain's (Jeff Hordley) battle with prostate cancer.
Andrew Scarborough on His Return
Speaking about his return, Andrew Scarborough said of the surprise comeback: "I never expected it at all. Although saying that, I did think that Graham always had a possibility of coming back." He also revealed the difficulty of keeping the secret from his family: "Oh yes, it's been a big secret, and I kept it mostly quiet from my family, which was tricky." He added that only a limited few knew: "Certainly it is on one hand, in fact I had some cousins who contacted me after it was shown, saying you sod."

One member of Andrew's family is his sister, Victoria Scarborough, who is also a well-known actress.
