Coronation Street boss Kate Brooks has confirmed that the connection between newcomer Jodie and returning Emmerdale character Graham Foster will be revealed soon. The link, which led to Jodie being tied up in Graham's van, will be explained onscreen, setting up a major spring storyline on the ITV soap.
Brooks told The Mirror: "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 her 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."
Jodie has already been confirmed as the sister of Shona Platt, and their reunion will delve into Shona's past. Meanwhile, Graham's return from the dead has left fans baffled, as he was killed off on Emmerdale in 2020. Some viewers theorise that the character may have faked his death with help from ex Rhona Goskirk or Kim Tate, while others suggest it could be a twin or an impostor.
One fan speculated: "Maybe Graham isn't Graham," while another noted subtitles referred to him as "Bruce." A third added: "Maybe it's his twin brother? Because last time we saw Graham he was very much dead." The storyline is set to unfold on Coronation Street, airing weeknights at 8:30pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
