The ITV soap showed the events that caused Kim Tate to be poisoned at her dinner with the Dingles
Emmerdale has confirmed that it was Graham Foster behind Kim Tate’s dinner date poisoning this whole time.
As viewers will recall, Kim found herself in hospital after being poisoned during a dinner with the Dingles where her and Lydia hoped to build bridges between the two families.
While Kim suspected Joe Tate might have had something to do with it, viewers of the ITV soap now know that Graham was the one responsible for poisoning her after the bombshell dropped in tonight’s (Wednesday April 1) episode.

While Kim remains unaware – believing her condition was simply an accidental overdose of her pain medication – the audience saw Graham make a mysterious phone call after tampering with her medicine cupboard. Referring to Kim as a “pain in the neck,” he suggested he would find another way to dispose of the problem after the “double dose” failed.
In her hospital bed, Kim was heard telling visitors Lydia and Chas, “This time, there was no enemy, no plotting, no poison plate. Just me moving too fast. So maybe – on this occasion I did do all this to myself…”
However, viewers saw that it was Graham’s gloves hands meddling with Kim’s medication as an act of revenge after overhearing Kim’s plans to kill him six years ago.
Andrew Scarborough explained: “Graham is clearly still incredibly angry that Kim tried to kill him six years ago. This resulted in him faking his own death to escape the hit she put out on him. He lost Rhona in this process, so he still hasn’t forgiven Kim for that.
“She took six years of his life away. That is why he just tried to kill her – for revenge. I am not convinced his whole heart was in it because their relationship is complicated. I think if his whole heart were in it, he would have actually made it happen.”
The actor returned earlier this year in an unexpected ending to Corriedale, with viewers having watched Graham die on-screen six years ago. However, he explained to ex Rhona Goskirk that he faked his death after he overheard Kim plotting to kill him.
He left behind a potential future of running off into the sunset with Rhona, and missed out on continuing to grow his bond with Joe, who he has always been a father figure to.
Since his return, Graham has been trying to reign Joe in after he’s been terrorising the village, and even though him and Kim share a rocky past, they also shared a moment of passion together.
Emmerdale airs on weeknights at 8pm on ITV1 and is available to stream on ITVX.
