Emmerdale explodes Kim and Graham’s tension in early ITVX release | Soaps

The following article contains spoilers from the episode of Emmerdale dated February 25. It hasn’t aired on ITV1 yet, but can be viewed on ITVX.

It’s not often Kim Tate (Claire King) is left on edge in Emmerdale but if anyone was going to make her feel uncomfortable, it was going to be Graham Foster (Andrew Scarborough).

Ever since his grand return, Graham has been like a thorn in Kim’s side for a number of reasons. They were previously in a relationship before he faked his death which means Kim more than likely still has some feelings for the man, he also wants to rebuild his connection with Joe Tate (Ned Porteous), who Kim has grown close to in recent months, which means she’s also feeling a bit of jealousy as well.

Kim cares about Joe, and believes Graham is going to break his heart again. It has left her on high alert, as she’s been trying to spy the perfect moment to prove Graham is only back in the village for his own gain.

Kim thought she spotted this on Monday, when she witnessed Graham having a conversation with Cain Dingle (Jeff Hordley). She told Joe, and then suggested he create a plan that would either catch Graham out, or prove his loyalty.

The test was to sort an inventory featuring items from Butler’s Farm, but Graham didn’t want to create more drama for Cain. He knows the man has cancer now, and actually feels quite sorry for him. Instead, he told Cain what Joe was planning.

Graham returned to Home Farm and confirmed that the machines on the farm aren’t worth a lot, so it would be pointless trying to sell them. It didn’t take long for Joe and Kim to work out that Graham had lied, and Joe was devastated.

Joe opted for the view of ‘I don’t care what you do’ in the aftermath of this, which meant he didn’t outright and forcefully tell Graham to get out of his life. As a result, he stayed at Home Farm today, which irritated Kim more than ever.

There was an extremely tense moment in the episode as Graham told Kim that he isn’t leaving, because it’s clear Joe doesn’t want him to. He then got extremely close to Kim’s face, which left her struggling to hold her nerve.

Graham got right under Kim’s skin by saying that he knows exactly how she ticks, and that’s why she wants him to leave. The worried look on Kim’s face suggested that Graham had hit the nail on the head. He knows her extremely well.

He knows what she likes, but also knows what she doesn’t like, which means he’s at a massive advantage should this war between them ever kick off.
