Graham Foster has left Emmerdale with a heart full of remorse and his tail between his legs.
After a traumatic start to the week, triggered by the anniversary of his wife’s tragic death, a drunken Graham lashed out at his employer Joe Tate.
Last night (Wednesday 1 August), wearing the scars of the vicious attack, Joe refused to accept Graham’s apologies – and banished him from the village.

Emmerdale fans were gutted that the double act had parted ways…
But actor Andrew Scarborough has reassured ITV viewers that we haven’t seen the last of the suited mystery man yet!
Earlier this week, we saw Graham being tormented by the ghost of his dead wife.

During a special flashback episode, ITV viewers saw how Cheryl was killed in a drink drive accident caused by his alcoholism.
Devastatingly, she was pregnant with their unborn child, who also died.
Plagued by the demons of the past, Graham turned to drink and ended up “knocking to bits” his only real friend in the village – Joe.
Following the attack, Graham woke up confused and unable to remember the events of the night before.
Full of regrets, he begged Joe for forgiveness and swore to enter himself into rehab.
But Joe refused to forgive and forget, and told Graham to leave and never return.
Andrew, who plays self-loathing Graham, has teased that there is still much to learn about the former army man.
Speaking in a behind-the-scenes video, he said: “This episode was about one incident that has happened in Graham’s life.
“He has had quite a past and has seen a lot of tragedy. There are a lot more layers and lots more things to find out about him. He has done a lot and is absolutely shrouded in mystery. There is a lot more to find out about him.”

Fans will be thrilled to know Graham will be back one day…
The flashback episode left many questions unanswered – like WHO was the mystery person that Graham called twice in his hour of need?
Early in the episode, Graham was furious to receive a phone call on the anniversary of his wife’s death and blasted: “Not today. Of all the days, you know of all people, not to call. Not today.”
@emmerdale fantastic episode tonight. Love the romantic #robron scenes but who was #Graham on the phone to twice in the episode? I really want it to be #KimTate pic.twitter.com/1oV2LB7s87

Later during the flashback scenes, Graham called an unseen person to beg for help after the accident.
He said: “It’s me. I’m in trouble. The army will discharge me for this. I’ve had a crash. I need your help.”
ARGH, who was on the phone?
Come back soon Graham, your fans need answers!
