Emmerdale's Graham Foster sends shockwaves through the village next week, when he makes his first public appearance since coming back from the dead. After reacquainting himself with Home Farm, Graham returns to The Woolpack after six years presumed murdered.

How will the villagers react to sharing their pub with a ghost? We can expect more than a few shocked faces?

"Graham's 'murder' sent the village into a tailspin all those years ago," our Emmerdale source reminds us. "Innocent suspects were grilled and Marlon was even falsely imprisoned.

"No-one can believe Graham is alive after everything they went through??

It's finally time for his extraordinary return to become public knowledge, as Joe Tate and Graham decide to seize the moment before rumours spread through the village.

By this point, Rhona Goskirk and Kim Tate are among those who already know their enigmatic ex is back on the scene, but his surprise appearance at Home Farm leaves Gabby Thomas and Lydia Dingle gasping with horror when they bump into him.

Tired of lurking in the shadows and deciding to set the record straight before speculation and gossip run riot, Graham enters The Woolpack and leaves its punters speechless.

Will his old foes come to terms with his survival, or will they be angry that his fake murder put them all through hell?

"Billy actually found Graham's corpse," points out our spy. "But now he's face-to-face with the man he thought had died.

"Graham had made several enemies by the time he departed Emmerdale, and now all eyes are on him to explain his miraculous recovery."

After his dramatic pretend death, it's no wonder even those closest to him are struggling to trust his word. Not only has wily Graham managed to lie low for six years, but his time away from the village ? and why he was transporting tied-up Jodie Ramsey ? remains a murky mystery?

The pub is rife with speculation after Graham's return, with some locals predicting he might be back in Emmerdale for revenge, or even to win back Rhona's heart.

Will Graham be able to put the past behind him? Could he cross paths with new enemies, or will old grievances rear their head?
