Emmerdale Spoilers live: Return from the d.e.a.d. causes chaos as Ray’s k.i.l.l.e.r ‘revealed’
Emmerdale will air some shocking scenes this week as the fallout continues from Ray's d.e.a.t.h, whilst Graham Foster's return from the d.e.a.d is no doubt to cause more drama
Emmerdale is kicking off 2026 with some huge drama.
Fresh from the incredible Coronation Street crossover Corriedale, the ITV soaps have slipped into a new schedule, which will see them air back to back for half an hour each day with a soap power hour.
Emmerdale producer Laura Shaw has teased some huge storylines for the coming weeks and months, with the Dingles – of course – front and centre.
“The Dingle family are set to face huge repercussions and Cain is at the centre of a major prostate cancer storyline spanning across 2026. Adding to their devastation, Moira will be arrested for human trafficking, with her arrest timed to coincide with her husband’s diagnosis,” she told us.
“Before the end of January, a special week will flash back to the night of the m.u.r.d.e.r, revealing which of the multiple suspects is responsible for Ray’s demise … A familiar face is returning to the village full-time! None other than Graham Foster will make a sensational comeback. His return will have massive repercussions for both Kim, with whom he shares a complex love and hate relationship, and Rhona, who was about to run away with him.”
Trouble for Moira
Emmerdale viewers have raged that fan favourite Moira Dingle has “suffered enough” amid constant misery.
