The following article contains spoilers from the episode of Emmerdale dated April 2. It hasn’t aired on ITV1 yet, but can be viewed on ITVX and YouTube.

Graham Foster (Andrew Scarborough) is enjoying every single second of his revenge plan against Kim Tate (Claire King) in Emmerdale as right now, she has no idea what he’s up to.

Earlier this week, Kim was sent to hospital with suspected mushroom poisoning. Doctor Todd (Caroline Harker), Jacob Gallagher’s (Joe-Warren Plant) boss, then confirmed to her that she had painkillers in her system, meaning she had actually collapsed as a result of overdosing.

Away from the shock that Jacob had misdiagnosed her, Kim couldn’t believe she had made a mistake with her medication, which she takes due to still suffering leg pain after falling off her horse at Christmas.

As no one else is around when she takes her pills, Kim was hit with the realisation that she had given herself an overdose. Surprised by her mistake, she remained unaware that someone had snuck into her bathroom and tampered with her meds.

Graham was confirmed to be the culprit, and shared with someone on the phone that he had swapped Kim’s normal tablets for a double dose. He also said that he’d try a different approach in his revenge next, believing he’d find another way to get rid of his ‘pain in the neck’.

Kim returned to Home Farm in today’s episode, and happily followed orders to rest and recover. While she laid on the sofa reading a magazine, Graham approached young Clemmie, who was busy with a school project.

She explained to Graham that she was building a Roman fort and needed to write about a General, but with her brother Lucas writing about Julius Caesar, Clemmie wasn’t sure who to focus on.

Graham sat opposite her and told Clemmie to write about a man called Quintus Fabius Maximus (no, I didn’t think I’d be given you a History lesson in this either), who proved everyone wrong and became one of the most successful Generals in Rome.

As Graham spoke about how Quintus was incredibly clever, and focused on cutting the food supply of his enemies over fighting big battles, it became more and more apparent this was an elaborate way for him to talk about what he’d like to do to Kim, without directly confirming it.

‘Sometimes, it pays to play the long game’, Graham said as he sipped his tea.

While this was going on, an oblivious Kim enjoyed her magazine, believing Graham was having an innocent conversation with Clemmie about her homework.

Playing the long game and keeping his enemy close is working – but how long for?

‘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’, star Andrew Scarborough said.

‘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.’
