JOE Tate will never return to Emmerdale village, actor Andrew Scarborough has revealed.

The actor – who plays Graham Foster in the ITV soap – spoke about his relief at finally being able to speak about Joe being alive after keeping the secret for months.

But sadly for soap fans, he also revealed the tragic truth of Graham’s breakdown after helping Joe hide from his murderous step-grandmother Kim Tate – he will never return to the village.

Joe was last seen in pictures withdrawing money from one of the Tate family accounts in Monte Carlo after he and Graham faked his murder.

Andrew said: “The reason why Graham was very upset when Joe seemingly died is because he knew then that he would never see Joe again.”

Next week Graham will tell the police that Joe is alive in an effort to protect him from Kim after she threatens to murder her step-grandson again in an effort to frame Cain for the crime properly.

He added: “I always knew Joe was still alive and was getting tired of being asked all the time, and being accused of murder!

“Kim ordered Graham to bump off Joe but when Cain thought he’d killed him, Graham saw an opportunity to cover up his own cover up.

“He let Joe go, but when you saw Graham with the gun it was to protect him so he could get away safely, but he reckoned if Kim returned she might hear on the grapevine Cain was up for murdering Joe to deflect attention from Graham.”

He also revealed how Kim and Graham are equally matched with blackmail material of each other.

Andrew said: “Graham and Kim have this very strange relationship that goes back years, I think they both have dirt on each other but she has the upper hand as she’s got the money.

“But Graham is pretty clever and I think he could turn against her if pushed too far. There’s a possibility of that.”
