Just when fans thought the trail had gone cold, Coronation Street may have dropped a huge new clue about the link between Graham Foster and Jodie Ramsey. And if viewers are right, we could finally be getting closer to the truth.
After that earlier explanation left many underwhelmed, this latest twist has got people talking all over again.
The Graham and Jodie mystery so far
Viewers will remember that when Graham appeared in Corriedale on Monday January 5, he had a woman tied up in the back of his van.
That moment quickly spiralled when the crash distracted him and she managed to escape. Later, Graham was seen at the hospital confirming over the phone that she had got away, before calling off the job.
We now know that woman was Jodie, Shona Platt’s sister. But beyond that, the details have remained frustratingly vague.
Earlier this month, Graham admitted he had been working for a gang tasked with getting rid of “a problem” named Jodie. When he failed to complete the job, he was punished for letting her go.
Jodie’s confession in Coronation Street raises fresh questions
In Thursday’s Coronation Street episode (April 23), Jodie may have revealed more than she intended.
She had already told Shona she was fleeing an abusive relationship, although it later emerged that story was taken from someone else at a support group.
Now, she has claimed that Olivia, who recently tracked her down, is the daughter of her abusive ex. According to Jodie, she was caught trying to escape with a hard drive and was forced into the back of a van.
That detail has immediately sparked new theories.
Could Graham actually be this abusive ex? Is Olivia his daughter? Or was Graham simply hired by the man in question to track Jodie down?
And if that is the case, why has the explanation so far felt so thin?
Coronation Street and Emmerdale fans think they’ve cracked it
Soap fans are convinced the pieces are finally starting to fall into place.
“So, Olivia’s criminal dad is likely the guy who hired Graham to ‘retrieve’ Jodie after she’d stolen an incriminating hard drive and how she ended up bound and gagged in the back of Graham’s van…we’re slowly getting there!” one viewer wrote.
Another added: “Also the two guys in the car who work for the girl’s dad must have been the ones who beat the [bleep] off of Graham.”
Others are still questioning whether there is an even bigger twist to come, with one asking: “So is that youngster Jodie just threatened Graham from Emmerdale’s daughter?”
Whatever the truth, it feels like the story is finally moving forward. Now fans are just hoping the full picture is revealed sooner rather than later.
