Emmerdales Andrew Scarborough has revealed that viewers will get a glimpse into his characters dark past in Tuesdays episode of Emmerdale.
Andrew, who plays the mysterious Graham Foster on the soap, revealed on Lorraine that the special flashback episode took weeks to film. The hour of Emmerdale will be dedicated to exploring the loss of Grahams wife and child on the anniversary of their deaths.
[On the surface Graham] is very calm and all together, Andrew said but inside he is a beast and you get to see that mental state. Two weeks of being quite depressed and being in that state to film it, and being drunk for that long is difficult.
Although Grahams past has been hinted at in previous episodes, its the first time that viewers will see the impact that Grahams drinking had on his life.

[The] poor guy is trying to help me but we dont know if hes going to make it, Andrew said, of Grahams attack on Joe.
