Who killed Graham Foster in Emmerdale?
The long-awaited murder of Graham Foster has finally hit Emmerdale screens and the mysterious businessman certainly went out with a bang as he was killed by the returning Pierce Harris.
Graham, played by Andrew Scarborough was supposed to meet Marlon Dingle in the forest and have it out after the chef as Marlon discovered he was still trying to leave for France with Rhona and son Leo.
The lovable Dingle character made his way into the forest and looked for Graham, who was nowhere to be seen.
All of sudden Marlon heard a noise and shined the torch in the direction it was coming from.
Graham emerged from the shadows and as he began to walk towards Marlon, he was smashed round the back of the head by Pierce and slumped to the ground.
Unaware of what happened, Marlon walked in the other direction away from where his enemy had just been killed.

Who is Pierce Harris?
Pierce Harris is the former husband of Rhona Goskirk.
He was sentenced to five years in prison for raping Rhona but has somehow returned three years later to rape the former Veterinary Surgeon.
Pierce's first wife Tessa cheated on him with Paddy Kirk, who was once married to Paddy.
Pierce's first scenes aired after Tess was involved in a car accident, as she was knocked over by Kirin Kotecha.
He rushed to the hospital to be with wife but was devastated when she passed away soon after.
As time went on Pierce grew closer to Rhona, who was no longer with Paddy when they were unable to fix their marriage following his affair.
The two got together and soon Rhona began to notice changes in his behaviour as their romance developed.
Still, the pair got engaged and later tied the knot, but their relationship took a shocking turn when Pierce raped Rhona on the day they got married.

Who were the suspects in Graham Foster's murder?
Emmerdale fans are being treated to a week long series of special episodes dedicated to each suspect in the killing of Graham.
Each instalment revealed their motives for wanting to kill the businessman.
There were seven suspects in the frame before we saw Pierce smash Graham's brains in.
Here they are:
Kim Tate
First up is blonde baddie Kim Tate - who as we all know is no stranger to getting blood on her hands.
Kim is on the warpath against Graham after he rejected her and then revealed his one-night stand with her son’s wife Andrea.
Kim is also jealous of Graham's relationship with Rhona and tried her best to woo him back on January 20, 2020.
And in Monday's episode she catches up with the former soldier and declares her love after he tells her that he's split with Rhona.
She then discovers that he's lying to her, which prompts her to convince business partner Al Chapman, who is in massive debt, to kill Graham for a huge fee to help ease his money troubles.
Kim is also astonished to find huge sums of money had been drained from her bank account and believes it's Graham who did it.
Al Chapman
Emmerdale viewers were left fearing that Al will brutally murder Graham after vowing to “take care of him”.
He tells Kim he will do what it takes to make Graham "go away", all she needs to do is give the order.
And finally on Monday, Kim tells Al to kill Graham.
Al's initial reaction is to tell Kim to get lost, but after a run-in with the people he owes £60,000 to, Al agrees to do as Kim asks if she pays off his debts.
He asks for £250k, with £60k up front - thus solving all his problems - except for the issue of getting rid of Graham and being found guilty of murder.
Jai Sharma
On Tuesday, we saw Jai stressed as the launch of the Hawkford Outdoor Pursuits centre doesn't appear to be going to plan.
Then Laurel comes up with visitors for launch day, and his day appears to be improving.
As he drives off at breakneck speed to sort out an issue with food, he nearly runs Graham off the road.
Graham points to Jai's coked-up state as the pair scuffle in the country lane.
Graham then takes Jai's keys and coke, pushing the drug addict to the ground.
Graham then tells a shocked Laurel about Jai's habit - and she then has it out with Jai.
Jai blames Graham for his bust-up with Laurel - but does this lead him to him killing the businessman as we see him smashed over the head with a spade?
Charity Dingle
Charity’s son Noah suffered from a drug overdose after he took the pills that he confiscated from Sarah Sugden.
Feisty Charity is quick to point the finger at Graham for the incident as he knew Noah had the drugs and did not take them away from him.
Charity has another bone to pick with Mr Foster, after he's seen threatening her other son Ryan Stocks to the point where he starts crying.
And as Charity prepares for her wedding to Vanessa Woodfield in Wednesday's episode, Graham is seen in the woods threatening Ryan over making a money transfer.
Ryan has been helping scam money from Kim's account and transferring it to Graham.
Graham then locks a tearful Ryan in a shed - only for Charity to release him, and hear that Graham's behind it all.
Jamie Tate
When Graham dumped Jamie’s mum Kim in public, the faithful son was quick to berate the businessman for being so disloyal.
The protective son was furious with Graham for lashing out at his mother.
His anger towards Graham reached boiling point after finding out he slept with his wife Andrea.
Jamie knows that he is Millie's father, but he is still seething at the fact that he slept with his wife and will be even more angry if he finds out he took money from his mother's bank account without her knowing.
Andrea Tate
Andrea is likely to go to desperate lengths to get her revenge against Graham after he revealed their one-night stand to her husband Jamie.
His revelation has seemingly shattered her attempts to get the family back together and to make mattes worse, Jamie plans to move out of Home Farm into an apartment with five-year-old daughter Millie.
Andrea's life has been ruined and she had her sights set on killing him before we saw Pierce popped up out of nowhere.
Marlon Dingle
Marlon has been against Graham ever since Rhona invited him into her life.
He lashed out at the former butler after worrying about his involvement with his son Leo.
The chef learns that Rhona is planning to take his son Leo to France with Graham to play happy families - without even letting him know - and Marlon sees red.
After looking as though he had talked her out of it, Rhona soon began to look for Leo's passport which was missing and accused Marlon of taking it.
Marlon denies taking it and after learning Rhona planned to leave for France with son Leo and Graham on that same night, Marlon looks to have it out with the businessman in an attempt to stop him from leaving, but as we have seen, he will not need to worry about Graham anymore.
