Emmerdale is subtly sowing the seeds of a dangerous theory when a seemingly fleeting moment turns the entire situation upside down. A mysterious call. A brief but weighty question. And a name thought to have been buried with death suddenly resurfaces in the shadows. When Rhona Goskirk picks up the phone and whispers, “Are you done yet?”, Emmerdale seems to be flipping a switch for a conspiracy even darker than viewers have ever imagined.

Graham Foster’s return shattered any remaining glimmer of security after Corriedale. And now, the past between Graham and Rhona may not just be a painful memory, but the key to a deadly secret.

Graham Foster returned from the dead, and the consequences are far from over.

Graham Foster’s reappearance after being presumed dead was shocking enough, but Emmerdale never lets major plot twists stand alone. Graham didn’t return as a lost ghost, but as a figure capable of altering the power structure within the village. With his murky history, manipulative nature, and willingness to “work dirty,” Graham was always associated with lawless solutions.

Graham and Rhona’s relationship was abruptly cut short by what seemed like an irreversible death. But that break never meant the end.

Rhona Goskirk was cornered with no clean options left.

As Rhona’s life descends into chaos, moral boundaries begin to blur. Her stepson, April Windsor, disappears. Ray Walters, the manipulative blackmailer, relentlessly tightens his grip. The police are no longer a safe option as each revealed truth risks destroying her family.

In that context, Rhona’s search for an “unconventional solution” is no longer an unreasonable speculation. Graham, with his intertwined past and deep understanding of the dark side of human nature, may be the only option Rhona believes she can control.

The moment the phone and the question changed everything.
The crucial detail lies in the mysterious call. Rhona asks the person on the other end if they’re “done.” No name. No explanation. Only tension etched on their face. The moment Marlon Dingle appears, Rhona quickly puts the phone away, a reflex only triggered when something cannot be revealed.

That urgency wasn’t ordinary anxiety. It had the air of a dangerous secret that had just been activated.

The prolonged silence and the message of despair.
Emmerdale’s suspicions continue as Rhona attempts to call the mysterious figure again in later scenes, but their identity remains hidden. When she receives no response, Rhona sends a frantic text message: “Call me back as soon as possible. April is coming to the police.”

This is no longer a personal fear. This is the fear of someone who knows that if the police dig deeper, another truth will surface along with Ray’s death.

Ray Walters, Celia Daniels, and the deadly power vacuum.

Ray is dead. Celia Daniels is also dead, murdered by Ray in a fit of rage. The two biggest villains have been eliminated, but Emmerdale doesn’t operate on simple “karma” logic. When the controllers disappear, the question isn’t who’s freed, but who pulled the trigger.

If Graham did indeed help Rhona “deal with” Ray, it wasn’t an act of unconditional help. It was a deal. And every deal with Graham Foster has a long-term price.

Marlon Dingle and the hidden truth
What makes the situation even more terrifying is the possibility that Marlon is completely unaware. If Rhona has secretly allied with Graham, Marlon is living in a false reality, where he believes all danger has passed. This gap between truth and perception is the spark that ignites the subsequent tragedy.

A relationship built on secrecy rarely survives when the light shines on it.

The audience was drawn into a whirlwind of speculation.
Viewer reaction quickly split. One school of thought believed Rhona was simply desperate and seeking protection for April. Another argued that Emmerdale was setting up a dangerous clandestine alliance where the victim could become an accomplice. Graham Foster’s name repeatedly appeared in the theories, not because of clear evidence, but because he was the only one who fit the role of “having done it.”

Nobody believed it was just a misunderstanding.

Rhona Goskirk may have crossed a line of no return, and if Graham Foster really is on the other end of the line, is Emmerdale about to expose a truth that will destroy more than one family?
