Coronation Street fans ‘solve’ why Jodie was kidnapped by Emmerdale’s Graham

Fans of Emmerdale and Coronation Street think they may have figured out the link between the soaps’ characters Jodie Ramsey and Graham Foster.

The pair were onscreen together during the soaps’ crossover in January, called Corriedale. Graham had a terrified Jodie tied up in the back of his van, and he was taking her to a mystery location.

Since then, the link has not been mentioned, while Corrie boss Kate Brooks promised it would soon be explained. We know Jodie is running from someone or people, with her adamant no one can know where she is.

Graham has claimed on Emmerdale that he was helping the police by “fixing problems they couldn’t deal with”. So was this what he was doing with Jodie, and why did the police want her gone if so?

Viewers are now speculating that Jodie was linked to the drug trafficking and human trafficking plot involving Emmerdale baddies Celia Daniels and Ray Walters. Graham returned to the village to save April Windsor and her family, including his ex Rhona Goskirk, after April was groomed into the drug drama and sexual exploitation.

Given this led to his comeback, some fans now believe he targeted Jodie as she too was involved in this storyline. A theory online read: “I wonder if Jodie was part of the Celia/Ray drug story during which youngsters were forced to sell drugs and some forced into prostitution.

“It was mentioned a few times on Emmerdale that April was to be moved away to Newcastle where another there was the same set up vulnerable kids selling drugs through fear. Maybe Jodie ran the Newcastle branch and as Graham had been brought in to save April and bring down the drugs gang he had captured Jodie to dispose /punish her / bring her to justice.

“This is why Jodie told Olivia she was on witness protection to make sure Olivia didn’t tell anyone where she is now living. This would tie up Emmerdale/Coronation Street storylines. The dad didn’t sound very nice so Jodie would have been a vulnerable kid and picked up by Celia/Ray.”

Another fan said: “This is the only storyline that would make me actually interested in Jodie. I hope you’re right.” A third fan added: “I really hope you’re right, I think this would be very interesting and it would make it possible for SOMEONE involved in this whole business to be brought to justice eventually hopefully.”
