Emmerdale's Andrew Scarborough has said an emotional farewell to the fans following Graham Foster's death.
Building up to his demise this week, Friday's episode (January 24) of the ITV soap finally revealed how Graham was killed by Rhona's rapist ex-husband Pierce Harris.
Now, the soap has shared a behind-the-scenes clip (above) in which Andrew thanked the fans for their support and got a bit emotional.

"Thank you to the fans, because the show isn't capable of existing without the fans, and I've had such lovely feedback and backing from the fans about Graham," he said.
"I don't think they initially understood what he's about – nobody does, actually, I still don't know what he's about. But people have bought into it, they've bought into the magic and mystery of him and it was a bit special.
"I think it's better to go while there's still the mystery, because there's plenty about him. I just want to say thank you very much, and I'm close to tears, actually."
Emmerdale airs weeknights at 7pm on ITV, with an extra episode at 8pm on Thursdays.
