But fans of the ITV soap have been puzzled as how the dodgy pair actually know each other.
Speaking at a recent Emmerdale press event, Claire revealed how Graham and even Joe have been working for Kim – although Joe hasn’t been aware of it.
Claire revealed: “Kim has been pulling the strings all along, but I don’t know quite how far this goes back. It would be over 10 years and she’s been under lock and key since then.
“Kim has been pulling strings from prison with Graham and Joe. Kim has been in control of them both, but now Joe has started going rogue.
“Kim and Graham have also got a romantic history. It’s an interesting partnership between them and there’s a lot of history there. You’ll get to find out a bit more about that as next week goes on.
“It’s good because it’s not your average relationship. It gives us more to do and it’s exciting.”
And Andrew Scarborough who plays Graham added: “Graham and Joe are both working for Kim.
“Graham has been saying things to Joe like: ‘Don’t push it, this is not what was agreed’. Graham doesn’t mind Joe marrying Debbie, but he’s insisting on the pre-nup.”
The new clip shows a very glamorous looking Kim arrive at Home Farm in a luxury sports car.
On seeing the assembled villagers she quips: “A welcome home party. Graham, you shouldn’t have!”
