Biography
On 6 July 2019, Graham learned from staff nurse Jade Lovall that Marty had been awared the Wyvern Nursing Bursary. He soon arrived at Holby City Hospital's emergency department and congratulated his son for his achievement. Uneasy about his presence, Marty assured him that he would not mind if he chose not to stay, but Graham claimed that he "wouldn't miss it". When Clinical nurse manager Charlie Fairhead presented the award to Marty and asserted that he was "an inspiration to [them] all", Graham asked nurse David Hide to elaborate, and he unintentionally brought up Marty's sexuality.

Later, outside the department, Graham offered to take Marty and to a football match, but Marty asserted that he was too tired. Graham asked him to clarify David's remarks about his sexuality, but Jade interrupted and claimed that he was her boyfriend. Surprised, Graham began to laugh hysterically. (CAS: Series 33, Episode 42)
