Soap producer Iain MacLeod previously revealed to Digital Spy and other media that the Linda storyline will be around for the long run.
"[The story is] going to be a long runner for us," he said. "We are taking the very original story played with Ken Barlow as our inspiration."
He added: "I suppose the foundational dynamic in the Barlow family when we first met them was that Ken was one thing and his family was subtly something else. It's basically taking its inspiration from that kind of foundational dynamic in the Barlow household."
Coronation Street airs on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 8pm on ITV1 and streams on ITVX.
