ACTRESS Jacqueline Leonard will be making a full-time return to the cobbles this year as Linda. <\/p>\n

The star made her first appearance on Coronation Street in February 2015 as the ex-wife of Owen Armstrong (played by Ian Puleston-Davies)<\/p>\n


\n<\/p>\n

But Jacqueline, 57, is set to make a dramatic comeback on the long-running ITV soap as her grandson Joseph\u2019s struggles rise to the fore.<\/p>\n

Producer Iain MacLeod explained: "Joseph\u2019s issues, which are on screen as we speak, culminate in him falling behind slightly at school.\u00a0<\/p>\n

"Then Joseph\u2019s fairy godmother turns up in the shape of Linda, his grandmother.\u00a0<\/p>\n

"She, as is her want, rides in and decides that she\u2019s going to try and fix all this and starts throwing money at the situation, which puts Chesney and Gemma in this impossible quandary which is they feel that by accepting financial help from Linda, they\u2019re seeding control of Joseph\u2019s life a bit.\u00a0<\/p>\n

"They feel instinctively, \u2018This our son and we should be making these decisions and it doesn\u2019t feel right that Linda is wading in with her chequebook and saving the day.\u2019\u00a0<\/p>\n

"But on the other side of it, they have to prioritise what\u2019s right for Joseph, who is actually having a hard time and could do with the support. It\u2019s a lot of fun in places, but we were trying to tell a very realistic story about family dynamics."<\/p>\n

Iain added: "It\u2019s interesting because Gemma is not Joseph\u2019s biological mother so there are tensions around that in terms of Chesney and does he side with Joseph and Linda and biology or does he side more with Gemma?\u00a0<\/p>\n

"His relationship with Gemma is quite fractured and fractious. I hope it\u2019s one of those stories where you\u2019ll watch it and recognise this down to earth family drama from doings in your own family. It feels brilliantly close to home."<\/p>\n

And Iain also revealed that the storyline was inspired by Ken Barlow\u2019s very first storyline on Coronation Street.<\/p>\n

He teased: "It\u2019s gonna be a long runner for us, and I suppose the tease that I might give you is that we are taking the very original story played with Ken Barlow as our inspiration, so our inspiration for this dates right back to 1960 in terms of what happens next and it's all catalysed by Linda's arrival."<\/p>\n
