Thorson - who played scheming Rosemary King on the ITV1 soap - will film her scenes next week, for an episode which is set to air on Tuesday 18th March.
Linda will play glamorous widow Caro Francis, who is suffering from a terminal illness. Caro has managed to alienate her own son, Father Gabriel Francis (Christopher Harper), by taking advantage of her diagnosis with constant demands for VIP treatment.
The storyline will see series regular Doctor Melody Bell (Elizabeth Bower) trying to make Caro see the error of her ways.
Producer Jonathan Phillips said: "We're proud to be able to maintain a tradition of attracting top talent to the show and it's a real thrill to have a true screen icon on Doctors.
"Linda Thorson certainly fits that bill, and we look forward to working with her and welcoming her to the Doctors family."
