Actress Jacqueline Chadwick, aka Coronation Street's Linda Baldwin, has decided not to return to the ITV soap.

Chadwick went on maternity leave in September last year, as her character went "missing" after having a heated row with husband Mike, played by Johnny Briggs. Now Chadwick has decided not to return however, opting to spend more time with her two children instead.

A statement from Granada read: "Actress Jacqueline Chadwick has announced that she has decided not to return to Coronation Street following the birth of her second child. Everyone at the programme wishes her well for the future and the production team are now working on a fitting end to Linda's storyline."
