And recent she has been seen on screen having cravings and hot flushes – which fans are convinced will be mistaken for menopause symptoms.

But in a shock they think Linda will discover she is pregnant with Max’s baby.

Actress Kellie will soon leave the soap temporarily to go on maternity leave.

And fans think having Max’s baby will be the perfect exit for Linda.

One wrote: “I think it’s just the menopause, either that or she is up the duff again.”

A second added: “She thinks she’s going through menopause but will discover she is pregnant. 

“Find out she’s quite far gone. The baby is Max’s as her and Mick weren’t sleeping together at that point so there is no way it can be Micks.”

Another said: “Yes I agree that the reason for Linda’s ‘hot flush’ is that she thinks it’s menopause but it probably isn’t.

“I also concur that Linda will find out she’s pregnant a little late and she won’t be allowed to have a termination. 

“It would pave the way for Max to return to the show one day and cause more drama for Mick and Linda.”
