Series producer Iain MacLeod got wind of the news and was mind-blown but suggested that the musician could get involved through an open mic night at the Rovers Return onscreen.
In an interview with the Daily Telegraph last year, he told them: "To hear that Bob Dylan is a Coronation Street viewer blows my mind,"
"I would absolutely love the idea of him turning up in the Rover's Return one night.
"Maybe we could write in an open mic night, and a mysterious singer could roll in out of the Manchester rain and do a turn."
Coronation Street might just make it happen as viewers have seen musicians like The late Girls Aloud singer Sarah Harding, who played the role of Joni Preston, featuring in five episodes of the show in 2015.
