Just found it on Digital Spy:
Sharon Watts and Dennis Rickman are to tie the knot, according to the Sunday Mirror today.
Letitia Dean and Nigel Harman have signed new contracts to return to EastEnders, and producers are apparently hoping that the wedding will be a hit with viewers.
However, not everybody on the Square will be congratulating the couple, especially Phil Mitchell, who turns up at the wedding to try and spoil it.
An insider told the newspaper, "With Dirty Den gone, Sharon and Dennis can finally be a couple.
"Bosses are convinced a wedding will be a big hit. Sharon can't have a baby, but bosses are also planning another storyline with her trying to have a baby through IVF treatment.
"But there will be one person hell-bent on stopping Sharon and Den getting married or having a baby - Phil.
"There'll be all-out war between the Watts and the Mitchells. Peggy and Phil are united in stopping Sharon and Dennis from getting The Vic and the club back.
"Phil is out to put a spanner in the works. He doesn't want his ex marrying Dennis and forms an alliance with Chrissie to stop them getting the pub back."
Just to add to this there's a piece about it on the Mirror website:
LET'S GET WED
LETITIA DEAN and Nigel Harman will tie the knot in a dramatic EastEnders comeback.
Blonde Letitia, 37, and heart-throb Nigel, 32, have agreed bumper new deals to return to Albert Square.
And the ailing soap's producers believe marrying feisty Sharon Watts and "half-brother" Dennis Rickman will help claw back lost viewers.
Their passionate screen kiss in June 2003 caused a storm. Although they shared the same dad - Dirty Den Watts - Sharon was an adopted child.
But their wedding will hit a hitch when Sharon's ex-husband - Albert Square hardman Phil Mitchell (Steve McFadden) - turns up to spoil things.
An insider said: "With Dirty Den (Leslie Grantham) gone, Sharon and Dennis can finally be a couple.
"Bosses are convinced a wedding will be a big hit. Sharon can't have a baby, but bosses are also planning another storyline with her trying to have a baby through IVF treatment. But there will be one person hell-bent on stopping Sharon and Den getting married or having a baby... Phil.
"There'll be all-out war between the Watts and the Mitchells. Peggy and Phil are united in stopping Sharon and Dennis from getting The Vic and the club back. Phil is out to put a spanner in the works. He doesn't want his ex marrying Dennis and forms an alliance with Chrissie to stop them getting the pub back."
New executive producer Jon Yorke wants the wedding to be next year's top storyline. He also plans to bring back Phil's hardman brother Grant, played by Ross Kemp.
In the soap's heyday 25.3million tuned in to see Grant beat up Phil for bedding his then wife Sharon.
But ITV1's Emmerdale trounced it on March 1 as only 6.3million tuned in to watch an hour-long special after Dirty Den's murder.
In September the show plunged to an all-time low of 6.2m when Ian Beale told Jane Collins he loved her.
Lovers Sharon and Dennis's secret romance and their plan to run off together hit the rocks when Zoe Slater (Michelle Ryan) claimed to be carrying Dennis' baby.
Sharon fled to America then Dennis left Walford after discovering his dad was the baby's real father.
Letitia was in the first episode in 1985 and stayed for 10 years. She was lured her back with a £150,000 deal, including time off for pantos. She left on Christmas Day for six months off.
Nigel, who left in January, is believed to be getting £150,000 a year - a £25,000 hike.
