Coronation Street's Rita Sullivan and Dennis Tanner are set to wed.
The redheaded Kabin worker (Barbara Knox) is currently romancing Dennis - widower of the legendary Elsie Tanner - and sources believe a wedding isn't far off.
A insider told the Daily Mirror newspaper: 'Don't rule out a summer wedding!
'It is the talk of the cast that Rita could become Mrs Tanner. Barbara, like Pat Phoenix, who played Elsie, is a legend and everyone thinks it would be a terrific move for Rita to get married again.'
Philip Lowrie - who plays Dennis - recently said he loved working with Barbara as they have such a good time together on set.
He said: 'I've rarely worked with an actress as fabulous as Barbara.'
Rita bumped into Dennis last May and was shocked to see he had fallen on hard times and was living as a homeless person. She then brought him back to 'Coronation Street'.
The original Mrs. Tanner left Weatherfield in 1984 and Pat Phoenix, who played her, died two years later.
