As the summer weather heats up a series of couples are set to tie the knot across the nation's soap operas.

Bosses at EastEnders, Emmerdale, and Coronation Street have lined up weddings for the their summer schedules.

In Albert Square crime lord Andy Hunter will snare Sam Mitchell - after proposing on bended knee.

And a soap source told The Sun that Sam says yes but warned: "As always in soaps, that's no guarantee everything will go to plan."

Up in Yorkshire, Emmerdale's Charity Dingle looks set for her second wedding - this time with moneybags Tom King.

Over in Weatherfield, shop stud Dev Alahan pushes forward plans for his wedding with Maya Sharma after a cancer scare.

But, as seems to be the way with these things, Sunita Parekh realises she too is in love with Dev, and he is left to choose between them.
