Gay row Tiffany to wed Grant.
Eastenders hard man Grant Mitchell is to marry Tiffany in a sensational twist to the soap's controversial gay plot.The pair elope from Albert Square following the storm over the homosexual tryst between Tiffany's boyfriend Tony and her brother Simon.
Then furious Tiffany secretly marries Grant.
In another turn, pregnant Tiffany goes back on her decision to have an abortion and tells Grant the baby is his.
But Tiffany, played by Martine McCutcheon, doesn't know whether Grant or Tony is the father because she slept with both of them.
Viewers will not see the wedding, which comes a week after nearly 150 viewers complained about the gay kiss between Tony and Simon.
Ross Kemp, who plays macho Grant, admits that he receives fan mail from male admirers.
A BBC insider said: "The gay affair between Tiffany's brother and boyfriend leaves looseends so this ties them all up.
EastEnders bosses have ordered a second gay kiss between Tony and Simon to be re-filmed.
The shock scene originally showed Tiffany bursting in on a bedroom clinch between the pair, but this has now been toned down.
It will be shown next Monday.
