When Denise was in the kitchen and she started to sob. I wonder if she was upset because she now has to wait even longer to leave Ian.

Tbh I was a bit surprised at how relatively dry-eyed both her and Jane were. I hope they had them intentionally hold back, let's say due to shock, and let tonight's episode be about a dad and brother's grief and we'll see more from them in later episodes as the reality sinks in. I'd be surprised if that's the best we get from two such fantastic actresses.
She wants to leave Ian but she can't since his daughter just died. Any normal person would feel overwhelmed with guilt that they want to leave Ian but at the same time, she doesn't want to stay in a loveless relationship.
She and Lucy got on as well so I am sure she is sad she died, plus she probably feels sorry for Ian as Denise has had her fair share of scares in regards to her daughters lives.
It ain't as straightforward as her being sad because she can't leave Ian now. It's not a nice situation.
I'm pretty certain it was intended that way, since they both broke down outside of Ian's presence.
Not sure how she could have been any different. I mean unlike Jane it would have been a shock to her. The way i saw it, it was about Ian tonight, so there was no need for her to do much more.
I would have liked Denise to have comforted Cindy as they bonded quite well more then her and Jane have.
I think that was partly it. Also think it was because she was upset for the younger two and how she saw Ian.
I noticed they werent actually CRYING. I know that people have said they were holding back but still- I wouldve expected a few genuine tears, esp in the bits when they WERE supposed to be crying,
People deal differently, they're probably shocked.
She was thinking of the comfort sex she'd have to give him.
I thought that, Jane was the person who rang Ian initially too.
With the scene with the children = Denise was LITERALLY on the outside.
INteresting dynamic that she will be guilt- driven into staying with Ian for sometime now
No that will be Jane;-)
Great points, i think we will see Diane's acting work at its finest since being in the Beale family. We will see her battle with herself.
Like i said before I thought it would be nice if Denise had been with Cindy rather then Jane, but this was telling to see how much she is on the outside/wants out.
This is definitely what I was thinking.
Denise's reaction, alone, separated from the family, was very clever - they had to vary the ways the death was revealed to the characters, and it's not fair on the little boy who plays Bobby to act out such trauma (or as conviningly as an adult). It's a similar tactic to when Ian told the twins that Cindy had died - the camera at a distance and them running away, then him saying it was the hardest thing he'd ever had to do (and well done to the writer referencing that in this episode).
