Moments later, Den returns in the pub and Chrissie begins to taunt her husband that now he knows what it is like to be lose what he loves most and what it feels like to feel betrayed just as she felt it from him. He is now in the Wisconsin Department of Corrections system, according to online records. "[21] Her strong-willed persona has led reviewers to label the character as "venomous",[13] "devious", and "hard as nails" in "the grand tradition of landladies of the Queen Vic",[22] manipulating others to ensure matters go her way. Dennis "Den" Watts is a fictional character from the BBC soap opera EastEnders, played by actor Leslie Grantham. His second stint on the programme saw Den repeatedly clash with Dennis over his romantic feelings for Sharon – which sparked a longstanding father-son feud that escalated after Den discovered that Dennis had killed his mob boss Jack Dalton (Hywel Bennett), and subsequently destroyed his relationship with Zoe Slater (Michelle Ryan), by getting her to lie to Dennis that she was pregnant with their baby. Oberman felt this to be a noticeable shift in Chrissie's characterisation, with the show's writers taking "her down a darker route", as in one notable scene depicting Chrissie standing over Den's grave, and confiding to him of her plans. "[57], In the aftermath of Den's death, Chrissie became an increasingly "transformed" and colder figure, as the character "played" and "spun" her way "out of every situation". Afterwards, Chrissie confronts Zoe about sleeping with Den by telling her that she knew the baby was his — thereby revealing her knowledge of him sleeping with Zoe. In 2006, on the day Jake ends up leaving Walford in October that year, Chrissie is mentioned when Jake argues with Ruby about Johnny's death and his crimes. "[5] Oberman later expanded: "Chrissie, unlike Angie, won't hit the bottle as soon as Den starts playing away. One such cartoon showed the British Prime Minister, Margaret Thatcher, telling her cabinet that the best way to alert the country to the dangers of AIDS was to give the disease to Den.[3]. Owner, James Willmott-Brown, is only too happy to have Angie's expertise on board for his new, suave wine bar. However, Den remains silent during intense questioning and the police ultimately decide not to charge him with any crimes. See further, "Woman's hour: Tracy Ann Oberman interview", "Ab Fab meets EastEnders? Den gets embroiled in a feud with Sharon's former boyfriend, Phil Mitchell (Steve McFadden), after hearing that Phil hit her and also arranged for Dennis to be beaten up by a gang. Hearing this, Vicki traces Den and brings him back to Walford in September 2003. Den bides his time and organises a scam to get Phil imprisoned. She's a great, strong character". She's very good at wisecracks. Den has the one-liners, but Chrissie bats them right back. With some meddling from Sharon, Den and Angie decide to reunite as business partners and she returns to live at The Queen Vic. She reveals that she forged Den's signature on the document in which Den handed over the pub to Chrissie, thus the pub legally belongs to Sharon and not Ian as he originally thought. When I realised I was auditioning for the role of Dirty Den's wife, my jaw just dropped. Chrissie is relieved to have earned Jake's forgiveness when he professes his love for her, but then contemplates on turning herself into the police. That's life in EastEnders; the machine never stops. Playing his last card, Den goads Dennis about his neglected childhood and implies that he suffered sexual abuse whilst in care, successfully provoking Dennis into accidentally hitting Sharon (who had just arrived) whilst trying to attack Den. Not on your bolly! Minutes later, whilst Sam and Zoe go upstairs, Den stirs and grabs Chrissie's ankle, telling her, "You'll never get me out of The Vic!" She recruits Zoe and Sam (both also scorned by Den) and they confront him after closing time at The Queen Vic, one evening in February 2005.
