I didn't understand why everyone was so reluctant to tell her.

Jack didn't want the whole square finding out yet (I think because the kids didn't know).

their last interaction was arguing too

older people could have been told it wasn't like the kids are outside meeting them, they are being shielded by jack and family

it looks like no one in the vic knows and abi is working

It would be impossible for Jack to be certain he could keep the deaths from the kids once it was common knowledge - unless he was prepared to upset and confuse them further by banning them from communicating with their friends.

However, I think there was also an element of wanting to keep it quiet to make it feel less real. Now he's seen the bodies he can no longer deny to himself that Ronnie is gone.

yes as you say telling made it seem more real for jack but now after seeing the bodies it is

I thought the whole not telling the kids thing was silly. It was a horrid bit of the death story line.

It was all about Jack's state of mind. He was in deep shock and not ready to deal with telling the kids since he couldn't quite believe it himself at the time.

However, both Max and Sharon were nagging him to tell them so we know that the writers didn't agree with keeping them in the dark.
