Popular scene played out with daughter getting angry (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

incensed

'angry' is the definition.
('incensed' can be similar in meaning to 'angry')

'popular scene played out with daughter' is the wordplay.
'popular' becomes 'in'.
'played' indicates an anagram.
'out' is an insertion indicator.
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'daughter' becomes 'd'.
'scene' is an anagram of 'cense'.
'in' placed into 'cense' is 'incense'.
'incense'+'d'='INCENSED'

'getting' is the link.

(Other definitions for incensed that I've seen before include "Infuriated, outraged" , "Livid" , "Enraged, furious" , "Very angry, really mad" , "Cross" .)
