Maybe she wouldn't BE so boring if 1) Lauren Crace could act and 2) they weren't dragging this on. From the Sun:
Exclusive Make my Danielle role less of a bore By COLIN ROBERTSON
Published: Today EASTENDERS actress Lauren Crace has pleaded with her soap bosses to make her character Danielle Jones less BORING. The newcomer, 22, revealed she pleaded for drama to be injected into her role.
Lauren said last night: “In the script, I kept reading ‘Danielle says shyly’ or ‘Danielle acts naively’. It got really boring for me.
“She doesn’t do much — she is very passive and it can be quite depressing to play that five days a week. And she is a Mitchell, after all.
“I told the producer she should stand up for herself more — and that is just starting to happen.
Key
“I have some great scenes coming up when she has really good arguments with Archie. She is not a little mouse any more.”
Lauren has been in the BBC1 soap for more than six months and has become a key character.
She was brought in by show boss Diederick Santer, who said at the time he wanted to give the actress some exciting work.
He added: “I’m delighted she is making her professional debut with us, at the start of what I’m sure will be an accomplished career.”
Danielle is currently involved in a big storyline that this week will see Archie Mitchell discover she is his granddaughter.

Maybe she wouldn't BE so boring if 1) Lauren Crace could act and 2) they weren't dragging this on. That's about right. They should have introduced her as Ronnie's daughter straight away. If they were going to create a ballsy Mitchell type she would have arrived in town, marched into the Vic and declared herself. Instead they sent in a simpering drip to hang about on a market stall pining for her mummy. It will take some clever script-writing now to save this character - most of us stopped caring months ago.

Most of us stopped caring about Gonnie over a year ago too. LOL!
Bunny is like a female Billy but Lauren Crace just looks terrified all the time, even when upset or happy.

Innit!! (As those Londoners say). I feel a bit sorry for the actress but really, she's not very good. Those "frightened" looks all the time got old - she says it was broing to "act" she should be feeling sorry for us having to watch it!
Pretty obvious she's leaving though, judging by all the past tense used in the interview! xxx

LOL! Yeah but she's rubbish anyway. Her first major part. Probably her last.
