EXCLUSIVE: Danielle Harold left EastEnders earlier this year after 12 years on set and says she hopes to follow the likes of Michelle Keegan and Suranne Jones as she looks at other roles
Actress Danielle Harold was a teenager when she joined the cast of EastEnders and admits she’s fully aware of the difficulties of navigating life outside of soapland.
“Everybody worries about being typecast,” she told us. “There was a stigma that it was hard to come out of a soap and get other jobs, but I think that’s changed." In her first year on screen she was crowned Best Newcomer at the TV Times Awards and following Lola’s devastating death scenes, took home the Leading Performer gong at the British Soap Awards, and Soap Actor at the TRIC Awards this summer.
One star she’s looking up to is Michelle Keegan, who played Coronation Street’s Tina McIntyre for seven years before moving on to lead roles in three series of Our Girl on the BBC, and Sky’s Brassic.
