Lauren Crace Daunted By Eastenders Fans

Danielle, Stacey and Paul

Eastenders actress Lauren Crace has admitted that the attention of soap fans can often be daunting, especially when she is out alone.

Crace plays Danielle Jones on the BBC soap opera and her character moved to the square in a bid to connect with her long lost mum, Ronnie Mitchell.

“I was recognised as soon as my photo was published, before I’d even appeared on screen,” Crace told the Sunday Mercury. “It was very strange.

“Now I can’t go out at all without people saying something. It can be quite daunting, especially if I’m on my own and a group of school kids all want to take my photo. For some reason, buses are the worst!

“You are in people’s living rooms four or five days a week and audiences know your character inside out. When people see you in the street, they don’t always realise you are an actor and not that character.”

Crace was asked to audition for Eastenders as she completed her final year at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (RADA) last summer.

“I couldn’t believe it when I got the audition,” she explained. “It’s not what I expected, especially as I don’t come from London.

“It all happened so quickly. I had a couple of auditions and then the next week I started work, back in June. For the first week of filming I was still appearing in my final show for RADA.”

    Hello you Guys!!
    Thank you so much for your support, I really wish I could meet fans like you. I’m so glad that you want me to return to the Square although I’m afraid what’s done is done and there will be no return for me in Eastenders :( .

    I had an amazing time on set, working with the likes of Samantha Janus (Ronnie Mitchell – my onscreen mum) and Lacey Turner (Stacey Slater – my onscreen best friend).

    I am currently working on set for a new TV drama which will be airing in September so keep your eyes peeled!

    Thanks for all the support, Lauren Crace (Danielle)

    i wont lauen back in eastenders plzzzz come back im begging i love u in eastenders we wont ronnie and her daugter back love that storyline plzzzzzzzz come back im not giveing up

  40. Danielle (Lauren Crace) says:

    On behalf of BBC Studios I’m afraid that Lauren Crace will no longer be able to reply to your messages as the contraversy of it all has made it hard for her to reply.

    Danielle will not be returning to Eastenders as her character has been killed and buried. It’s not a case like Dirty Den, where he was not seen killed therefore we could bring him back. Sorry for any inconvienience this has caused.

    Kind regards, The BBC Studio.
