Danielle Manning
Danielle Manning is a fictional character from the American daytime drama One Life to Live. Created by writer Ron Carlivati, the role was originated on October 23, 2009 by Kelley Missal, who remained in the role through the ABC Daytime finale on January 12, 2012. Missal reprised the role when new daily episodes of One Life to Live debuted on Hulu, iTunes, and FX Canada via The Online Network April 29, 2013.
The character was conceived as part of her mother Téa Delgado's absence on the series from 2002 through 2008. Danielle was affected by SORAS, being aged several years after her supposed conception in 2002. Her revised birth date was October 20, 1994; in 2013, it was revealed Dani would be aged to 21.
In 2009, Missal was cast in the role of the daughter of Téa Delgado and Todd Manning. Prior to landing the role, she had little television experience, one of her few roles being Saturday Night Live, in a sketch alongside Dan Aykroyd and Jimmy Fallon. When reading the script for Danielle Rayburn, Missal said she thought, "Oh, my goodness. This girl is a mixture of two cuh-razy [sic] characters...There's so much drama all the time, but I love it!" In a campaign supporting One Life to Live, TV Guide (Canada) writer Nelson Branco named Missal and the other youth on the show as one of the reasons the show was the best soap opera on air.
In 2002, Todd Manning hires con man Ross Rayburn to aid him in the kidnapping of his children Starr and Jack Manning, during an estrangement with his ex-wife Blair Cramer. Todd's other ex-wife, Téa Delgado, catches wind of the plot and seeks to alert Blair. Extenuating circumstances, however, leave Todd, Ross and Téa stranded on an island in the South Pacific. During their cast away, Ross and Téa grow close while at odds with Todd. This, however, does not stop Todd and Téa from making love. When Téa later realizes that Todd is still in love with Blair, she gives him her blessing in seeking to escape the island in an attempt to reconcile with her. Téa opts to stay behind with Ross and waits to be rescued by the coastguard Todd promises to send if he makes it back home. They eventually are rescued. During their stay together, Téa and Ross embark on an impromptu relationship. Later, Téa discovers that she is pregnant, and assumes that the child is Ross's. The two later marry and move to Tahiti, where Danielle is born and raised, although Téa secretly questions her daughter's true paternity.
Téa's lingering feelings for Todd causes her marriage to fall apart. Eventually, Téa asks Ross for a divorce. Ross refuses her request, threatening to take Danielle away from her if she tries to leave him. To ensure that this does not happen, Téa enrolls a now-SORASed Danielle at the Warwick School—an exclusive boarding school in London—while keeping the location a closely guarded secret from her estranged husband. In December 2008, Téa returns to Llanview to make amends with Todd. As the two grow close, she secretly has a DNA test performed, which proves that Todd is indeed the father of Danielle. Later, Téa admits to Blair that she gave birth to a child, and that it is Todd's.
At the Warwick School, Danielle meets Matthew Buchanan, who is from Llanview, and is also staying at the school as part of his parents plot to divert his attention away from having surgery for his leg. They both share sorrows over disliking their parents, and, ironically, Matthew talks about his great lawyer, who happens to be Téa, while Dani talks about how her mother is a "shark" in the courtroom. Not knowing their real identities, the two become quick friends, and Danielle agrees to help Matthew escape and fly to Seattle, Washington, to have his surgery. However, Ross has teamed up with his brother Elijah Clarke to help locate Dani. He shows up to the Warwick School to see her, but they are already gone. Before Matthew can have his surgery, Téa and Elijah, and Matthew's parents, Bo Buchanan and Nora Hanen find them at the hospital. Téa and Elijah makes plans to leave Llanview in order to protect Dani, and she is forced to say goodbye to Matthew, with whom she had grown even closer to. Todd is also on Téa's trail, and finds out she is at the hospital. When she hears Todd arguing with Matthew's sister Rachel Gannon, Todd and Dani have a hostile confrontation and reveals to him that she is Téa's daughter. Realizing that he is more than likely her father, Todd leaves hurriedly to find Téa at the hotel, where Ross has attacked her after telling him that Dani is not his biological daughter. Todd arrives just in time to save Téa, who confirms to him that Dani is his daughter.
Ross, hurt and angry, kidnaps Blair Cramer and Dani. After being chased down and caught in a police standoff, Ross goes on a bridge and tries to get Danielle to come with him, and Todd shoots him. Thinking that Todd shot her father, Dani steals one of Bo Buchanan's guns and tries to shoot Todd, but he calms her down. Téa realizes how traumatized Danielle is about Ross's death and takes her home to Tahiti to mourn. During their time in Tahiti, Ross appears to Dani and reveals that he is alive. He tells Dani that Todd is her real father and wants her to accept him as her father. Danielle only promises to if Téa says she won't turn Ross in. She and Téa return to Llanview, and Téa rushes over to tell Todd that they are back. However, Dani searches for Todd on the internet and finds out secrets from his past. Matthew, looking for his sister Rachel, finds Dani and comforts her over her new-found information. To help ease her pain, Matthew takes her to meet her half-sister, Starr Manning, to help her understand who Todd is. Despite her negative views toward Todd, she develops relationships, with Starr, brothers Jack Manning and Sam Manning, and niece, Hope Manning-Thornhart. At first she develops an antagonistic relationship with Destiny Evans, because Destiny had a crush on Matthew and did not want him helping her to begin with. They later become best friends.
Todd and Téa's reunion is cut short when she leaves him due to Dani not being able to accept him. Dani and Matthew become closer, and they almost have sex, but Matthew cuts it short, as they are not ready and Dani is using it to vent feelings about her father. Over time, Dani and Todd begin to grow closer, as she continues to act out at school in order to get his attention. In a play at school based on the relationship of Starr and Cole Thornhart (Brandon Buddy), Dani won the role of her sister Starr after singing Miley Cyrus' "The Climb" in her audition. After playing out a scene between Todd and Starr in the play, and noticing Todd in the background, she realizes how Starr loves him and decides to give him a chance. During the play, Matthew notices Dani's close attraction to Nate Salinger (Lenny Platt), who is portraying Cole. Shortly after, Téa learns she has an inoperable brain tumor, meaning she has limited time to live. Téa keeps this from Danielle and attempts to get her and Todd to bond, realizing he will be all she has after Téa dies.
