Than the one what plays Destiny even!!!
Do you guys remember that one soap board a few years ago that asked its posters to please refrain from criticizing young actors and actresess people under the age of 18??? I do.
Well, Im not mean and I don't mean it towars the persons. But, the ACTING done by the girl playin Daniella is baaaaaaaaaad news folks!!!
GH doesn't do much right these days...but one thins they EXCEL at is hiring young actors who are AWESOME...Current Xample clude: the young folks who portray Morgan, Michael, Kristina, Molly, Dante and Dominic.
OLTL should steal GH casting director of young folks.
Daniella and Destiny actor people pretty bad.
K Alderson used to be AWESOME. Don't know what happened to that girl this past year...
Markko and Langston are deteriorating....Cole is...what Cole is (in terms of how BB plays him)
Bratty kid what play Shane IS SCARY.
Eddie Alderson who plays Mathew is outstanding.
And THATS what ***I*** THINK About it!!!

I don't think she's bad at all. In fact, when she's not yelling, I think she's quite good. I can't find anything about the actress, Kelley Massal, so I think this may be her first professional acting job. Give her some time.

Both Destiny and Dani were inexperienced actors, and neither (at this stage) are the best at their craft. In scenes where they are acting opposite polished pros, they both have done well, in my opinion. I buy Dani as Tea's daughter and as Matthew's friend - not much more has been asked of her. Destiny has had almost a year, and has struggled in scenes where it is just her and Shaun, someone else who I like, but who I don't think is that good of an actor. Put Destiny and David in a scene together, and she rocks it - but (let's be honest) EVERYONE rocks it when they are with David - Tuc Watson is that good.
I actually see more in Dani's eyes during scenes that require emotion - furious at the matron of the boarding school, hurt by her mother's lack of trust, relief at seeing Matthew awake. While I agree that Destiny has gotten better, too often I still see a girl "reading" her lines.
BTW - maybe the line of the week was with Dani yesterday when she yelled at her mom that she wasn't "eight." This can easily be read into as a wink from the writers to the fact that Dani should not be 15, but much younger (6, to be precise, however if they had SORASED her to be closer to Jack, but still younger, she would have been 8).
AT SOME POINT Eddie ("Matthew") deserves to have peer actors as good as he is, and he doesn't have that now (unless they pair him with bi-Curious Shane! haha). Look at all the heavy lifting his sister has to do with that dull bulb who plays Cole.

Message: I say give young actors a chance on soaps. Its soap after all. Its a stepping stone to better things. There quite a few older folks that need to be replaced JMO

Message: I agree that Destiny is a better actress. Daniella did something this week with her acting, I can't remember what it was now, that made me think she's not all that talented. She plays bratty well with Tea, but she doesn't thrill me. Now, Eddie Alderson is fantastic, I agree on that too!

Message: I'm not impressed. I thought she was doing a decent enough job at the school with her interactions with Thomas and Matthew and the headmistress, but when she is in scenes with Tea, she just yells and it doesn't work for me. I also find her instant and velcro like attachment to Matthew hard to buy.

Message: I don't think Daniella is bad. I think she is doing a decent job. Destiny has improved, or maybe I got used to her. I think Markko, Langston and Starr are pretty good too. I rag on BB and Cole, but if I am being objective, I don't think he is that horrible either. I love EA and Matthew. he is really good. The only kid actor I don't care for is Shane, only because I can't stand Shane(I am sure Miss B will be happy to read this).
