Danielle "Danni" Stark is a fictional character from the Australian soap opera Neighbours, played by Eliza Szonert.

[1] After being a part of the Neighbours cast for almost a year, Szonert said: "I'm really getting into it now, but I hated seeing myself on screen at first and the long hours and routine took a lot of getting used to.

[1] Szonert told Rochelle Tubb of The Sun-Herald that she did not share many similarities to her character, but did occasionally display some aspects of Danni's personality in real life.

When she is caught injecting insulin with a needle, fellow residents thought she was using heroin after Michael Martin (Troy Beckwith) gossiped about her.

[4][6] Danni is not happy with Cheryl's relationship with Lou Carpenter (Tom Oliver) and she makes her feelings about the subject very clear to her mother.

[2] In January 1996, Szonert returned to Australia from the UK, where she had been appearing in pantomime, to film her final scenes after quitting her role.

She later dates Ben Dalziel (Stephen Pease), Steve George (Alex Dimitriades) and Luke Handley (Bernard Curry).

She emotionally blackmails Luke into starting a new life with her; this along with Darren's wild behaviour against Mal, Lou and Karl makes Brett decide to leave.

A writer for the BBC Online said Danni's most notable moment was "Being caught with Michael Martin in Lou and Cheryl's bed.

[3] A reporter from Inside Soap criticised the character, stating "When it comes to heeding advice from others, Danni prefers to bury her head in her ego.

They said "The former wild child would definitely up the glamour stakes if she attended the big bash, and can you imagine how exciting it would be if her first love, Mal Kennedy, was there too?
