Dannii Carbone is a fictional character from the British television soap opera Hollyoaks, played by Christina Baily.

[1] Baily later said she was "very lucky" to win the role of Dannii and enjoyed the acting, but she disliked having to do the "lads mags interviews".

[2] The character makes "an instant impression" on the local residents as she arrives with minders, leading to speculation about "underworld" contacts and her mysterious family background.

"[3] Dannii is disappointed when Sophie Burton (Connie Powney) is placed in charge, but that makes her more determined to win control of the bar.

"[4] Dannii plays a trick on Kristian when he brags about having a one-night stand with Stacey Foxx (Jemma Keys).

She made her first appearance in Hollyoaks by arriving in a flashy car with blacked-out windows and a couple of mean-looking men by her side.

She began to work at the Student Union Bar and fell for the charms of Russ Owen, her coworker she would begin to date.

However, the romance takes a break when Russ discovers that he has testicular cancer, and Dannii shows her loyalty as she sticks by him.

In the late night spin off Hollyoaks: Crossing The Line, Dannii was invited to Lee Hunter's presidential party where her drink was spiked by Andy Holt, who went on to rape her.

Louise brought fellow rape victim Mel and her sister Sophie Burton along with her to prove to Dannii that they could band together and report Andy to the police.

Dannii returned to Hollyoaks in June 2007 after receiving a text message from her ex-lover Russ on his Mobile phone saying that he wanted her back.

In the end, Russ pledged his loyalty to Mercedes, and Dannii left to work in a fashion house in Milan.
