Detective Irene Daniels is a fictional character featured in TNT's television police drama series The Closer, portrayed by Gina Ravera.
While her character is usually not in the foreground through an entire episode, Daniels is a very strong woman who can relate to the families of victims.
She never hesitates to put the detectives in their place when they attempt to flirt with her – except for Sgt.
The friction caused by the breakup between Daniels and Gabriel grows stronger throughout season 4.
During the season finale "Double Blind," Lt. Provenza orders that either she or Gabriel apply to the Criminal Investigation division, to save the squad from their drama.
