[3] While on holiday in Portugal, Toni meets Paddy Kirk (Dominic Brunt) and agrees to return to Emmerdale with him, pretending to be his internet girlfriend, "Fireblade."

After the joke runs its course, Toni reveals that she is the fun-loving cousin of Danny Daggert (Cleveland Campbell) and settles into village life.

Toni impresses Diane Sugden (Elizabeth Estensen) and lands a job at the Woolpack pub, working behind the bar.

Toni later regrets rejecting Paddy when he begins a relationship with Del Dingle (Hayley Tamaddon), and she realizes her own feelings for him.

Before leaving the village, Toni makes peace with both Paddy and Del, concluding her time in Emmerdale on good terms.
