Yesterday's show when he was probing her about saying Brian looks like a murderer/rapist, she actually listened to what he was saying and responded to his leading questions, and seemed really pensive about what he was suggesting, where usually she'd just go on and on about how someone is a **** or whatever.

Tonight, Danny made a relatively little comment after her argument with Nikki and Helen started to cry, then seemed to express to Marc that it really got to her that Danny had mentioned something.


I wonder what it is about him that makes her respect his opinion more than others. I don't think anyone else has this sort of dynamic with her.

I will tell you why...because Danny speaks the truth. He tells her calmly and is direct. He doesn't shout at her so she can't get angry and spew vile. He knows how to deal with her and it winds her up that he doesn't give her a reason to shout at him.... Danny questions her behaviour and last night she unknowingly admitted all that is wrong and vile about her. However she doesn't own it..she is incapable of apologising...instead she just says it's her and it's her personality so she won't change it...and she really believes she is a nice person!!....so there's no hope for the vile cretin!!

Hmm nah I think it's a bit more complex than that. I think that if they fancied each other there'd be more of a playful/fun side to their relationship.

Absolutely, I wish other housemates would clock on to this! My opinion of Danny fluctuates almost every episode, but I've really liked watching him deal with Helen. His first argument with her about Victor ended in quite an aggressive outburst, but he seemed to really learn from his mistake and has taken a much better approach to dealing with her so that he always finishes on top. Hope he keeps it up!
