I agree, I think that after Steven and Helen telling Danielle similar things she was quite happy for her to have gone so that she could mix with the cool gang. I do think that Danielle is dying to let her hair down and she feels that Ashleigh is boring and holding her back.

And hangout more with the others ? that was Jale's big mistake.....

She was just in shock as they all expected Ashleigh to go, nothing sinister going on at all, just shock.

Maybe it's time Danielle is honest and just DOES her own thing. No one can hold her back if she doesn't want to be held back.

Why all the hate for Ashleigh.? What did she do wrong, played a game thats it, on the other Hand Helen is just disgusting and vile.

It's not hate, just analyzing the situation and the dynamics now.

I think she believed Stephen when he told her she could come over and join the cool gang when Ashleigh left, (because they were all sure she would go. And now she can't go!

Neither can she chuck Asleigh for Marlon so she feels 'stuck'. Little does she know that joining the cool gang would see her out of the door before she could say,
'There is no way I would associate with people who sit around all day with cans of lager in their hands talking about sex'. They disgust me'.

Yeah, the woe is me game can't be played now. Well, at least she has the Pope.
