In 2001 she returned to Germany to play Pearl, which she continued until the 2005 cast change.

Personal Life[]
While playing Pearl in Germany, Danni married Matthew Wing, who was a fellow cast member. As is the custom in Germany, she then performed under her married name. Danni also took two periods of maternity leave from the show as she and Matthew started their family, so although she was first cast Pearl for 4 years, she was not performing constantly throughout this time.
