Missal was cast in the role of the daughter of Téa Delgado and Todd
Manning. Prior to landing the role, she had little television
experience, one of her few roles being Saturday Night Live, in a
sketch alongside Dan Aykroyd and Jimmy Fallon. When reading the script
for Danielle Rayburn, Missal said she thought, "Oh, my goodness. This
girl is a mixture of two cuh-razy [sic] characters...There's so much
drama all the time, but I love it" In a campaign supporting One Life
to Live, TV Guide (Canada) writer Nelson Branco named Missal and the
other youth on the show as one of the reasons the show was the best
soap opera on air.In 2002, Todd Manning hires con man Ross Rayburn to
aid him in the kidnapping of his children Starr and Jack Manning,
during an estrangement with his ex-wife Blair Cramer. Todd's other
ex-wife, Téa Delgado, catches wind of the plot and seeks to alert
Blair. Extenuating circumstances, however, leave Todd, Ross and Téa
stranded on an island in the South Pacific. During their cast away,
Ross and Téa grow close while at odds with Todd. This, however, does
not stop Todd and Téa from making love. When Téa later realizes that
Todd is still in love with Blair, she gives him her blessing in
seeking to escape the island in an attempt to reconcile with her. In
the meantime, Téa opts to stay behind with Ross and waits to be
rescued by the coastguard Todd promises to send if he makes it back
home. They eventually are rescued. During their stay together, Téa
and Ross embark on an impromptu relationship. Later, Téa discovers
that she is pregnant, and assumes that the child is Ross's. The two
later marry and move to Tahiti, where Danielle is born and raised,
although her mother silently questions her paternity. Danielle Manning Top Movies & Young Movies
