However, Charlotte also explained that Daniel's not a prize to be won, after the character has made some "pretty manipulative" moves in the past.
"I can’t decide whether they need to go their separate ways for good or whether this has proved they’re more similar than we originally thought and maybe they’re made for each other!" she said.
"I think if Daisy sees Daniel happy with someone else it will crush her, especially if he moves on fast. But it will also force her to take accountability for what she’s done to their relationship.
Charlotte also teased an unexpected desire for a storyline between Daisy and Bethany: "They’ve actually got a fair amount in common. I think there’s room for a solid friendship to blossom."

Meanwhile, Charlotte recently defended Daisy's actions amid her infidelity with Ryan Connor.
She said: "I really hope people haven’t forgotten that Daisy is also deeply traumatised from the whole Justin saga and hasn’t processed much of it herself as she’s focused all her energy onto Ryan’s recovery. On screen, we haven’t really touched on her own.
"Hopefully people remember she isn’t the straight-up bad guy in this love triangle. It’s more complex and layered than that."
