Trivia

 * The character of Danielle Hannigan was originally suppose to be a one-time guest character. However during season 4 when writing episode 4, which was suppose to feature another female sheriff, the writers instead decided to simply bring back Danielle, and due to the praise of the character, she ended up being brought back for future episodes.
 * Danielle Hannigan is the longest serving non regular female character on the series.
 * At the beginning of season 10, when it became clear that season 10 would be the show's final season. The decision to kill off Danielle was a big choice, instead originally she was planned to be killed off in episode 10x8, which would become her final appearance in the series. TPTB decided that they wanted her to have more importance and impact and motivate the other characters, considering shes been a long-serving character and decided to hold off her death for later into the season, and feature more of her. Her death was written into episode 10x16, in a way for her character to end on the series and motivate the characters to keep fighting. She did not return in the series final originally, was subsequently written into the episode at the last minute, although her appearance was a cameo with only four lines.
