In 2008, she joined the cast of the BBC soap opera EastEnders playing Danielle Jones, a love interest for newcomer Callum Monks. She first appeared onscreen in August. She made her last appearance as Danielle in an hour-long episode broadcast on 2 April 2009, in which her character died after being hit by a speeding car.

Prior to the episode’s broadcast, Crace told GMTV she wanted to return to theatre and move away from the character of Danielle. The viewing figures for her last episode peaked at 11.5 million, due to this there was a surge in the national power grid. Fans of the show and the character signed an online petition with 15,000 signatures that labeled the character’s death a “huge mistake”. There was a Facebook group “Bring Back Danielle from EastEnders”, which attracted over 67,000 fans so far. But according to The Daily Mirror, soap bosses have ruled this out. Crace won the award for Best Newcomer for her role in Eastenders at the TV Quick and TV Choice Awards.
