She also playing the main role in one of the episodes in Mujeres Asesinas 2 as Rosa.

Also in her acting career she acted in Mi pecado where she played Rosario, her greatest antagonist to date. She considers that Cadenas de Amargura is the telenovela that gave her the success and recognition that made her the actress she is today. This was not a big production and did not have a big cast in it, but the story and episodes were already written and the characters were perfectly defined which they believe is the main reason for its success. Diana Bracho was part of the cast who is one of the best actresses in Mexico. Raul Araiza who played her boyfriend in the story was also her boyfriend in real life. Cynthia Klitbo, Delia Casanova, Fernando Luján, Alexis Ayala and Raymundo Capetillo also participated in this story. Daniela plays Cecila Vizcaino, a young girl whose parents die in a tragic accident and she is sent to her aunt's house, Evangelina who is a very possessive, moral and religious person who wants to control her life, prevent her from committing sin and live a life, on the other hand her aunt Natalia (Delia Casanova) is good to her and is the one that protects her. Daniela plays a very timid, quiet girl who although tries to fight for her right to live her life, trusts her aunts without knowing all the pain one of them is causing her.

Cañaveral de Pasiones is a novel written by Caridad Bravo Adams.The story was produced by Humberto Zurita and Christian Bach who have only delivered well made stories. Daniela plays Julia Santos, a very sensual role compared to Cadenas de Amargura, Juan Soler is the lead actor who plays Pablo Montero.

In order to prevent her sister from running away with Amador, she goes to meet him and they end up having an accident and dying, reason for which Josefina thinks she is right and tries to make Julia's life miserable. She prevents Pablo from seeing her and send him to the City to study but when he returns as an adult he sees Julia again and falls in love with her again although he is engaged. They will have to fight for their love against Josefina, Dinorah and Julias Father Fausto (Leonardo Daniel).

After a long absence she returned in the telenovela Pasión, which is situated around 1780 in the New Spain; she plays blind Lizabeta de Salamanca, the difference here is that she plays the antagonist; she was afraid to play this role at first but she has earned positive reviews; She also starred in a horror movie called Viaje directo al infierno in 1989.
