In November 2008, ''[[The Guardian]]'' reported that ''[[After You've Gone (TV series)|After You've Gone]]'' was to be cancelled by the BBC, due to ITV moving ''[[Coronation Street]]'' to the same slot on [[ITV1]]. The BBC had announced a fourth series of the show in January of that year to be aired in 2009; however, the series ended with a Christmas special in 2008.<ref name="BBC drops After You've Gone'">{{cite news |url=https://www.theguardian.com/media/2008/nov/19/bbc-after-youve-gone |title=BBC drops After You've Gone |access-date=2 January 2010 |newspaper=[[The Guardian]] |location=London |first=Leigh |last=Holmwood |date=19 November 2008}}</ref>

Rumours circulated that the album had been cancelled by Harmer's record company due to poor sales of the lead single, she responded that "they are just waiting for the right time to release it". No further comment was made until mid-2012, when Harmer stated via Twitter that she had given up music because she wanted to focus on her acting career. The album never surfaced, but the artwork and 30-second previews of each track were released in early 2010, along with the track list.
Harmer returned to the role of Tracy Beaker in early 2010 in the 13-episode BBC series ''[[Tracy Beaker Returns]]'', in which her character had developed into a care worker and had written an autobiography about what life is like for children in care. Three series aired of ''[[Tracy Beaker Returns]]''. It concluded on 23 March 2012, due to Harmer deciding to quit her role as Tracy. A spin-off was created called ''[[The Dumping Ground]]'' but did not feature her, though she did return for two episodes at the end of series 6. She then starred in another TV show called ''[[Dani's Castle]]'', a spin-off from ''[[Dani's House]]''. This aired at the start of 2013 and ended in 2015.<ref name="Tracy Beaker Returns(2010)'">{{cite web |url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/pressoffice/pressreleases/stories/2009/11_november/30/tracy_beaker.shtml |title=Tracy Beaker Returns (2010) |publisher=BBC |access-date=2 January 2010}}</ref>
Harmer was due to star as Jane in ''[[Disco Inferno (musical)|Disco Inferno]]'', which was planned to tour across the UK in autumn 2012. However, it was announced on 5 September 2012, after an investor pulled out, that the musical had been cancelled. Harmer confirmed via her [[Twitter]] account on the same day that she would be a contestant on the upcoming [[Strictly Come Dancing (series 10)|tenth series]] of ''[[Strictly Come Dancing]]''.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-19486965 |title=Dani Harmer show axed as she joins Strictly |access-date=6 September 2012 |work=BBC News |date=5 September 2012}}</ref>
