The 31-year-old actress shared her thoughts on Instagram as she got started in her new career behind the camera on The Flash.
“I’ll always remember this time in my life as incredibly powerful,” Danielle wrote. “Today, I begin directing my first episode ever. The Flash has very much operated as family to me these past five years, so to be able to direct on this show is extremely close to my heart and a bucket list moment for me.”
She added, “Thank you to Todd Helbing and @GBerlanti for the opportunity and to the entire team for their constant support – I’m extremely grateful. Working with a network who understands the power of inclusivity in storytelling is something I will never take for granted. Excited for you all to see episode 518! #TheFlash.”
Danielle Panabaker is about to head behind the camera to direct her first ever episode of The Flash.
The actress, who plays Caitlin Snow and Killer Frost on the series, shared with fans that her husband, Hayes Robbins, got her roses for good luck.
“My husband bought me flowers as I’m about to direct my first episode of #TheFlash…Yet, all I can think about is the irony of him giving me roses on Bachelor Monday 😂,” she joked on Twitter.
Just moments after, Julie Plec, the showrunner behind The Vampire Diaries franchise, sent her a little advice for her first day.

Danielle Panabaker is really excited about Ruby Rose joining the Arrowverse as another badass female heroine.
The actress, and future Flash director, opened up in a new interview with ET about Ruby joining the fandom as Batwoman in the upcoming crossover, Elseworlds.
“It’s fantastic [to have her here]. I think it’s an excellent addition to the universe,” she shared. “Obviously we have Supergirl, and that’s a really great step for telling female stories. I think Batwoman is another step in that direction, but it’s also gonna be different and unique.”
“She’s gonna have her own journey and her own world. I’m pretty excited about it,” Danielle added.
Danielle also talked about the feel of the crossover itself, saying that “it’s great — I feel like they did a really fantastic job writing the crossovers this year.”
“You know, rather than being about, ‘How many superheroes can we get in one room?’ they’ve told a really great story [this year]. Obviously, we’re introducing some exciting new characters, and I think fans are gonna love it.”
Elseworlds kicks off on Sunday, December 9th on The CW.
