As most already know, Maddie met her maker tonight and even though I posted about this a few weeks ago I, personally, thought the actress, Scarlett Bowman, had improved massively since joining last summer and I enjoyed watching her. She was the charatcer I loved to hate and she was a greta soap bi*ch.
She will be missed by me but I look forward to the developments coming up over the next few weeks.
Whats everyone else's thoughts?

To be honest I find the fact that she left Neil a little bit inconsistant with her character, she once ran into a burning building to rescue Tilly and dragged Sinead out of the sea even when she hated her so i'm not sure why the massive turn around. Having said that it was marvellously evil and made it quite satisfactory that she then got hit by the car door. I found everything about her death gruesome tbh, her last words and actions and then Jono checking her body and Sinead's reaction (beautifully played by Steph Davis).
I never felt the criticism of Scarlett Bowman as an actress was warranted but I think she has been absolutely brilliant recently because she was brave enough to play Maddie with absolutely no sympathy and she was truly truly vile without a hint of trying to get the audience on side. Big respect to her for playing and helping to create a character that was so hated; most actors would probably say that they'd most like to play a character like that.
She was a bitch but it seems they ramped it up to levels of ridiculousness once it was decided they were gonna kill her.
Also I know we never met her but I feel bad for Neil's mum
I do hope Scarlett Bowman wins some kind of award for her portrayal as she's done very well, perhaps "Best Exit".
LOL i know... first thing on her mind was to attack esther....
Don't put Soap's worst character in the same sentence as one of Hollyoaks' all time best bitches
Maddie was bloody awful and her exit is long long overdue
Claire rocked when she was in it - a proper love to hate character; not the hate hate character Maddie was
Not fit to clean the muck from Claire Devine's red stilettos.
In an episode that had Rhys' exit? I can't see that happening.
She was a horrible character with no redeeming qualities. I was overjoyed when that flaming car door descended on her from a great height!
I didn't much rate the actress either, I found her pretty one-note and wooden most of the time. But she did find her niche playing the cold, heartless bitch, I'll give her that.
I'm inclined to agree. I think Maddie was written out in the way that she was to assuage vocal Hollyoaks fans how hated teh character.
TBH i don't think she thought much of Neil and was just mates with because he was in the gang already.
I hope tilly n phoebe will at least agree with esther when she tries to tell the truth about how nasty maddie really was!!
