Hollyoaks have missed out on......(spoilers)
Creating another soap super bitch with Maddie?
Though she was a vile and repulsive individual.... she did have potential. She was like a next generation version of Clare Cunningham, The fact that she left Neil to die proves her evil streak would go way beyond bullying.... Some people say she got what she deserved, karma etc But honestly I think Hollyoaks will be just a tad duller without her around, we just didn't know what stunt she would pull next. Oh well, it wasn't meant to be. |

I thought the actress was wasted as a sixth former.
She's about 26. If they'd brought her in to stir trouble with the older characters it would've been better. |

I personally liked the character. She (and the actress) obviously did well because the whole forum are talking about her and her exit and how much they are glad "the b*tch is dead". So all's well imo.

Exactly what I thought, but Hollyoaks have a habit of ruining characters for the sake of shock factor.

I fear Hollyoaks have wasted a genuine talent in Scarlett Bowman .... |

Problem is with Maddie,if they turned her into the next superbitch,she would of always been living in Clare`s Shadow,There will never be a bitch as good as Clare in HO,Nearest weve got is Mercedes (even though shes more bonkers than bitchy these days)

I'm quite shocked she left Neil to burn! I honestly thought she was just a nasty, spoilt little girl and a horrible bully, but leaving him ther to die and immediately jumping out and blaming Esther, well that was a whole other level of messed up evil

The truth is, one day there will be another bitch and as you say may be in Clare's big shoes suddenly..... I just think Maddie had the potential to fill them

Scarlett played the superficial bitch well, but she really wasn't very good at anything that required emoting of any kind.
Some of her earlier stuff, when they were trying to portray her as a sympathetic character, just fell completely flat because she was so wooden. So I think they just decided, as everyone hated her anyway, that they might as well go into full-on bitch mode with her. It seemed to work. ![]() I'm not in the slightest bit sorry to see her go, though ![]() If they want someone who can play the bitch well, and is also a good actress capable of emotional stuff, they've got Steph Waring for that. |

I am sure she would not be in Clare's shadow... they are two very different people, so the way she was a bitch and the reason for being so would of been different with Maddie.

I just think Maddie had the potential to fill them ![]() Another problem would of been that Clare & Maddie do look quite abit in common (maybe they could have had maddie as sister to clare?) i think maddie was too much of a clare wanna-be to be a proper super-bitch.Maybe over time that could of changed but i guess we`ll never know BTW would it be possible for clare to return or did she die in the loft fire? |

She was absolutely a vile bitch, and I don't think I've ever hated a soap character as much as I did her, but that clearly meant Scarlett Bowman was doing her job well!
I did have to admit, I groaned when it looked like she wouldn't die, then cheered when the door fell on her! But it was a waste to be honest, they could've gone so much further with the bullying, and to see her get her comeuppance without dying would've great! I assume now Sinead or Ruby will carry it on, but neither of those play as convincing a bitch as Scarlett Bowman did. Particularly Sinead, I can't believe it's the same Stephanie Davis I was upset to see go on Over The Rainbow! |

I loved her death. It felt right for her to be wiped out by a falling burning door - whoever thought of it needs a prize! Shame she managed to spout off about Esther before hand and I was shocked at what she did to Neil but then again when they were first trapped all she was saying was me me me so it was her down to a t.

I'm so disappointed. As much as I didn't like the character she was interesting and caused conflict. Her exit felt premature. They just keyed her up for some really interesting storylines and off'd her. Maybe the actress wanted to leave. That seems to happen a lot in Hollyoaks. I think they should cool it with the deaths for a while. They have a greater mortality rate than New York!
There are so many useless characters. I don't know why they got rid of her. |

i think the problem with maddie,is that at the beginning she was just some spoilt rich girl with abit of a nasty side,were as Clare was a super-bitch to begin with.Plus even though Clare was a bitch you still liked her in a way & she always left you wanting more,after about 10 mins i get board of maddie but i think thats more down to the way it was written
Another problem would of been that Clare & Maddie do look quite abit in common (maybe they could have had maddie as sister to clare?) i think maddie was too much of a clare wanna-be to be a proper super-bitch.Maybe over time that could of changed but i guess we`ll never know BTW would it be possible for clare to return or did she die in the loft fire? and no Clare did not die in the loft fire She was arrested for it though.

Yeah I see what your saying, however in Emmerdale, the best soap bitch ever Kim Tate (undisputed soap queen bitch by most people) started of as a somewhat nice character also... but had a more gradual descent into a harder character.
and no Clare did not die in the loft fire She was arrested for it though.Although Kim Tate started off as a almost nice character,she was always someone who`d be one step ahead of you,same with Clare.When Maddie first arrived i`d actully say she was abit of a airhead,it was only when her parents split up she grew a braincell on how to use it to her advantage.I Will admit the actress had something about her but the way the character was written & the fact that on some of her crying scenes it was cringeworthy,maybe about 5/6 years down line as the actress had progressed & got better then maddie might have been the next clare,but within that 5/6 years people would of become sick of maddie,super bitches are best when they last 2-4yr (kim tate excluded from that),otherwise they run the risk of going in circles with the character |

Holly (of the few snippets we have seen of her) looks quite hard-faced and moody, wonder if she is sticking around to be a regular, will be a character with similar maddie traits??

totally agree, While I know her character was horrible and nasty..... I can not fault the actress, she played the part so well and she was easy on the eye too,
I fear Hollyoaks have wasted a genuine talent in Scarlett Bowman .... |

She was just a nice girlfriend of Max's until they recast her with Gemma Bissix and she suddenly turned into money grabbing whore. ![]() Quote:

I expected Maddie to actually survive and just be in a coma or something. But then it showed her being zipped up in a body bag at the end.
