Madeline Myrick

Madeline grew up as the eldest of three triplets, the other two being Dylan and Eve. Her father, Aldo was known to have died while her mother, Alissa-May was pregnant.

## Raised by Alissa-May

Alissa-May raised the kids whilst developing multiple mental health issues. Madeline often left out Eve through their childhood, while conspiring evil tricks with Dylan, although Madeline would always push it a little bit more than her brother.

## Alissa-May's Murder

When she was a child, Madeline and her family moved in with Alissa-May's longtime friend, Jamie Landgraab in Del Sol Valley. Alissa-May began a relationship with Jamie's cousin, Raul Ginter, who Madeline took a slight disliking to. Madeline was shocked to hear that her mother had killed Raul in a showdown and been sentenced for his murder. Jamie told the kids she would raise them and explained that Alissa-May was defending herself, and is not a bad person.

## Deceiving Brayden Ngata

Madeline's cold personality developed in the next few years, without the guidance of her parents and without fully trusting Jamie. When she was a teenager, she took a big interest in money. She befriended wealthy man Brayden Ngata and pretended to fall in love with him, all the while having a plan to steal his money and share it with Gregory Gonzalez. Madeline agreed to marry a gloomy Brayden. Alissa-May was released from prison and made amends with Madeline. She decided to accompany Madeline and Brayden on their honeymoon to Salvadora in hopes for a bonding experience. Madeline grew sick and tired of Brayden very quickly, and while Alissa-May was exploring Salvadora, Madeline stabbed Brayden through the heart. She watched her husband die without much remorse. When Alissa-May returned, Madeline acted terrified and remorseful over the 'accidental' stabbing of her husband, and guilt-tripped her mother into taking the blame. Alissa-May agreed and went on the run, while Madeline returned to Del Sol Valley alone, with Brayden's urn.

## Giving Beth Away

Madeline was shocked when a house fire erupted and Jamie's husband, Shane perished. Madeline was later devastated to learn she was heavily pregnant with Brayden's child. Jamie helped her give birth to Beth Ngata. Madeline had little maternal instinct and could not properly love Beth, so Jamie eventually decided to give her to Brayden's mother, Paulina. Madeline and Gregory married and moved to Oasis Springs into the Gonzalez household.

## Reuniting with Alissa-May

Alissa-May had managed to clear her name in a marriage deal to Lucian Espinosa. When Madeline found out that she was pregnant with Gregory's baby, she kept it secret and moved in to Dylan's house at Del Sol Valley where him, Alissa-May, his wife Deidre and son Charles were living. Madeline reconciled with Alissa-May and told her that wanted to give Gregory's baby away before he found out. As Alissa-May urged her to do otherwise, Gregory tracked Madeline down and discovered the secret. Madeline had previously discovered Deidre's affair with Van Bingham and revealed that to soften the blow. Around this time, Madeline gave birth to Tony Gonzalez. Dylan forgave Deidre and kicked out Alissa-May, Madeline, Gregory and a newborn Tony, forcing them to move to the Gonzelez household in Oasis Springs. Alissa-May then moved out to live with Jamie in Sulani until her death, leaving Madeline feeling very guilty for causing her so many problems.

## Marrying Kian Brooks

Madeline and Gregory stayed married for many years until he died of old age. Madeline then strung up a partnership with Kian Brooks, who was living in the Willow Creek Pub owned by Nestor and Breda Marcus. Madeline married Kian and moved into the pub.

## Taking Over The Willow Creek Pub

Madeline's thirst for power corresponded with Kian's, and the two decided to hatch a plan to steal the pub from Nestor. Kian found evidence of Nestor's murder of Ferdinand Espinosa in a letter he wrote to his late other Eileen Marcus. Madeline tried to gain a confession from Breda but was unsuccessful in gaining this extra piece of evidence. Madeline and Kian confronted Nestor nonetheless, threatening to expose his crime to the police unless he give up ownership. Around this time, Madeline had a secret affair with Nestor's son, a much younger Gavin Marcus. Nestor and Breda had no choice but to move away, and Madeline threatened Gavin never to speak of their affair again as he and his mother Traci moved away. Madeline and Kian were thrilled to begin their reign of the Willow Creek Pub.

## Kian's Death

Madeline and Kian continued to rule the Pub for many years, but the line of succession was uncertain. Kian's daughter Audra had moved in with her husband Ronen and son Duncan, while share owner Denise also remained in the Pub. Kian then died of old age, leaving Madeline in full charge.

## Power Feuds

Audra wanted ownership of the Pub, but Madeline ignored her claims. Intent on finding a future heir to the Pub, Madeline contacted her daughter Beth, who did not want the Pub. However, Beth's son Greyson and his wife Willow made a claim and Madeline invited them to live in the Pub instead of her other son Tony, whom she did not trust due to his new wife Amy's hold over him. Madeline and Audra continued to feud over the Pub, but this changed when tragedy struck and Duncan was killed in an electrocution accident. Ronen and Audra's marriage broke down, much to Madeline's relief, and they both moved away to separate locations. Denise also decided to give up her share and let go of her mother Dawn's legacy which had been holding her down her whole life. Finally, Madeline was in full control with her grandson Greyson set to take over the business.

## Organising Nestor's Attack

Madeline worried that when she was gone, Nestor and Breda would return and take over the pub, so organised a plan to get rid of Nestor. She contacted Joaquin Espinosa, Ferdinand's son and informed him of Nestor's role in Ferdinand's death. Mad with rage, Joaquin tried to kill Nestor, just as Madeline wanted, but Nestor survived and Joaquin was arrested. Joaquin's wife Shari Espinosa then found out about his contact with Madeline and demanded answers from her. Madeline denied all accusations which caused feuds with Shari and her mother Nadia.

## Willow's Affair and Greyson's Disappearance

When Willow fell pregnant, she began to distance herself from Greyson. Madeline sensed tension but trusted Willow to stay focused. She accepted Willow's plea to invite her sister Jillian and her husband Abraham to stay temporarily. Abraham suspected Madeline was controlling Willow and crossed paths with her, beginning a short feud. Madeline bonded with her nephew Charles Myrick and considered giving him ownership should all else fail. Willow and Greyson's marriage continued to deteriorate until Willow finally gave birth to Aspen Tinsley and revealed Greyson was not the father - she had slept with Oskar Landgraab on a night-stand as a result of Madeline's overbearing nature. Madeline threatened Willow, Jillian and Abraham but before they could do anything, Greyson stole baby Aspen and shockingly ran away with her. Willow, Abraham and Jillian moved to Sulani and Madeline was left alone.

## Madeline's Pub Legacy

Madeline fell into depression as her legacy lay in crisis. This caused Beth to move in with her temporarily, accompanied by her friend and relative Vera Sanders. After some tough-talk from Beth, Madeline sorted herself out and refocused on the pub. Tony and his pregnant wife Amy came to live temporarily in the pub near the end of Madeline's life, but Madeline knew Amy only came for ownership. With Beth insistent on not taking over the pub and Tony untrustworthy, Madeline invited Charles to move in during a transitional period of him receiving ownership. Madeline also gave a share to Beth in case Charles ran it into the ground. Madeline then met another grandchild, Cherry when Amy gave birth. At the near end of her life, a thunderstorm started for several days. Madeline evaluated her life and was haunted by those she had wronged - Alissa-May, Brayden and more. In a stroke of good will, Madeline decided to admit her role in Joaquin's crime, which later led to his exoneration. Madeline wished her loved ones farewell as she passed away upstairs in the Pub.
