— Mads to Sutton in The Revengers
| ||
Madeline "Mads" Margo Rybak also called Maddie. She is Alec's daughter and Thayer's half-sister. She is the best friend of Emma Becker, and Charlotte Chamberlin. She notices changes in Sutton straightaway, though never realizing it is in fact, Emma, and not really Sutton at all.
She is very close to Thayer before he left. Their mom divorced their dad and took his anger on them, which made them closer. Mads depend on Char and Sutton for support but Char is her only loyal friend - until she discovers that Emma is Sutton's twin, after Char left. Then Emma and her become closer.
She is portrayed by Alice Greczyn.
Madeline is a member of the Rybak Family.
Season One
Mads is seen welcoming Sutton back home from Paris. She shows Sutton a picture she found of her and Thayer, who left Arizona because of his relationship with his dad, Alec. Mads questions Sutton and her brother's relationship because she thinks it might have been romantically linked. Sutton insisted there’s nothing going on between her and Thayer. Mads is seen later hanging out at her pool where Nisha crashes challenging Sutton. At Nisha's party after Sutton (Emma) slaps Nisha and leaves the party, Mads offers to go with her but Sutton (Emma) says no. After the break-in Dan gets Mads word that Sutton left the party early. Mads takes ballet with Char and Nisha. She and her teacher Eduardo have feelings for eachother, but due to the age difference he will not respond even when Mads throws herself at him. Nisha suspects they are dating and sends a photo that looks bad to Mads's dad Alec. Alec threatens Eduardo and has him removed, on his way out of town he is in a near fatal car crash. Eduardo nearly dies being transferred to another hospital where Mads can't find him. Mads discovers that Sutton slept with Thayer and blames Sutton for Thayer leaving for L.A. She doesn't know Sutton has a twin and she is talking to Emma. Next Ryan Harwell tries to date Mads, but she sees there's something between him and Sutton. Ryan tells Mads that Sutton came on to him and Mads pushes away from Emma. Emma gives up and tells Mads the truth that she is a twin and they made a switch. Mads becomes close with Emma and drops Sutton.
Mads works with Emma to free Ethan from suspicion that he killed Derek, but when clues point to her dad Alec she chooses to believe her father is innocent instead. Even when photos of her father surface that look bad she wants more proof and she and Thayer dig deeper. She is devastated to see her father arrested and that the murder weapon was found in her house.
Season Two
In The Revengers, after being hauled by the media Mads gets sick and tired of all the lies, she starts to drink, and does a drunken mistake of having sex with Jordan in a pool. She was very disturbed after the event and looked like a big mess after the pool sex when she showed up on the Mercer's door step to take Kristin's offer of living with her, Emma and Laurel while her dad is in jail.
In Cheat, Play, Love, Mads discovers that she slept with her step brother. Jordan is Rebecca's son from a previous marriage (unknown if also biological). She is creeped out and it's unclear whether Jordan knew this before hand or not. She tells him they need to just be friends, but she still have physical feelings for him. She confessed everything to Emma. Emma and Mads are silent on the issue to Laurel.
In Advantage Sutton, Mads relationship with Jordan heats up but hurts Laurel in the process.
In The Grave Truth, Mads sees who the bad guy is that broke into her house. She just got a body image though, not the ID. She then sees Jordan runnning out of the house where he tells her that the box in the locked cabinet is missing its contents.
In To Lie For, Mads finds out about Jordan's past when he is arrested. She learns that he killed his own brother.
