Madeline Cornelia Laine-Stephens

About the Job

Madeline Cornelia Laine-Stephens Supporting Role Age Range to Play: 48 to 60 Gender: Female Ethnicity: Open Aunt Madeline is the eldest and most disciplined of the Laine triplets. She rules her grand Queen Anne mansion and the social world of the Shores with the precision of a metronome and the standards of a royal court. She is elegant, stern, impeccably groomed, and carries herself like a woman who expects society to rise to her level. A natural strategist, Madeline is the family’s unofficial general, enforcing etiquette, order, and tradition with unshakable resolve. Her voice can silence a ballroom. Her glare can stop a senator mid-sentence. Yet beneath the crisp suits and controlled demeanor lies a woman who cares deeply for her family, even when they drive her toward early sainthood. Madeline is the one who keeps the Gala on track, the estates running, and the Laine reputation polished, even as Mary and the twins leave glitter fires in their wake. She is the comedic straight line in a world full of neon chaos, delivering sharp, understated humor through disbelief, exasperation, and bone-dry commentary. Her reactions to Mary’s antics, Tabatha’s hidden vigilante life, and the twins’ disasters create some of the series’ most iconic comedic beats. There is no nudity in this role. Scenes may include high society events, comedic conflict, and the ongoing chaos of life in the Shores, but Madeline herself is always decorous and fully covered, often in tailored couture. ⭐ • Strong deadpan comedic timing • Ability to portray elegance, control, and aristocratic authority • Facility with fast-paced dialogue and screwball-style exchanges • Comfort in upscale wardrobe and formal settings • Ability to balance sternness with warmth • Strong ensemble presence.
