So according to the "When Girls Collide" episode, back during Maddie's modeling days she dated a married man named "Anthony" who lived on Park Avenue in New York City. That's an interesting past tidbit about our straitlaced Madolyn Hayes. What do you think Maddie's experience with men has been before Moonlighting? How have those experiences affected how she responds to men throughout the show - to her dates on and off camera like Dr. Spelner the plastic surgeon in the Pilot; Sam the childhood friend/college boyfriend/astronaut between gigs (who has a patent for something 'sciency' and cool) ; David's brother the unsinkable Richie Addison; characters like Detective Donegan (season 5 - Eine Kleine Nacht Murder) and Paul McCain the radio personality (season 1 - The Next Murder You Hear); her dad Alexander Hayes; and of course her kismet relationship with the hero of the tale - David Addison Jr.?

I imagine she's gone out with many a high society type....even had a few semi serious ones as Davd has pointed out. But none of them made her happy. Hmmmmm.......wonder why that is.....
Because they bored her every single one! The plastic surgeon and even Sam and his cornflakes.
David made her feel alive.

Yes, I'm answering almost a year later because that's how much I loved this show. LOL That's it. David made her feel what none of the others did - full of life. Why did she resist? She seemed to be afraid of veering away from her criteria for an ideal possible relationship and also of becoming a different person. Because if she's with a man like David, then how would she become different? Did she think she'd lose her sense of self? I think it boiled down to Maddie being afraid of change which is connected to being afraid of a loss of control over ourselves and the what we want our lives to be - which is often different from what our lives actually are. That's an issue for a lot of people, I think.

I absolutely agree with you maddieaddisonjr. We only have one life to live and if we want to be about sure that we didn't miss something/someone important, we have to remain open, and particularly open to change. I think she had a picture in her head of what she wanted to be, how she wanted to live her life, and she found that reassuring. All she had to do was to find someone that would fit in the picture. What she didn't expect is that the one man she would have special feeling for, the man that made her feel alive, would not fit in her picture! She just couldn't handle that. So what would she do : change her picture or reassess her requirements? She thought time would choose for her...

That awful conversation with her therapist in WGC just showed that she was still in heavy denial. Manageable relationship, HA! She could never see the forest for the trees, and she blew it. |
