Madeline was Naomi Davies's editor at Night News. She told Naomi that the Embankment tube station incident was a non-story and that she should instead prepare herself to interview the Health Secretary (AUDIO: Embankment Station) and admonished her for going off the grid. (AUDIO: Ruffling)
When Naomi and Charlotte Pollard told Madeline what was going on, she did not believe them and said that Naomi's footage was faked. She was going to call the police before London suffered a power outage, after which she accepted that strange things were going on and decided to have Naomi interview Rab on live television as an eye-witness.
