Madeline Fitzpatrick

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Madeline Margaret Genevieve Miranda Catherine Fitzpatrick, more commonly known as Maddie, is a character on the Disney Channel sitcom The Suite Life of Zack & Cody. Maddie has also appeared on "That's So Suite Life of Hannah Montana". Maddie is played by Ashley Tisdale, also notable for her role in the Disney Channel movie High School Musical as Sharpay Evans.

[edit] Background

Maddie is a sixteen-year-old girl who lives in Boston, Massachusetts across the street from Fenway Park. She works as a candy counter girl at the Tipton Hotel, though she isn't paid much (ex. she doesn't get paid overtime as said in The Ghost of 613 and only makes $6.00 an hour as the hotel inspector reveals in Hotel Inspector). She lives with her parents, brother, grandmother, and grandfather in a rundown apartment building. She is passionate, quite intelligent and dresses casually, often in her Catholic school's uniform. Most of the time Maddie is wearing her Tipton Hotel uniform with a touch of her father's Irving's neck-tie. Maddie has been known to be very sarcastic. She is middle-class, neither rich or impoverished, the exact opposite of her best friend, London Tipton. Maddie is sometimes bribed and treated as a servant by London, but she still values their friendship deep down. She is often very cynical and doubtful at times. Zack has a crush on Maddie. Maddie also works at the Cluck Bucket, although she is only seen there in one episode.

She is a strong supporter of environmental causes and she has dreamed of going to Paris, ever since she planned to go there for her parents' 25th anniversary. She wants to go to law school and is the Tipton's temporary day care worker. Maddie is part Irish and is afraid of "evil leprechauns". Zack often calls her "sweet thang" . London's present step-mom, Brandi Tipton, (as seen in "What the Hey?") seems to love Maddie and doesn't mind when Maddie calls her "mom", though London refuses to. Maddie appears in every episode except for one, "Loosely Ballroom".

Maddie has asthma, as revealed in "Kisses & Basketball," and was the lead singer of a band named Water Works. She is friends with Raven Baxter from That's So Raven and Hannah Montana (from Hannah Montana). Her outfit is different from the one in the first few episodes, which is gold in coloring.
