Madeira is the daughter of Glenn Ford and Colleen Teasdale Ford. Throughout her life Madeira and her family had been terrorized by Colleen Teasdale II, her mother’s clone who felt that she was supposed to be with Glen and that Madeira was really her child. On the eve of Madeira’s fifteenth birthday, it all came to a tragic end when Colleen was brutally stabbed to death by Mercedes who then tried to kidnap Madeira, but was unsuccessful. Mercedes was then arrested. Madeira started cutting her wrists because it was the only pain that she could control and express. Her father only realized the extent of her problem when he found her passed out on her bed. She was then admitted to the Port Oak rehabilitation centre where she got the help she needed.

After meeting Andrew at the Port Oak train station, they fell in love despite their parents objections. After the two made love, a woman named Dylan Owen came to town. Owen believed that Madeira was her daughter. Not believing it, her parents had a blood test done, the blood test came back positive, meaning that the babies were switched at birth and Madeira was court ordered to live with Dylan. The test was positive b/c Dylan had had the lab technician switch the results in her favour. This caused Andrew to spiral into of drug addiction and Madeira to pick up the knife again. After learning that Madeira was being forced to live with her fake mother, the lab tech had a change of heart and revealed the truth. Of course it was too little to late, because Andrew was in a coma and Madeira had started cutting again.

After learning the truth, she decided to go visit her sister the Duchess Kathleen Ford Stanton of Canterbury after hearing she was having a difficult pregnancy. She needed space from the town to reflect about her past choices and decided that England was the place to do it. Before she left however, Dylan Owen was found murdered in a back alley way. Madeira was arrested for the murder, because she had been having a heated discussion with her not 2 nights before hand. She was found innocent. The real murderer was Mercedes Teasdale. She had been in cahoots with Dylan to wreak more havoc on Madeira for not wanting to be her daughter.

Before she left, Halen came to her despite they’re differences asking her to come visit Andrew in the hospital, she refused for fear of seeing her former lover in that state. She could not forgive nor could she even conceive of even forgetting about what had happened between them. While, she hated that there was so much bad blood between them, but there was many things said and done that she regretted. She returned to Port Oak in September with a fiancé, Lord Charlie Harrington, who has some secrets of his own.
