Madeline became a character on TP, because David Lynch
became enamored (cinematically speaking) with Sheryl Lee--the
Seatle actress he hired to play the dead Laura Palmer.  He cast
her as Madeline and the Good Witch in Wild at Heart.  This doesn't
refute the possibity that Madeline/Laura switch is the solution
to the murder mystery, because the scripting of this show is
obviously something akin to "Automatic Writing."  In other words,
the storyline, which is satirical, parodic, baroque, and twisted,
is ultimately structureless and irrelevent.  This is a signature
of Post-modernist artistic expression.
