Madison James is a fictional character from the NBC Daytime soap opera, Days of Our Lives, created by head-writers Marlene Clark Poulter and Darrell Ray Thomas, Jr.. She was portrayed by actress Sarah Joy Brown, who made her onscreen debut on the episode that aired October 4, 2011. Madison is introduced into the series as the headstrong CEO of Mad World Cosmetics and as a potential love interest for Brady Black (Eric Martsolf). She is also a longtime competitor and rival against series veteran Kate Roberts (Lauren Koslow) and her resurrection of Countess Wilhelmina. Originally introduced with an unknown past, the pre-Salem secrets of Madison's life begin to become exposed as she continues to live her life in Salem. In April 2012, it was announced that Brown was let go from Days of our Lives, and Madison last appeared on August 15, 2012.
"I want to bring joy to my audience. I am having fun. And if its drama and it’s good and well-written, and people who are writing it are watching what is going on out there, this could be amazing. I know what kind of show in the daytime would get my daughter, my mother, and me all running to the TV set. So I am really exciting about this and I think Greg Meng knows that too."
In July 2011, it was announced that soap veteran Sarah Joy Brown would join the cast of Days of our Lives as newly created character Madison James. Brown, best known for her role as Carly Corinthos from 1996 to 2001 on the ABC Daytime series General Hospital, had just finished her run as Aggie Jones on the CBS Daytime soap The Bold and the Beautiful. Brown remained with the soap on a contract status until February 2011, when she was dropped to recurring.
