Outer Banks’ Madison Bailey Subtly Shuts Down Rudy Pankow Feud Rumors

Outer Banks' Madison Bailey Subtly Shuts Down Rudy Pankow Feud Rumors

As a die-hard Outer Banks fan, I can’t help but feel a swell of affection for this tight-knit group. The bond between these actors goes beyond their characters, and it’s heartwarming to see them stand by each other through thick and thin.


Looks like there’s nothing but love among the Pogues. 

Following the surprising end of the Outer Banks series where Rudy Pankow’s character Jackson “JJ” Mayback was killed off, his co-star Madison Bailey, known for her role as Kiara Carrera on the show, posted a supportive message subtly quashing rumors that they had issues while filming together.

In a picture posted to her Instagram on November 14th, Madison posed with a ukulele while her co-star Chase Stokes (depicting John B Routledge) played an electric guitar in his character’s makeshift bedroom set. Close by, Jonathan Daviss (Pope Heyward) and Rudy lounged on the bed, taking in the tranquil music session and gazing at the ceiling overhead.

In a simple and conversational manner, Madison captioned the photo with “P4L,” symbolizing the unbreakable bond between their characters and The Pogue’s friendship that lasts a lifetime.

In the spirit of unity and camaraderie, I too joined the chorus of love that echoed far and wide after JJ’s passing. Just as Rudy paid tribute to our shared cast in the wake of the season’s grand conclusion, so did I, expressing my deepest gratitude for the priceless moments we’ve shared together on this incredible journey.

In a post on Instagram dated November 15, the 26-year-old expressed that mere gratitude falls short. Verbalizing five years of shared memories, hard work, and dedication with this unique group of cast, crew, writers, producers, and artists is beyond words.

He went on to express his gratitude, saying, “For now, let me extend my heartfelt thanks.” Thank you to everyone involved and to you for embarking on an unforgettable treasure hunt. Lastly, a special thanks to my friend JJ Maybank – thank you, I’ll cherish you forever.

There’s been an increase in talk about a disagreement between Madison and Rudy, as viewers have started wondering if they employed stand-ins to shoot a lovey-dovey scene for their on-screen characters, who are portrayed as dating within the series.

In the final, pivotal scene, I found myself leaning my head on JJ’s shoulder as we all gathered around the crackling campfire with our beloved Pogues. This included Chase’s John B, Jonathan’s Pope, Madelyn Cline’s Sarah Cameron, and Carlacia Grant’s Cleo Anderson. Yet, whenever the camera focused on us, it seemed to capture only one of our faces at a time – a creative editing decision that left some viewers questioning if there might be tension between us.

Moreover, although neither Madison nor Rudy have commented on the body double theory, it is worth noting that Rudy had previously defended his long-term girlfriend, Elaine Siamek, against negative remarks from internet bullies who were displeased that he wasn’t romantically involved with Madison in reality.

2021 saw Rudy penning on Instagram about the significance of promoting positivity in our era of open dialogue and awareness. He emphasized that it’s crucial to consider when it’s inappropriate to criticize something or someone, particularly when hiding behind a pseudonymous identity.

Madison, who has been in a relationship with college basketball player Mariah Linney since 2020, has also established some limits for fans of the romantic dynamics between Kiara and JJ. In an interview with Entertainment Tonight back in 2020, she said, “Madison and Kiara, and Rudy and JJ, are two separate individuals. Let’s keep the romantic pairings within the show. However, I fully support their romance on the screen.
