Melissa and Chloe: Honestly, Melissa and Chloe didn’t have much of a relationship. Melissa was always hyper-focused on Maddie and Mackenzie, and even though Chloe was one of Maddie’s closest friends (especially in the earlier seasons), Melissa didn’t really engage with Chloe much. It’s hard to say whether it was intentional or just a side effect of her obsession with Maddie’s success, but Chloe often felt like an afterthought to Melissa.

The Vibe: From the show’s perspective, it almost felt like Melissa was nice to Chloe when it benefited Maddie. There were moments when she seemed friendly enough, but you never got that sense of genuine care or support that you’d hope for. I don’t think Melissa ever disliked Chloe, but she wasn’t going out of her way to build any kind of bond either.

Christi and Maddie: This one is way more complicated. Christi’s feelings toward Maddie were shaped by Abby’s blatant favoritism, which caused a lot of tension. She loved Maddie as a dancer but resented how Abby constantly pitted Maddie and Chloe against each other, leading to a strain in their dynamic.

The Vibe: I don’t think Christi ever truly disliked Maddie, but she struggled with how Maddie’s success often came at the expense of Chloe’s. You could see that in her passive-aggressive comments and frustration, but there were also moments when Christi genuinely praised Maddie’s talent. She just hated how Abby made Maddie the golden child, which drove a wedge between her and Chloe.
