Main characters

*Madea
*Deacon Theodore Leroy Brown: Deacon Leroy Brown is one of Madea's friends, her neighbor and the father of her daughter (Cora). Brown is the same age of Madea, they both graduated in the class of 1953 (as shown in "Madea's Class Reunion"). Called just "Brown" most of the time, Brown loves to go to church, where he is a deacon. He often wears clothes too small for him, Madea implying that he shops at Baby Gap. He also shouts a lot at all music (thinking all music is church music). His wife died of Alzheimers and he cremated her and keeps her in a red Pringles can. He has appeared in: "I Can Do Bad All By Myself", "Madea's Family Reunion", "Madea's Class Reunion", "What's Done In The Dark", "Meet the Browns" and it's film by the same name. Brown is portrayed by David Mann.

*Cora Jean Simmons Brown: Cora is the daughter of Madea, and her father is Brown (which was shown in "Madea's Class Reunion"). Madea remembered in Class Reunion that Brown was her father. It is learned in "Class Reunion" that her middle name is Jean. Cora is middle-aged and works at Atlanta's Pandora Hotel. It was implied that she became manager in "Class Reunion". She was once stout and lost weight in "Class Reunion". She is very religious (like her father), and usually is trying to keep Madea out of jail (she did not appear in "Madea Goes to Jail", but was mentioned). Cora eventually bonded and moved in with her newly found dad. Cora is portrayed by Tamela Mann. Mann is the wife of David Mann who ironically portrays Cora's father, Deacon Leroy Brown. She also starred in the "Meet The Browns" movie along with her husband.Mable(madea)Simmons says that Cora Jean Simmions was born at Sheridan hospital as heard in Madea's family reunion(the play)
