"House of Cards" Actress Cast as Norma's Doppelganger

"Bates Motel" viewers will be seeing double when A&E’s Psycho thriller returns with its fifth and final season next year.
TVLine has learned exclusively that Isabelle McNally (House of Cards) is set to recur as Madeleine Loomis, a warm and kindhearted woman who bears a striking resemblance to a young Norma Bates (Vera Farmiga).
It’s not clear how exactly Madeleine will figure into Season 5, but her last name suggests she will somehow be connected to the arrival of Rihanna’s Marion Crane. In the original film, Marion’s boyfriend was named Sam Loomis. And, as we reported, "Bates Motel" is currently casting its own version of Sam.
My guess: Madeleine is Sam’s wife and Marion unwittingly becomes the Other Woman.
