Biography
Brenda and Barry were happy when Rhys joined the Boy Scouts as it meant that they were able to rekindle their sex life. She criticised Barry's driving when he took the family to places like Trecco Bay and St Fagans in the summer. (AUDIO: Visiting Hours)

She and her husband attended Rhys's wedding to Gwen Cooper, whose mother Brenda disliked and with whom she spent much of her time trading insults. Brenda was mistaken for a Nostrovite by Torchwood Three, but Gwen correctly identified her due to her "hideous" perfume. She was later retconed and was no longer reluctant to have Gwen as her daughter-in-law. (TV: Something Borrowed)

Brenda had hip replacement surgery at St Helen's Hospital and was visited by Rhys, who discovered Mr Tate and Mr Nichols' mission to kidnap her for Ronald Fletcher to transplant some of her organs into Prince Abdullah. He kept her safe until the operation failed, after which the Cleaners came after them and they hid in the mortuary until they had gone. In the morning, Brenda reflected on how strange the world had become since Rhys married Gwen and he promised he would not wait so long before seeing her again. (AUDIO: Visiting Hours)

Brenda sent recipes to Rhys after he and Gwen moved to Iceland, including one for lasagne. (AUDIO: Misty Eyes)
