I would love to see her be on screen after the helmet scene on Friday, if they cast the right woman I reckon she'll be comical

Probably not, the same as EastEnders will never cast Fat Elvis.

You never know but I suppose you're right, maybe the mystery of what they look like will actually ruin their 'character' if you get me?

Lorraine Bruce should be cast in the role

Yeah, I think that's why. The same reason that we've never seen Mr Poppadoppolous's face, if I recall correctly.

She has her own Twitter account

and there was a play about her

With Steve Hulson out of The Full Monty playing Brenda

I was thinking the exact same person!!

i think like Howards mum from the big bang theory she is best staying as a unknown character . how do we not know that if they cast Brenda and she turns out be nothing like the Brenda we know and love right now

Fat Brenda works as a character because we never see her on screen.
