A local news interview with Connor from KARE, an NBC affiliate in the Minneapolis-St Paul area, hinted in 2010 that Lydia may become a permanent character on the show.<ref>http://www.kare11.com/news/news_article.aspx?storyid=876750 ([https://web.archive.org/web/20141116094003/http://archive.kare11.com/news/news_article.aspx?storyid=876750 archived page])</ref> Despite CVS Caremark's 2009 claim that Lydia was planned to be in two additional episodes,<ref name="cvscaremark"/> these episodes were not actually in development at all.<ref name="ECC">http://elwoodcitycentral.createaforum.com/arthur-news/arthur-ny-comic-con-2013/msg1747/#msg1747 ([https://web.archive.org/web/20131227061832/http://elwoodcitycentral.createaforum.com/arthur-news/arthur-ny-comic-con-2013/msg1747/ archived page])</ref> However, Lydia will appear in [[season 18]],<ref name="ECC"/><ref>https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=541987352560240 (see description)</ref> over 6 years later. | |||
