Connor originally wrote Lydia's backstory that she was paralyzed from the waist down from an injury at age seven.<ref>http://specialchildren.about.com/od/inthecommunity/p/arthurcontest.htm ([https://web.archive.org/web/20100626180109/http://specialchildren.about.com/od/inthecommunity/p/arthurcontest.htm archived page])</ref> However, this idea was not kept in the TV episode, where Lydia instead says she has been that way since birth.

In Connor's original entry, Lydia's full name was Lydia Fox. In the voice credits for "The Wheel Deal", her name was changed to '''Lydia Gordon''',<ref name="thewheeldealcredits" /> presumably in reference to Connor Gordon, though this last name is not spoken in the episode itself. In "Little Miss Meanie", the full name Lydia Fox is said aloud multiple times. | In Connor's original entry, Lydia's full name was Lydia Fox.
