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.
