Talk:Brenda Leigh Johnson

message: *I'm going to create a page for the character Brenda Lee Johnson. I'm thinking along the lines of the page that exists for Robert Goren. In fact, I'm going to use the template "Template:LawandOrderCharacter" since there is not a character template for The Closer. Right now, I'm working in the sandbox. Anyone got any problems, email me.  (UTC)ktoonen 00:14, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

message: Is it me, or...
Do pardon me for asking this question (possibly) the wrong way in format, but I must know.  Is it me, or is Brenda pregnant in the show?  She seems to show the symptoms in the show: dizziness, fever, hot flashes, stomach cramps; among the few.  It's been making me curious since the start of season 3.  An answer would be appreciated.  Thank you (not imitating Brenda, mind you, I'm not Prevenze (though the way he imitated her was hilarious)).  Neo Guyver

message: I just started watching the show, but TNT has it as "Leigh" on their own web site, so I reverted the edit that made it "Lee." Dstumme (talk) 22:44, 14 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: The current plaque on her desk just says Brenda Johnson; some editors had claimed it said Brenda Lee, so that's been fixed. Drmargi (talk) 07:28, 29 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text:  Per TNTdrama.com's website - the correct spelling is "Lee" - if you search for "Brenda Johnson" (or Brenda Leigh Johnson and/or Brenda Lee Johnson), it all takes you to the same updates about the show - the most recent of which is, "The department is still reeling with the recent departure of Detective Brenda Lee Johnson..." (in describing the episode "Reloaded" when the department morphed into being Major Crimes).  See:  http://www.tntdrama.com/search/searchresults.jsp?query=brenda%20lee%20johnson&searchType=all - I was unable to find anything on this TNT "The Closer" site using the spelling "Leigh".  It was also spelled "Lee" in the DVD sets' episode guides/descriptions, and I do remember seeing it on paperwork, etc., as "Lee" during certain episodes.  Finally, "Lee" (vs. Leigh) would be the appropriate way to spell it if she were, as her character represents, born in the "South".  8/12/13 Tcbarnes (talk) 03:46, 13 August 2013 (UTC)
replies: text:  The problem we've had is that the spelling hasn't been consistent across sources or even from TNT early on.  However, TNT does refer to Brenda as Brenda Leigh in some places on the site (see the farewell card, for example.)  But more importantly, James Duff, the show's creator and executive producer/showrunner/head writer, etc.  writes a blog (published by TV Guide) in which he routinely refers to her as Brenda Leigh.  Consequently, there's been no question for some time that this is the correct spelling of her middle name.  DVD's are manufactured by external companies, and they can make errors.  The blog is definitive because it's written by Duff.  This needs to be discussed before any changes can be made.  --Drmargi (talk) 06:23, 13 August 2013 (UTC)
