I was doing research on Bob the Builder's origins and I found out that Wendy was originally going to be a male character called Lenny (that name would then be used for an unrelated character in the series)
so then they decided to make her a female, with the stereotypes going on at the time she was originally going to be a ditzy secretary type but eventually became the cool hard worker that we know today
I think this is iconic, because this was like a big change for kids tv, with characters like Wendy and Penny from Fireman Sam, girls who watched those shows were able to see women working in those professions and see them be treated normally, and not as stereotypes
welcome to can-do-crew, an ask blog for the cast of the classic Bob the Builder series! all post type & character tags are listed below for sake of ease. enjoy!!
De storm is gaan liggen na de overstap van Wendy en Linda. Maar wat kunnen RTL en SBS doen om de zenders tot een succes te maken?

I made a horizontal portrait of Sam Jones from Fireman Sam and Wendy O'Loughlin from Bob the Builder.
Sam and Wendy Jones from Fireman Sam and Bob the Builder - 5th June 2023
Wendy wears sunshine yellow turtleneck sweater, dark beige pants and brown summer flats. In her builder's outfit, she wore red jacket with silver zipper, white shirt, green pants and tan boots.
Right after she had lost her first husband Bob, Wendy got herself remarried to Sam and she and her kids have moved in and lived with him and his family in Pontypandy, Wales.
just wanted to doodle Wendy in my other favorite outfit of hers! she's so pretty :')) had to cut it short tho cause my iPad's about to bite the dust lol
