Brenda Williams was the wife of Barry Williams and mother of Rhys. She also had a daughter.

Biography

Early life

Brenda enjoyed listening to the music of Otis Redding because she knew her sister, Jean, did not like it. She put a china sheep that Jean gave her on display despite not liking it and missed her once she was gone. (AUDIO: Sonny) She married Barry Williams and would later note that she arrived on time for her wedding. They had a son, Rhys, (TV: Something Borrowed) who was born in North Wales, (AUDIO: The Sin Eaters) as well as a daughter. (PROSE: Slow Decay)

Brenda and Barry were happy when Rhys joined the Boy Scouts as it meant that they were able to rekindle their sex life and she criticised Barry's driving when he took the family to places like Trecco Bay and St Fagans in the summer. (AUDIO: Visiting Hours) Whilst working as a chambermaid, she found several pornographic magazines in people's bedrooms and left one on its owner's pillow. She received a large tip afterwards. (AUDIO: Sonny)

Rhys's relationship

Brenda and Barry did not approve of Rhys's relationship with Gwen Cooper, whose mother, Mary, she did not get along with. (TV: Something Borrowed) She also complained about how rarely Rhys visited her and they once had an argument at Christmas. (TV: Everything Changes)

Brenda and her husband attended Rhys and Gwen's wedding and she spent much of her time trading insults with Mary. Brenda was mistaken for a Nostrovite by Torchwood Three, but Gwen correctly identified her due to her "hideous" perfume. She was later retconned and was no longer reluctant to have Gwen as her daughter-in-law. (TV: Something Borrowed)

Unlike Mary and Geraint, Brenda did not understand why Rhys and Gwen left Cardiff (PROSE: First Born) following what she called "that business with the kids". (AUDIO: Visiting Hours) She informed them when she was visited by people looking for them and asked for an address so that she could send a teddy bear to her newborn granddaughter, Anwen. They were unable to give her one. (PROSE: First Born)
