Trivia[]
- Her granddaughter, Alice Michelle is named after her, along with Alice's other grandmother (Doc's mother), Alice Holliday.[1]
- In the episode Purgatory, her name is listed as "Wendy Rossie" on the family tree Waverly made. Emily Andras explained on a twitter post that the name was written by the art department simply to fill a void on the wall. It should not be thought of as canon.
- The character of Michelle was named after Emily Andras' best friends, both named Michelle. One of them is Michelle Lovretta, the creator and showrunner of Killjoys and Lost Girl, both of which Emily has written for and co-produced.[citation needed]
- The showrunner's personal fancasts for the character were Sigourney Weaver and Lucy Lawless,[2][3] the latter of whom Emily had a Twitter exchange with about the possibility of playing the role.[4]
- She was the Carnival Queen, back in 1996, according to a poster in Pussy Willows.[citation needed]
