Pregnancy
In June 1962, Brenda announces on The Corny Collins Show that she will soon be taking a leave of absence from the council for "nine months," thus opening up a spot for Tracy to end up filling.

It is heavily implied in the original Broadway staging and in the 2007 movie that the father of her unborn baby is, in fact, Corny Collins. In addition, based on the original staging, Brenda isn't the only council member to have had a fling with Corny. It is suggested that Corny has been making his rounds through the female dancers on the show.

Brenda's name and phone number have been posted across various venues in Baltimore, including the Patterson Park High School playground and the Baltimore Women's House of Detention. Her message always stated: "For a good time, call Brenda – TU8-6273."
