Brenda "Switchboard" McTech is the lovely self-dubbed “Guru of Gossip.” There's nothing Switchboard won't do, and very little she hasn't done, to find the latest "dirt" and dish it out at the teen country club. However, she was shown to be very reluctant to spread false gossip. Her younger brother is ultra-precocious Chester. Voiced by Joanna Schellenburg.

Appearance[]

Switchboard has fair skin and brown eyes. She also has red lipstick and blue eyeshadow. Her long light brown hair is pulled back in a ponytail with a pink bow. Her trademark is her pink glasses. She appears to stand at about 5 feet 5 inches tall.

Biography[]

Although Switchboard is a gossipmonger, she is rarely if ever malicious in her intent. The closest she comes is the rumors she spreads in Nothing But Gossip, but even this is done largely to impress Mona Blabbitt.

Switchboard is somewhat close with her brother Chester and is one of the few people allowed access to his lab. She is a somewhat brilliant girl but she can be lazy at times.

Despite being an attractive girl, it does not appear that Switchboard has a dating life, although Gig and Pierce have both expressed interest in her.

Trivia[]

  • Switchboard started life as Sandra McTech, without a nickname but still Chester’s older sister. A preliminary spec script for The Dog Ate My Homework from April 1987 refers to her as Lindsey. When the nickname “Switchboard “ was introduced in May, her given name was to be Claire. Other given names considered for her include Emily, Vicki, and Alicia.
  • In the German-dubbed version, Switchboard is called "Trixie Tratsch" ("Tratsch" means "gossip" in German) .
