In ''[[Portal 2 - The Final Hours|The Final Hours of Portal 2]]'', a screenshot of an early human co-op campaign can be found. The screenshot depicts the player staring at their co-op partner, who is dressed in the same early jumpsuit design for ''Portal 2''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s Chell. However, it appears to be lacking the ponytail hair Chell had and the face appears to be much younger than Chell's development stage at that time, suggesting that the woman in the screenshot is an early design of Mel.

~~In the~~ ''[[Portal 2]]'' ~~mod~~ ''[[Portal Stories: Mel]]''~~, Mel is the main character.~~

* Although the human co-op concept was scrapped, several [[GLaDOS]] voice lines making reference to the women's weight were reused in the game's release for comedic effect, due to [[Atlas]] and [[P-body]] being robots.<ref name="Joystiq-Preview-Portal-2-Co-op" />

* Her placeholder texture is a skin group of [[Chell]]'s model from ~~''[[Portal]]''~~, which is present and separate from the ''Portal 2'' Chell model in the game files, however the model lacks animations.

* Her placeholder texture is a skin group of [[Chell]]'s model from the first game, which is present and separate from the ''Portal 2'' Chell model in the game files, however the model lacks animations since they are used for ''Portal 2''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s model.

* The character of Mel is reused in the ''[[Portal 2]]'' mod ''[[Portal Stories: Mel]]'', in which she is the main character. This iteration of Mel has a unique design making her distinct from Chell, rather than a simple palette swap.
