Was it really necessary to kill him? I was really loving his pairing with Sienna, they were my favorite soap couple since Donna and Ross on Emmerdale and I feel the show could have gotten a lot of millage out of the Trienna pairing. They could have had Trevor and Sienna go on the run to escape Grace and Nico, it would have been a throwback to the super couples of the 80s on the US soaps. I really feel like his death nothing but wasted potential.

"Trienna" was popular and I think they would have liked it to keep going for longer but, since Greg Wood chose to leave, gave Trevor a bittersweet ending that showed that both Sienna and Grace loved him (and he them.)

The decision to have him be murdered by Nico is absolute sh*te though

Ok, I didn't know he diced to leave, surely it could have been an open ended death like Nico pushing him into a river or something else where his body isn't found so they can at least leave it open for his return in the future.

I actually enjoy Nico out of the 4 serial killer on the show she is my favorite

here is a random thought

we haven't ACTUALLY seen Trevor's body since he "died"

yes, we saw him collapse in Graces arms in the church but since then - nothing............

*please don't let Trevor be dead*

Good point maybe they are gonna pull a Freddie and have him turn up alive a few months later. I would love that, I want Trienna to get a happy ending.

I really wish they hadn't

Hopefully Nico will be shipped off somewhere never to return.

I cannot wait for Warren's return though!

Do you think Silas would go after Nico?

That could be good, but doesn't he just go after the "promiscuous" ones?

Either way I just want rid of her, can't stand it when she comes on the screen

Had been really enjoying Nico until she killed Trevor, i found it hilarious that this little girl is going around killing people. Once Nico dies maybe Tom and Perry's baby Steph can be the next serial killer they can call her the diaper strangler.

I know, especially Trevor who has survived much worse! Haha yes, have we seen her recently? Or is it another case of a baby just being forgotten about

As things are at the moment no because she isn't a slurrisome tart.

He might even applaud her aborted attempt at killing Theresa but give her a telling off for not deliberately going through with it. He wouldn't regard Trevor as a good person so would perhaps approve of Nico's attempt to save her mother from the evils of temptation. He'd see Will and Carly as self defence, or that of loved ones, but I'm not sure what he'd have made of the Patrick situation, he might have approved of Patrick.

I'm guessing if the actor chose to leave then there wasn't much they could do.
Shame though as he is one of the best ones in the soap.

They didnt need to kill him at all but the writers are so lazy on that mess of a show that Death is their default setting. They have not got the imagination or the respect for the viewers to think up a good well deserved exit.

Since 2013 there have been over 30 deaths on the show. Its is absolutely rediculous but somehow the tweens lap it up.

Well, it looks as if they are having one murder per week, so I guess it was just Trevor's turn. I'd rather she'd killed Sienna.

Too bad. Greg Wood was one of the very best actors on the show.

Disappointed. I was hoping to see Warren and Trevor have beef.

Steph is busy making her plans on who she's going to kill, she will kill all the neglectful parents in the village.....her first victim being since he abandoned his new born daughter.

To me all the British soaps seem to be obsessed with death, violent permanent deaths. In the 3 years I've been watching British soaps I've seen Corrie have Tina fall to the cobbles and have her head bashed in, Hayley commit suicide, Callum get his head based in, then on Emmerdale I've seen Katie fall to her death, Val impaled by a shard of glass, Donna throw herself off the roof of a building and thats all before even discussing the Hollyoaks deaths. The US soaps rarely do violent deaths like those any time they have attempted to do one they get a lot of backlash. Also the US soaps try to leave the door open for actors to return, if a character does die, usually they leave some loop hole so the character can be brought back at some point. It'd be nice if the British soaps did their deaths more like the that.

You really thought they'd axe one of the best actors and characters? I suppose anything to blame it on Kirkwood though.

Such as?

Trevor goes to prison. What for? Needs to be for a long time. Maybe they find a body of someone he's killed. A dead body nobody watching cares about, an arrest, a sentence and he's gone. How dull would that have been.

Trevor goes on the run. What for? Snatching Curtis perhaps? Thats not Trevor anymore. He's been changed by his PTSD, the death of Dylan and his connection with Sienna. It would have regressed him into a mindless criminal again.

Trevor and Sienna leave together? That would mean the show would have to axe Anna Passey. Big loss. Why lose two assets to the show when you can just lose one?

Trevor and Grace leave? Same thing and they clearly rate Tamara Wall as they're bringing in family for her.

Trevor's exit was good in that it was tragic and emotional. Characters involved were ones people cared about and hated. It was sad but there weren't many options for the show to take. Just because its an upsetting exit it doesn't mean its unimaginative or lazy. I thought the episodes this week have been amazing and very emotionally charged. Thats good soap.

Seems you're alone with that thought.

Killing everyone off is indeed lazy and just plain unimaginative.

Soaps have always been a fallback for actors. Hence if the producers didn't want the actor to leave they kill them off so they can't come back as a punishment. Those that left on good terms can come back. Warren is a good example. Jamie Lomas thanked the producers for giving him a second chance last time. This is now his third chance. I wonder if they brought Warren back just to fill the void. Actors have to give at least 6 months notice and it can't be a coincidence one leaves and another villain arrives.

Trevor was my favourite male character and I really liked Trienna. He didn't need to be killed off.

Not really I agree with Hankshaw. I dont see anything lazy nor unimaginative about it - they have given Trevor a good exit, what would you have preferred - possibly a taxi out of the village?
