TREVOR ON CO-STARS

Trevor on Dan Gauthier (Kevin)

(on his friendship with Dan) "Our wives are friends, so we hang out a lot. We went to an Ingmar Bergman movie the other day, and afterwards had some barbecue and beers." (TVGO 7/13/04)

(on whether or not his real-life friendship with Dan Gauthier, Kevin, makes Todd and Kevin's on-screen feud more interesting) "It probably does. We've chosen not to make it a typical, antagonistic relationship. That would be boring." (SOD 7/27/04)

(on the firing of Dan Gauthier from OLTL) "OLTL's decision to fire Dan Gauthier is difficult to understand. Dan is a terrific actor, one of the best in daytime, and a dear, dear friend to everybody on the show. I'm sure he'll find another place where his talent is appreciated. I'll miss him at work every day, and I think the show will be poorer for his absence. I can only imagine the fans' reaction to the loss of such a great asset to the show." (SID 9/26/06)

(after being asked what's the best practical joke played recently on the OLTL set) "Well, I'm hoping it was Dan [Gauthier, soon-to-be-ex-Kevin] getting fired." (SOD 11/14/06)

(on the firing of Dan Gauthier [Kevin]) "It's a mistake -- they made a mistake. It's the only thing I can think of where you'd take someone who's extremely good at what they do, good-looking, professional and a joy to be around, and fire them.... But you know what? He's going to go and do some prime-time show or some other soap will pick him up and he'll be appreciated." (SOD 11/14/06)

(about Dan Gauthier [Kevin]) "He has had more experience than any other actor on the show, and that's what's just so absurd. What are they going to do, recast it? They can't recast it. What are they going to do, find somebody better? This was the best Kevin they ever had and everybody will tell you that, from guys on the crew, stage managers, other actors, fans -- the best Kevin they ever had. and what are they gonna do, bring him back as another actor? You can't do it. It's done." (SOD 11/14/06)

(on Dan's reaction to being fired from OLTL) "Dan is fine. He enjoyed being on the show and is looking forward to working. He's handling it like the professional that he is, with grace and humor and a sense of incredulity, like we all are." (SOD 11/14/06)

"Dan Gauthier (Kevin) was just in the studio to shoot One Life to Live’s 10,000thK episode. It was terrific to have him around, and we’re all secretly hoping that the show can find a way to bring Kevin back for good." (Official Website Blog 7/7/07)

(on Dan's 2007 Emmy nomination) "Many of you probably know how upset I was when Dan Gauthier (Kevin) was fired. He’s one of the world’s really good guys, not to mention a truly fine actor. So I’m just thrilled about his Emmy nomination. No one deserves it more." (Official Website Blog 3/14/07)

Trevor on Kristen Alderson (Starr)

(to a fan's comment about how natural TSJ is with Kristen Alderson [Starr]) "Well, that's wonderful and just makes my day. That's the best compliment you can ever given an actor." (SID 9/26/06)

"Happy birthday on May 29 to the best TV daughter I ever had. Kristen Alderson (Starr) makes it easy to portray that on-screen bond; she’s a terrific young woman and you couldn’t find a harder working professional in the business. I know many of you count yourself among her fans, just like I do." (Official Website Blog 5/25/07)

(about Kristen Alderson) "She's the sweetest thing in the world. A great gal. And she just turned sixteen. She's going to be a beautiful young woman. She hasn't changed; hasn't become pretentious or full of herself. She's taking on more responsibility as an actor and doing a fine job." (SoapTownUSA.com 6/30/07)

Trevor on Erika Slezak (Viki)

(on Erika Slezak [Viki]) "She's the consummate professional, and is just a rock. There's nobody better in this genre than her. She's just a perfect actor for this." (SID 8/1/06)

"No discussion of the great women on “One Life to Live” would be complete without Erika Slezak (Viki). Having the opportunity to play the brother of a daytime legend — it doesn’t get any better than that." (Official Website Blog March 2007)

Trevor on Michael Easton (John)

(naming his first celebrity crush) "Michael Easton." (SOW 9/30/08)

"Michael Easton and I had a lot of fun working together." (SoapTownUSA.com 6/30/07)

Trevor on Renee Elise Goldsberry (Evangeline)

(on playing the drums) "I'm not playing with a band right now, but I still practice quite a bit. I've been playing with Renee Goldsberry [Evangeline]. I've been playing a hand drum that I picked up and we've been writing music together. She sings beautifully." (SOD 1/11/05)

(on allegations that his contract negotiations were tied to those of Renee Goldsberry [Evangeline]) "I would never interfere in Renee's business." (SID 5/1/07)

“I thought it was a terrific relationship (Todd and Evangeline). I think it really is too bad that they didn't ask Renee to come back. ... I don't know the ins-and-outs. I wasn't privy to her contract negotiations, but I know that if you want someone back, you get them back. You work with them, you negotiate. There were no negotiations. It's just too bad. It's really too bad." (SoapTownUSA.com 6/30/07)

"Since she’s already let you all know, I suppose it’s okay for me to comment on Renee Goldsberry’s (Evangeline) departure. I’m terribly disappointed that her contract wasn’t renewed and I miss her sunny presence on the set." (Official Website Blog 6/15/07)

"Renee Goldsberry (Evangeline) is just a joy, a genuinely good person." (Official Website Blog March 2007)

Trevor on Other Co-stars

(on Tari Signor, who plays Margaret) "She's a really sweet person. She's working with a massive amount of dialogue. She's just a trouper. She's a real professional and a great gal." (SOD 2/15/05)

(on working with Paul Satterfield [Spencer]) "Well, I'm always trying to make him laugh. It's happened quite frequently when we're trying our best to keep a straight face. ... I think it's more fun to try to find the comedy in the scene than to make it antagonistic all the time. So I'll do something silly, and he'll try to contain it." (SOD 2/7/06)
