At this point AMC lost all chredibility with me,there's is no way Janet would kill Trevor,she loved him,no matter how off she went,something she tried to prepare for that's why she chose to go to an institite,she knew there was a part of her that was still off,but she was determined to beat it,so she would never kill trevor who was there for her thick/thin,he believed in her,an she needed that.
James Kiberd was a jerk to Kate Collins, causing her to quit. He caused more problems behind the scenes, and AMC fired him and wrote off the Dillon family. Killing off his character was just a way to get rid of the character and to bring Collins back as Janet. Guess they did not want to recast Trevor.
I'll never forgive this for this plot. There's NO WAY Janet would have killed Trevor. Absolutely none. Also, Kate Collins was a good Natalie but Robin Mattson was an awesome Janet.
I JUST SAID THE SAME DAMN THING. The actor playing Trevor must have pissed off somebody because Janet would have NEVER done this... if you saw this from beginning to end.
What a stupid twist! When Robin Mattson replaced Kate Collins (who played "Natalie" & "Janet"), she had transformed and was happily married to "Trevor." I liked the actress who played "Amanda" as a kid--unusually good for a kid actor on soaps, as was Tommy J. Michaels as "Timothy Hunter Dillon" ("Tim Man"), who was allowed to grow up on the show, and The Dillon's dog "Harold" was even a semi-regular character in those days.
"The Dillons" in those days were about the happiest family on "AMC" outside of "The Martins." "Trevor" had a unique style, and I loved his nicknames for his family--"Dollface" for "Natalie," "Tinkerbell" or "Tink" for niece "Haley" (and he "Uncle Porkchop"), and "Janet From Another Planet" for "bad Janet Green."
Megan McTavish's 3rd stint as head writer during this time. She infamously hated that Janet had recovered from mental illness under (her supposed rival) renowned AMC head writer Lorraine Broderick. As we know, Broderick returned to write the final months of All My Children - resurrected Dixie, passively ret-conned Trevor's death (it was from then-on referred to as "Trevor simply died, then Janet froze him because she couldn't accept his death"), and undid a number of awful things that happened under McTavish & later Charles Pratt, while bringing the HEART back into All My Children.
the way they killed trevor off was out of character for janet. yet i know why he had to be killed off. its because robin mattson was unavailible to return and kate collins left because she HATED james kiberd (trevor) and they couldn't recast him. they wanted janet back so trevor had to die. apparently james kiberd was a jerk to work with and a pervert. he french kissed kate collins during a scene and she never forgave him for it or something like that. im not sure. but i know they did not get along.
What was RM doing then? I know she was briefly back on GH. And she wasn't on ATWT until 07. I think they were going to kill him off anyway because it's Frons and RM probably hated that idea.
"Janet" started off a nutcase, but the love of her daughter brought her around and she & "Trevor" had genuinely fallen in love, married. I read that Collins was returning to the role briefly, so they must have had "Janet" cross the sanity line again? This is why this soap is going down the tubes--no respect for its past good points, re-writing already-resolved plots--the same mentality that on one prime-time soap wrote an entire season off as a dream!
Between this and the arrival of "Fetus Boy" Madden,the show lost what little credibility it had left.Of course since it had already become the Ruin and Greenme show,there wasn't much left anyway.
iu so agree that sounds better then janet killing trevor cause shes crazy. he going nuts cause he had dies of a heart attack or car accident is more believable
The only time JANET really lloved TREVOR is when KATE COLLINS played the character. After that ROBIN MATTSON played JANET, JANET said many times, that she didn't love TREVOR they way she did when she first met him, that she just wanted to be with AMANDA. Not saying thats why she killed him. WE ALL know shes was off her medication. But could explain why she did it so easy.
This is very true. She was all into him when Collins played Janet. That version even killed Will to prove her love for Trevor. Mattson''s Janet was all into Amanda, not Trevor. She had a thing for Tad and then got involved with Pierce. I actually hated that they put Trevor and Janet together given what she did to Natalie. I mean, I would have rather they put Trevor with Brooke than Janet.
@@grobanworldnews4216 Right. The writers were all over the place after TREVOR realized that JANE COX was really JANET. It would have been more interesting if the writers didn't try to make TREVOR and JANET a family bond. Its just didn't make sense AT ALL. I rather they had put JANET into other scenarios that dealt with crimes, and mystery with other characters like her old jail cell mate that was black mailing her. The TAD and JANE COX situation was interesting too. oH....And they should of kept TREVOR a detective instead of a lawyer. Not decent writing at all.
Yes. Kelly Giddish played Diana "Di" Henry, initially a recast of Dixie, but later (upon Cady McClain's availability) revealed to be Dixie's half-sister pretending to be her.
I really hated that they did this. Trevor was a great character and killing him off. Was not a cool thing to do. Especially when they brought Amanda back all grown up.
This was AMC turning unwatchable. There was no reason to kill off Trevor. Just for cheap dramatics. Really poor writing. I don't think AMC was watchable after 2001 or so.
@@juanlee4379 No he meant 2001. That was the last on top year for AMC. It was the last year Susan Lucci was actually a lead. It became the Kendall and Greenlee show right after.

After they took pre 9-11 programming out of all my children, the show got terrible ! The entire janet vs Natalie plot was all about the aliens that were comeing to earth to repace us . But they blew up the twin towers to stop it . They were hiding some very scary things under thouse 2 towers ! Things that were going to end the human race thats why they destroyed the two towers .

I agree
You’re right especially round this time they went on a killing spree. Killing legacy characters just for shock value
The storyline was completely ridiculous and we lost a great character that was beloved by the audience Trevor Dillon.
@@mikevickphi you lost him when he left Pine Valley. All that killing did was close that Storyline with him

Happiest family ?? TA WHA? There was constant drama and chaos all the time.
It happened when AMC had lost its way and a bad head writer. Ridiculous storyline for beloved characters. A bit like the pancake story for Dixie.

Your totally right. When they killed him off, I wanted to stop watching. The Dixie and pancakes story was no better.
I guess 'Uncle Porkchop' ended up in the Freezer!
God, Chrishell Stause is AMAZING!

I prefer to think that Trevor died of a heart attack and Janet snapped and became delusional and claimed she killed him.
I thought James and Kate were dating in real life . I mean that's the rumor I heard back then
