Storylines
Trevor is introduced as the abusive husband of Little Mo Slater (Kacey Ainsworth), when she agrees to return to him following a period of separation. Trevor promises to cease his violence towards her, but soon resumes his abuse, often beating and humiliating her. He is regularly apologetic after attacking her, but continues to isolate her from her family, especially her sisters Kat (Jessie Wallace) and Lynne (Elaine Lordan). When Trevor discovers Little Mo plans to attend her sister Lynne Hobbs's wedding, he rapes her as a punishment. When she arrives late for Christmas dinner, he pushes her face into her plate and forces her to eat the remains from the carpet. Little Mo's family constantly implore her to leave her husband, despising his treatment of her. Trevor frequently rows with her sister Kat Slater, and is attacked by her father Charlie (Derek Martin) when he learns that Trevor burned Little Mo's hand with an iron. When Little Mo finally leaves Trevor when she discovers he deleted a message from Zoe Slater (Michelle Ryan), he tries to win her back. She resists and he becomes violent, attempting to rape her again. Mo hits Trevor over the head with an iron in self-defence, knocking him unconscious. Mo believes she has killed him, but when she and her family return to dispose of Trevor's body, they find out he has gone. Trevor reports Little Mo to the police and has her charged with attempted murder.
Despite strong evidence of domestic violence, corroborated by Trevor's mistress Donna Andrews (Paula Jennings), with whom he has a son, Sean, the jury at her trial find Little Mo guilty and she is sentenced to eight years in prison. Following Little Mo's imprisonment, Donna ends up in hospital as a result of Trevor's abuse. Kat cares for Sean, but Trevor arrives at the Slater family home, determined to take his son. When Kat stands in his way, Trevor attacks her, knocking her to the ground. The police arrive and arrest him, but Trevor makes a deal with Kat, agreeing to retract his statement against Little Mo in return for Kat not pressing charges against him. Little Mo is subsequently released from prison. Little Mo begins dating Billy Mitchell (Perry Fenwick), but Trevor again returns in an attempt to win her back. While he is dating Sam Mitchell (Kim Medcalf), he harasses her, beginning a campaign of intimidation which culminates in him taking Little Mo and his son hostage in the Slater family home attempting to kill them all in a house fire, but Little Mo stands up to Trevor by saying she is not frightened of him. He threatens to start the fire but she lights the match saying he does not have the guts. He grabs Mo, causing the match to drop and a fire to start. Little Mo and Sean are rescued by her neighbour Tom Banks (Colm Ó Maonlaí); however, when going back for Trevor, both men are killed when the house explodes.
Little Mo begins to plan a funeral for Trevor, but is convinced by Donna that she should be mourning Tom instead. This leads to Mo's family including Billy being angered at Little Mo after all the treatment Trevor has given her. However, when she attempts to get rid of his ashes, she says to Kat that she does not want to scatter them, as its an act of remembrance and does not want to remember him, which makes Kat finally proud of her sister again. Later on she tells Billy in the cafe, that she seen a new chapter of her life and the doors to her previous one closing when the curtains closed on the coffin.
