1989: Former mercenary Trevor Dillon came to Pine Valley on the behest of ex-partner Jeremy Hunter. Trevor got a job as a detective for the Pine Valley Police Department. He finally met Natalie Hunter, the woman Jeremy had obsessed about years ago. Suffice to say, Trevor was not very impressed. At least, that was the heir that he would let on. Secretly, he felt a great attraction to Natalie.

1990: As much as Trevor wanted to avoid it, he found himself orbiting around Natalie. He futilely tried to hide his true feelings for her. The couple was shipwrecked when Trevor tried to drive Natalie’s yacht. Trevor gave in to his feelings, and he was surprised when Natalie reciprocated. Trevor almost did not want to be rescued.
But, happiness proved to be fleeting when the couple came back to Pine Valley. Natalie entered into a marriage of convenience with Adam Chandler. Trevor despised Adam. He knew Adam was just looking to profit from Natalie’s newfound wealth.
On Thanksgiving Day, Trevor welcomed his niece Hayley Vaughan. Hayley had ran away from home after the death of her father. Hayley’s mother, Trevor’s sister Arlene Vaughan, had fallen off the wagon. Trevor knew he could provide the stable home that Hayley needed.
Trevor’s first big case was the kidnapping of Dixie Cooney by Billy Clyde Tuggle. With new partner lieutenant Derek Frye, they tracked Billy Clyde to his hiding spot in the woods. After an intense standoff, Dixie was rescued. But Billy Clyde’s terror continued when Trevor’s new friend Tad Martin fell victim to a bridge bomb he had planted.

1991: Arlene came to claim her daughter. But Trevor wanted to protect Hayley. He thought he failed when Hayley was arrested for driving drunk and almost killing Brooke English and her unborn child. Really, Arlene was the woman behind the wheel. Arlene had even more secrets to reveal. Years ago, she had had an affair with Adam Chandler resulting in her pregnancy. Adam was Hayley’s real father. Hayley made the decision to move into Chandler mansion.
Trevor left the Pine Valley Police Department to open his own Private Investigations Agency. Luckily, he was able to use Derek as his contact within the department.
Natalie left Adam and made her way back to Trevor. They did not waste any time in getting engaged. Trevor opened his home to Natalie’s recently divorced sister, Janet Green. Trevor put up with Janet for Natalie’s sake. The mentally unstable Janet became infatuated with her sister’s fiancée. Unbeknownst to Trevor, Janet coached herself to successfully impersonate Natalie. She kidnapped her, threw her in a well, and seemingly took over her life.

Dimitri’s first wife, Angelique Marick, was revealed to be alive and living in Wildwind. She ran out of the castle and back in Trevor’s arms. But their relationship was not fully healed. Natalie told Trevor she could never be with him if they were forced to raise his and Janet’s baby.
Trevor had become preoccupied with Hayley and her growing addiction to alcohol. She had recently eloped with Will Cortlandt, who fueled her addiction. Trevor and Will got into very many loud and public arguments over Hayley’s wellbeing. After threatening him publicly, Will was found dead in his apartment. Trevor was among the many suspects investigated for the murder. The true culprit turned out to be none other than Janet who believed Will had taken Trevor’s attention away from her and their baby.
Janet went on the run with Natalie. She had intended to finally rid herself of her sister. But before she could kill Natalie, Janet went into labor. Amanda Dillon was born and rushed to the hospital. There, Janet was taken back into custody. Trevor promised Janet that she would never have anything to do with their daughter’s life.
The ordeal brought Trevor and Natalie back to together. Natalie could finally accept Trevor’s daughter. They had an impromptu wedding at the Wallingford Estate. Trevor also formally adopted Natalie’s son, Timmy Hunter, whom he had grown very fond of.
Assistant District Attorney Galen Henderson turned to Trevor when she thought her life was in danger. Her abusive ex-husband, Carter Jones had just been released from prison and wanted her back. Trevor protected Galen as Carter stalked her. Believing Trevor was keeping him from his wife, Carter set Trevor’s house on fire as a warning. Only, Natalie was inside and trapped by the flames. Trevor rushed in to save her. At the hospital, Natalie recovered but could no longer see.
Trevor learned Natalie’s new hospital orderly friend Kyle was none other than Carter. He tracked Carter down to his houseboat where they got into an altercation. Carter jumped overboard and was able to escape Trevor’s pursuit. When Carter turned up in Corinth, Trevor sent Jeremy to investigate for him there while he helped Natalie recover.

At home, Trevor appreciated Laurel’s help in raising his children. He was beginning to date again when he met Jane Cox. Jane instantly fell in love with his children. Laurel was weary of Jane, but Trevor thought that he had found a perfect match. He asked Jane to marry him.
Unbeknownst to Trevor, Jane was none other than Janet in disguise. On the wedding day, Timmy’s dog Harold attacked Janet. It bought Jackson enough time to come with Laurel’s evidence of Jane’s true identity. Trevor lashed out at Janet and promised her that as long as he was alive, she would have nothing to do with Amanda.

Only, Amanda was at the front of the chapel with Laurel. Janet ran out in hopes of disarming the device. Before she could, a bolt of lighting struck her down dead. Laurel and Trevor married thinking Janet’s reign of terror was behind them.
Laurel confided in Trevor the fact that her brother, Michael Delaney, was a homosexual. Trevor overreacted to the news. Michael had taken Jamal and Timmy on a camping trip. Trevor went into the woods to retrieve his son. He told Laurel Timmy was to never be left alone with Michael.
One day at the hospital, Trevor came face to face with Janet, back from the dead. He took Janet captive in an empty storage locker. Trevor berated Janet with all the pain that he had caused his family. In a rage, Trevor was ready to kill her once and for all.
