Daniel St. John

An original character first introduced in the Falling Into College spinoff, "A Path of Roses and Thorns," Daniel St. John is Amy Barksdale's associate (and sometime lover) at Tennyson University. Their romantic relationship ended some time after Amy met Maurice 'Reese' Wyatt.

Daniel is a Professor of Mechanical Engineering in the Automotive Technologies Department at Tennyson, and he and Paula Trainor have maintained a playfully adversarial relationship based on the fact that Paula doesn't believe that Daniel can make Amy Barksdale happy - a charge that Daniel himself has wondered about on several occasions.

• Daniel physically resembles the actor Josh Holloway, who plays 'Sawyer' on the television series 'Lost'.
