Trent Lane: Difference between revisions

Despite knowing that he was flaky, Daria had a crush on Trent for a few years in high school (first three seasons of the show). In their first encounters, she could barely ''talk'' when around him and spent half of "[[The Road Worrier]]" deliberately holding back on her sarcastic remarks for fear of offending Trent. (It turned out Trent found them amusing) The idea of embarrassing herself in front of Trent was a great fear of hers, and Jane would several times deliberately leave them together.

Trent appeared oblivious to her crush for most of its duration, but according to [[Anne Bernstein]], Trent had noticed the crush around the time of "[[That Was Then, This is Dumb]]" "but he would never lead her on too much". [http://www.the-wildone.com/dvdaria/anneinterviewsfull.html]. In "[[Pierce Me]]" and "[[Through a Lens, Darkly]]", he made complimentary comments about Daria's appearance for her benefit, and he would also make complimentary comments about her as a person, telling someone in front of her that she was "the coolest high schooler I know". In "[[It Happened One Nut]]", he also deliberately avoided a nut stand because Daria was working there and would clearly be embarrassed if he saw her.
