User blog comment:Fan7/Duncan, Owen, and Courtney - The Most Popular Characters?/@comment-1756703-20100719180744

Nah, Trent is still popular. He's less liked by the more casual fans now following his breakdown on TDA, but there are still many people who wish to see him on the show again. And in terms of his visibility on the two aforementioned sites, it's safe to say that he's one of the more popular characters (although it's hard to say if it's retroactive).
