Creation and casting

edit

Soap Opera Digest first announced the casting and character in December 2016 with Lucas Adams slated to debut in early 2017.[1] Serial Scoop later reported the character of Tripp would be the presumed Steve and Ava's presumed dead son.[2] Adams made his debut on March 23, 2017.[3]

Adams booked the role after he nailed a screen test which consisted of a monologue. "It was a scene where I had to show a lot of different ranges of emotion." And Adams was confident in his work and was immediately hired. He was then introduced to his onscreen parents, Stephen Nichols and Mary Beth Evans. In addition to showing Adams around the set, Nichols convinced the young actor to film some of their first scenes during a rehearsal. "We ended up having a few really good scenes with the first take to go."[4]

Characterization

edit

Personality

edit

Adams said to Soap Opera Digest: "He's a dark and brooding character, but still a good kid. He's just had a lot of bad luck."[4] The actor later said described Tripp as having a "good heart" but he has "bad tendencies." Tripp "doesn't make the right decision all the time" even though "he feels like he does."[5]

Lineage and backstory

edit

Tripp is the son previously unknown son of Steve Johnson, and his former lover, mob princess Ava Vitali. The character was first discussed onscreen in 2016. Steve had just left her at the altar and she was suffering from a nervous breakdown when she learned of the pregnancy. Martino takes advantage of his daughter's fragile mental state and convinces Ava that she had only fantasized about giving birth. Martino then sold the child on black market.[6] A month later, Steve and Ava are told their son died of pneumonia shortly after he arrived at an orphanage.[7]

Introduction (2017)

edit

In 2017, Steve is contacted by the man from the orphanage who reveals that the child is actually alive after all and that he'd come looking for his birth parents.[8]
