Trevor Jordache was a character in the defunct television soap opera Brookside.

The character was first introduced in 1993. He was immediately set up as the series' villain; he was, among other things, a rapist, a physically abusive husband and father, and a paedophile. Trevor's estranged wife Mandy had fled to Brookside Close to hide in a safe house with her two daughters, Beth and Rachel, but Trevor eventually showed up at the front door demanding a reconcillation. He persuaded Mandy to allow him to sleep in the house after he claimed to have been unfairly evicted from the Bed and Breakfast he was staying at.

Beth was not as easily persuaded; she never forgot or forgave that he had raped her when she was 14, or that he had frequently beaten her mother, and feared for their safety.

Beth's worst fears were realised when Trevor raped Rachel. Afterward, they decided to kill him. After they unsuccessfully tried to poison him with weed killer, they made him a drink laced with a bottle of aspirin. He walked in on them crushing the pills, however, and attacked Beth. Mandy seized a kitchen knife and stabbed him to death.

After hiding Trevor's body downstairs for several days, they buried him in the back-garden and laid a patio to conceal him. He remained buried under the patio for two years until he was unearthed by Brookside residents Eddie Banks and Jimmy Corkhill.
