Sam Trenton was the son of Chris Trenton who had a brief relationship with Liz McDonald in April 2016. Sam attended music lessons at the Jamila House community centre where Liz's granddaughter was also a pupil, screeching out tunes on her violin. While Sam assembled his clarinet, Chris caught Liz's eye. Afterwards, as Liz chatted to Amy outside the Rovers, Chris and Sam stopped in their nice car, asking when the next music club was being held. Amy also made it clear that she was attracted to Sam when she smiled and waved at him.
The four met again at the next session where the two adults showed their charges inside but, at Chris's suggestion, retreated to Roy's Rolls for a coffee rather than endure the cacophony of sound. A smiling Sam and Amy watched from the window of the community centre with interest as two of the two adults in their lives interacted. Sam also went to Weatherfield High and Chris picked up both his son and Amy when they returned there one afternoon, Liz giving the youngsters money to go to the cafe so she and Chris could talk.
Any friendship between Liz and Chris petered out when she went on an extended visit to Andy McDonald in Spain soon afterwards, but Amy and Sam continued to see each other. When Steve McDonald came back from seeing Andy at the end of the month, he heard that his daughter and Sam were boyfriend and girlfriend. Some seven weeks later, Amy was depressed when Sam dumped her in front of the school's lunch queue. She was uncertain as to the cause but thought it might be because he thought she was a cow like her mum, Tracy.
