Trivia[]
- In the script for TGWDLM Dan has the surname 'Greene', which lead many to believe that he was somehow related to fellow Hatchetfield resident Ethan Green. However, Nick Lang explained that if something's in the script, but doesn't make it to the show then it isn't considered canon. In The Hatchetfield Ape-Man it is revealed that his canonical surname is now 'Reynolds'.[1]
- Both Dan and Donna featured in the teaser trailer for Black Friday released during the 10niversary kickstarter campaign as well as the initial teaser trailer for Workin' Boys.
