The son of Rusty Sentell, Sr. (David Gale), and his wife, Mignon (Anita Keal), Travis is a wealthy businessman who brings his family's corporation, Tourneur Instruments, into the fictional community of Henderson in 1978.

He and Liza eventually fall in love and experience dangerous adventures in locales like New Orleans and Jamaica, and in Hong Kong on the ocean liner Queen Elizabeth 2. Travis and Liza marry, but his enemies are always around somewhere, and so their lives are constantly in danger. Travis also contends with his supposedly deceased father, who is furious that he is married to Liza and wants Travis to marry his goddaughter, Aja Doyan (Susan Monts). Travis and Liza also tryto adopt his cousin Lee's (Doug Stevenson) son, Roger Lee, but are thwarted by Lee's wife, waitress Cissie Mitchell Sentell (Patsy Pease). Eventually, they have a son, Tourneur Stuart Martin Sentell. Travis is eventually killed in a mysterious boat explosion in 1984.

Travis and Liza "dominated" the series during their run, and their action-adventure storylines attempted to emulate the success of the Luke and Laura story on General Hospital.^[3] The characters were considered a supercouple, and Arrants' popularity as Travis earned him a cover story in the August 11, 1979 issue of TV Guide.^[5]
