From the second Nathan came back from the dead on General Hospital, the character has been off. Despite his best efforts to be like the real Nathan, several clues have made it clear that he’s not the real deal.
Key Takeaways
- Nathan’s feelings for Maxie and Lulu.
- Actions that are not Nathan-like at all.
- Britt’s recent Faison children comment.
The Real Nathan Would Never Give Up on Maxie
After seven years apart and missing the birth of their son, it doesn’t add up that Nathan (Ryan Paevey) was crushing on Lulu (Alexa Havins) while Maxie (Kirsten Storms) was in a coma. Even when Maxie woke up and chose Spinelli (Bradford Anderson), Nathan didn’t fight for her at all, and it makes no sense.
The Nathan GH fans know would have done everything in his power to be with Maxie and their son. Yet that didn’t happen, and Nathan’s more focused on Lulu than ever.
Maxie moved on because seven years had passed for her, but for Nathan, no time had passed. However, after Nathan was awake for a hot minute and already found someone new, nope, it doesn’t add up.
These Actions Are Not Nathan
During his time back in Port Charles, he has made some mistakes that are very not Nathan-esque. For starters, Nathan broke the chain of evidence with a cigarette butt he claimed was from a crime scene.
Nathan was a detective for far too long to make a mistake like that. He also takes great pride in being a cop, so he was lying to Dante (Dominic Zamprogna) about the cigarette. All signs point to it not being part of a crime scene but something else Nathan was researching.
The fact that Nathan kept pushing back when James (Gary James Fuller) asked him to show off his baseball skills is another clue. Nathan was an excellent baseball player, and now he suddenly doesn’t want to help his son, not buying it.
Then, when Nathan gave in and tried to hit the baseball, he couldn’t do it. Either Nathan lost his skills during his seven-year break, or he never had them to begin with. We are going with the latter.
Nathan’s reaction to Cullum (Andrew Hawkes) when he arrived at Lulu’s to question Charlotte (Bluesy Burke) about Valentin (James Patrick Stuart) was suspect. It was as if Nathan knew Collum and didn’t like him. The look on Nathan’s face was so out of character for him, and adding more fuel to the fire, his actions are not Nathan-like.
Nathan Doesn’t Want Answers
The fact that Nathan lost seven years of his life doesn’t seem to matter to him. Instead of trying to figure out what happened to him, Nathan’s just out here living life and moving forward like nothing ever happened.
Nathan, not wanting even to figure out why he was robbed of years of his life, means he either already knows or he isn’t the real deal. Otherwise, why wouldn’t he be desperate to find out why he was ripped away from Maxie and their son?
There’s no way the real Nathan would accept the missing years and return to life as he knows it. However, that’s exactly what Nathan has done, and again, it’s weird and out of character.
The Brit Factor
Aside from the fact that Britt (Kelly Thiebaud) and Nathan returned from the dead within a few weeks of each other, Britt seemed afraid of Nathan when they were reunited. Even in their interactions, since things have been awkward between the siblings, who never discussed that they are both back from the dead.
The other day, Britt referenced that Faison (Anders Hove) has four children. Britt’s comment has raised red flags because GH fans know only three of them: Britt, Nathan, and Peter (Wes Ramsey). Even though there’s speculation that Cullum could be Faison’s son, it seems more likely that Nathan is a twin.
All we know is that things do not add up with Nathan, and we are ready for some answers. It has been over six months since he appeared in Port Charles, and we know nothing beyond the fact that he is not himself.
