I wouldn't mind if they bring back Horton's that we know and have been established but it has been proven now (twice) that bringing in a random Horton isn't the ticket. Jeremy, anyone?? There was potential for Nathan to be a great character but instead he wound up being a sap pining away for a woman.

@mrsm (I almost typed Mrs H, LOL) - I agree. No more random Hortons.
Nathan was pretty much hatched out of thin air. I don't remember Melissa having a son named Nathan. And we never even found out who his father was. As Slyn said, he never got his own story outside of Melanie or Stephanie. Potential for a lot of history that never materialized.
As for Jeremy, a legacy Horton, son of Mike, grandson of Bill, great grandson of Alice and Tom. And they bring him in as a sleazy con man? Why? Hortons aren't perfect, I know, but Jeremy didn't fit the profile at all.

And Jeremy was CUTE, too. I would have been alot happier to have him been written well and had him and Nick become friends rather than adversaries. Maybe they both could have stayed, instead of bringing Nathan on board.

I will just say this...I was spitting mad when they made Lucas a Horton. I don;t like the Hortons AT ALL.. I cannot think of one that held my interest. All dull as the day is long. Can they please bring us some more Kiriakis men?

I really don't care who is a Horton and who isn't.....actually, I'm not even sure who is and who isn't a Horton anyway......I just get tired of stupid, wasteful characters like Nathan and Jeremy....and there's been plenty of others that didn't happen to be Hortons.....I'm just not sure why it is important for them to be Hortons.....put up a monument and call it good.....

Hortons aren't perfect, I know, but Jeremy didn't fit the profile at all. I think that I can clarify things about Nathan. When Tom Horton died in the early 90s, I believe that Melissa/Lisa Trusel was indeed pregnant at the time, probably with Nathan. Nathan is definitely a legacy character because his biological grandmother (Linda Philips Anderson) and mother (Melissa Anderson/Horton) have been characters since the early 70s. I hope that Nathan/Mark will eventually return because I truly believe that any pairing with Dario/Melanie will be an automatic failure. I don't think that either the Philip/Melanie or the Nathan/Melanie fans will accept it. I still believe that Melanie and Nathan deserve a real chance to shine since they were denied that opportunity because of a silly plot point. |

If written properly,Nathan could have been a great character.As great grandson to Tom Horton,he had a legacy to live up to right there,and they could have done something with that.Instead he was used as the instigator of trouble between Mel/Steph,Philip/Mel.While I'm not fond of either actor or character,the writing was a huge disservice to Mark.I can't imagine any actor being happy with the position he was put into.Hopefully if we get Nathan back (and god I hope we don't!),the writers will this time give him a history,maybe tone down the self righteous attitude,and make him a TRUE Horton (if we have to have more Hortons).
