Nate Salinger is a fictional character from the ABC original soap opera One Life to Live. The role was portrayed by Lenny Platt from April 12, 2010, to January 10, 2012. He was put on contract in late October 2010, and his first contract episodes aired the week of November 29. Platt remained on the show through its final week on air, last airing January 10, 2012. Nate was born sometime in 1993.
Nate was first seen at Llanview High School, where he met Danielle Rayburn, Matthew Buchanan and Destiny Evans while auditioning for the school musical "Starr X'd Lovers". Where Nate eventually beat Matthew for the role of Cole Thornhart. And with Danielle winning the role of her sister Starr Manning, it began to bring them closer together, even though she was still with Matthew. At first Nate didn't have feelings for Danielle. Until they ended up kissing while rehearsing their lines for their musical. After Danielle's breakdown when her father Todd Manning was in the hospital, she threw her phone and it led Nate to have an excuse to talk her by giving it back to her. As Nate returned Dani's phone, she unexpectedly kissed him again. As the Llanview prom approached, Nate hoped to ask Dani. Though Matthew's jealousy made him ask Dani as quick as possible, leaving Nate without a chance with Dani for now. In order to get over Dani, Nate decided to ask head cheerleader; Whitney Bennett, to the prom. As she gladly accepted, Nate knew he still couldn't get his mind off of Danielle.
After the prom, Nate realizes how strong his feelings for Danielle had become. Though, Matthew's jealousy began to evolve as he threatened Nate to leave them both alone. Nate ignored Matthew's request and continued seeing Dani, as they began sneaking off together as they shared their romantic feelings for each other. Destiny then ends up catching Dani and Nate in the act, and she gives both Dani and Nate a harsh ultimatum. Nate later ends up learning that Matthew told Dani he loved her. After feeling too guilty, Danielle ended up breaking up with Matthew for her feelings for Nate were too strong at this point. This let both Nate and Danielle finally express their relationship in public by becoming an official couple. Though Matthew still bullies Nate around whenever they confront each other.
