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.
Nate was first seen at Llanview High School, where he meets Danielle Rayburn, Matthew Buchanan and Destiny Evans while auditioning for the school musical "Starr X'd Lovers". Nate eventually beats Matthew for the role of Cole Thornhart and Danielle wins the role of Starr Manning. Nate and Dani become close even though she is still dating Matthew. They kiss while rehearsing lines for their musical. When the Llanview High School prom approaches, Nate hopes to ask Dani, although Matthew's jealousy leads him to ask Dani as quickly as possible, leaving Nate out of luck. Nate asks Whitney Bennett to go to the prom., and although she gladly accepts, Nate is unable to get his mind off of Danielle.
After the prom, Nate realizes how strong his feelings for Danielle have become. Nate and Dani begin to sneak off together when they share their romantic feelings for each other. Dani breaks up with Matthew, and she and Nate become an official couple.
While swimming at the Llantano River, Nate and Dani spot a shiny object beneath some leaves. The object it turns out to be a briefcase filled with $50,000. Nate decided to keep the money, and gives his mother, Inez Salinger, enough so she can pay their bills which were due weeks ago. Nate tells Dani what he did, but Matthew overhears them talking. Matthew remembers that a man named Bull was searching for Starr and the $50,000. Matthew tells Bull that Nate stole his money. Bull kidnaps Nate and holds him hostage. Dani gets Todd to help for the ransom. It is then revealed that this really is about James Ford: James had hidden the money at the quarry where Dani and Nate found it. It ends when Bull is shot and killed by Todd. When James is accidentally shot by Starr, Todd and Nate quickly rush him to the hospital. Once James recovers, Nate visits him and apologizes for stealing the money. James accepts his apology.
Inez informs both Nate and James that she is not only Nate's mother, but the mother of James Ford and Robert Ford as well. Robert feels that Inez abandoned him and James with their deranged father, Eddie Ford. Inez also reveals that she was pregnant with Nate when she was still with Eddie, which means that Eddie is also Nate's father, thus making James and Robert his brothers. Nate tries to connect with his brothers, but Robert is adamantly against it.
When Eddie Ford is later found murdered, Nate becomes the immediate suspect. Nate discovers that Matthew actually killed Eddie, and when he confronts him, he punches Matthew and puts him in the hospital. Nate tells this to Deanna Forbes, an ex-girlfriend of James who had moved in with Nate and his mother, and is overheard by Rick Powers, a pornography producer. Rick blackmails Nate and Deanna into starring in one of his pornographic movies. After they film the movie, Rick promises to keep quiet about Nate's secret.
In July 2011, instead of showing Vickerman at the Palace Hotel premiere, Rick substitutes the pornographic film that Deanna and Nate did together. Everyone in the audience is shocked, and Dani slaps Nate across the face and storms out with her family. Nate shows up at her home, eager to explain, but Dani throws him out of the house. Dani later tells her mother that she and Nate have broken up. In October, Nate surprises Dani with a birthday present. Dani forgives him and agrees to go on a date. In December, Dani and Nate exchange Christmas presents, and they officially get back together.
