Members Cheap21 Posted May 19, 2011 Members Share Posted May 19, 2011 Like he said, it wasnt about his dad bc he didnt care for him.Matthew has been a pretentious prick for the past year and kicked it up a notch after Eddie's death, taunting and picking fights with Nate. Matthew stood by adn was willing to let him go to prison for a crime he commited. Nate has EVERY reason to be at Matthew. His anger today was justified. He surpised me by cooling down and listening to Matthew and actually decided to give him the opprtunity to turn himself in, as opposed to ratting him out and trying to make it worse with the cops Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members IcyOne Posted May 19, 2011 Members Share Posted May 19, 2011 I love Nate. About time somebody knocked that bratty little Richie Rich caricature off his block. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Money Posted May 19, 2011 Members Share Posted May 19, 2011 Although Nate is a useless character I understand his anger. Mathew had absolutely NO problem letting him or his mother take the rap for something he did. Nate even went to jail for it. And Mathew was a total jack ass when when Dani dumped him. Still remember him calling Nate "cabana boy" last summer and humiliating him at the country club. Yeah, Mathew deserved that punch - sound effects and all. Too bad it was fatal. And since he doesn't know that Mathew wants to come clean, why wouldn't he think he did it because he still resents him and Dani. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted May 19, 2011 Members Share Posted May 19, 2011 +1. I think people are too blinded by hate for Nate to actually see why he would be angry at Matthew. Mattehw always seems to get a free pass for the way he treats him, yet its always Nate in the wrong. He antagonizes and bullies Nate and up until recently was still whining about losing Danielle. Matthew is a rich snob and an overall smug prick. But its a-okay bc its all directed at Nate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted May 19, 2011 Members Share Posted May 19, 2011 All makes sense on paper, I just cannot get with Matthew being thrown under the bus for Nate Ford. My issue is with the biased writing hence I will always side with Matthew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted May 19, 2011 Members Share Posted May 19, 2011 It says a lot about how worthless an actor Lenny Platt is that even after a year of endless efforts to trash Matthew for Nathuselah, he still seems unsympathetic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members SFK Posted May 19, 2011 Members Share Posted May 19, 2011 I mean, I get how characters come and go and all, but -Markko -Langston -Cole -Brody -Matthew have all been pushed out or aside for these boys to be propped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted May 19, 2011 Members Share Posted May 19, 2011 Except Matthew has been written as an angry prick before Nate even entered the scene, but Nate is an easy scapegoat to explain it all away. Matthew's attitude is consistent with how the character has been potrayed for the better part of the last 2 years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ReddFoxx Posted May 19, 2011 Members Share Posted May 19, 2011 I just really don't care about Nate being jailed for the shooting, the character is just useless and whatever happened to him was no big deal to me. I tend to favor legacy characters over poorly written new characters. Wes is clearly helping Marty now. Judging from that flashback that Wes had, which would have been from Jessica's memories, I can't help but wonder if they are hinting that Jessica is okay with helping Marty just to get back at Natalie. John telling Clint what to do warranted Clint blaming him for the whole mess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted May 19, 2011 Members Share Posted May 19, 2011 you give the show too much credit. I dont think its intended to be that deep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted May 19, 2011 Members Share Posted May 19, 2011 Matthew was written as much more complex, and his behavior had much more sense behind it, until Nate showed up. Only when Nate showed up did he become this classist quasi-racist who was persecuting saintly Nate and his banshee of a girlfriend. And as always with OLTL and their pets, it did nothing but destroy even more characters and provide absolutely zero storyline. OLTL excels at making fans hate characters, but never at making any of them popular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
