Nathan Scott Vs Dan Scott AKA Some of the ways that Nathan is a better person than his father

One of the biggest things about Dan is that when he was about Nathan’s age, he got his high school girlfriend, Karen, pregnant. And it’s mentioned many times how Dan chose Basketball over being with Karen. He then abandoned his eldest son, went to college where he met Deb Lee. Within a month Deb became pregnant with Nathan. Dan Scott lived under the assumption that you can’t live your dreams and also be married with a child at the same time. He probably blamed all of his failures on Deb and Nathan and you can see how that bitterness festered. You can see it with Nathan. When Nathan got married, Dan told him that decision would spell the end of his Basketball future. When Haley got pregnant he acted like Duke was the end all be all and without it then he could say goodbye to his career in Basketball. You can see how Nathan found himself in a very similar situation to Dan. They were both about 18 and about to embark on college with a Basketball scholarship. Yet Nathan came that fork in the road and he took the mature/responsible/and loving road. He elevated his wife and child and in the end he achieved his dream of playing in the NBA but he didn’t choose to be an asshole in the process. 

Nathan is an incredible teammate/team player. That story that Dan tells is so indicative of his arrogance and selfishness. He claims he felt bad for his teammates when he threw the championship game but it’s so clear from the pride in which he tells this story that he felt he was in the right and felt no shame. Which there’s a certain bit of shame that goes into feeling bad for another person especially if you were the one to cause what is making that person feel bad. Nathan is upset about being benched but at the end of the day he does what is best for the team and actively tries to help them win from the bench. 

That first scene is really when he start to see what a truly horrible father Dan was. Yeah, we see the repercussion of his abandonment of Lucas. We see him say some truly horrifying things to Lucas but in this moment as Nathan tells this story... we find out that he physically abused Nathan. I mean that is a really disturbing story that Nathan tells and it makes you see Nathan in another light. Up until that point in S1, Nathan had been the bully of the show but in this moment we see how he became that person and it makes you love him even more when he makes the decision to be a better guy and not to become his father and continue the cycle of abuse. That second scene makes me so emotional because Nathan is in the exact position his father was in. His son Jamie is playing in Baseball little league and he is the coach. Nathan perceptively realizes that his son is nervous. He calls a timeout like his father had and then goes over to his son and give him advice in the most sweet and gentle way. And reassures him that no matter how well he does or doesn’t do, it won’t affect how much he loves Jamie and then encourages him/makes it clear that he has faith in his ability.

I feel like this one speaks entirely for itself but I will try to add on to it. In both these situations Dan and Nathan are having marital problems with Deb and Haley respectively and have moved out of the house. Dan makes it clear that he gonna play dirty and do whatever it takes to get Nathan away from Deb even if it means dragging her through the mud and making her out to be an unfit mother. But then you compare that to Nathan and how he will always love Haley and will always be her champion. He could never try to make her out to be an unfit mother and he would never try to turn Jamie against her. He loves Haley and he wants their son to love Haley.

And then as sort of a follow up to the last one... Dan and Deb briefly went to therapy at the behest of Deb and later in the show Nathan and Haley went to therapy. And in these two scenes you see the different ways that Dan and Nathan are approaching this. Dan is belligerent from the start. He clearly doesn’t want to be there, he interrupts Deb every time she’s speaking, he cannot and will not take constructive criticism, or take responsibility for any of his actions and the therapy session ends within 5 minutes at which point he walks out. I think he goes one more time and then completely refuses to ever go to therapy again. Nathan on the other hand wants to work on his marriage and so does Haley. They go to therapy for about a month, work through their issues, are respectful of each other, apologize, try to make things right and in the end they reconcile and come back as a couple stronger than ever. 

Nathan Scott is truly one of the most incredible TV characters i’ve seen and he definitely has the best character development. He could have continued on the path he was going but instead he chose to be a good guy. And he didn’t fall into the Dawson Leery syndrome which is when you talk about being a nice guy all the time but act like an ass. Nathan became a nice guy and you see it in his actions, not in his lip service. Nathan could admit when he was wrong, he was a faithful one woman man, he supported and loved his wife, he was a wise and loving and present father. He’s talented. He’s confident yet at the same time not arrogant.
