Nathan West is a fictional character from General Hospital, an American soap opera on the ABC network, portrayed by Ryan Paevey. Created by head writer Ron Carlivati, Nathan was introduced in late 2013 by Frank Valentini as a love interest for Maxie Jones (Kirsten Storms). Detective Nathan comes to town to avenge his "sister" Nina (Michelle Stafford) and investigate her husband Silas Clay's (Michael Easton) involvement in her attempted murder. Instead, Nathan discovers that his "mom" Madeline Reeves (Donna Mills) is responsible for Nina's 20 year long coma. Later, Nathan is revealed to be the biological son of Madeline's estranged sister, Liesl Obrecht (Kathleen Gati) and brother to the scheming Britt Westbourne (Kelly Thiebaud).

In 2014, Nathan clashes with Maxie's boyfriend Levi Dunkleman (Zachary Garred) as he isolates Maxie from her family. Fortunately, the triangle culminates when Nathan rescues Maxie from his schemes and they enter into a romance. In 2015, Maxie and Nathan briefly split when she tries to reunite with her ex-boyfriend Damian Spinelli (Bradford Anderson). In 2016, the duo become engaged as his ex-wife Claudette (Bree Williamson) arrives to cause trouble.
Ryan Paevey's casting was very well received. The character of Nathan becomes quite popular rather quickly among viewers and critics becoming known as the show's resident heroic "good guy" as he tries to support his mess of a family. At the same time, Nathan's pairing with Maxie becomes a fan favorite pairing and their "slow burn" romance was praised by critics.
