Fans noticed something different during the show’s closing credits—Owens is now listed as a contract player. This shift hints at more drama, bigger plots, and longer screen time for his mysterious character.
From Mysterious Stranger to Major Player
Nathan Owens first appeared as a man claiming to be Damian Kane, the long-lost son of Amy Lewis. His mission seemed simple—reconnect with family. But things quickly turned complicated. It didn’t take long for viewers to learn the truth. He wasn’t Damian at all. He was actually Holden Novak, a man playing a dangerous game.
Amy Lewis, battling leukemia, had reached out to reconnect her sons—Holden and Nate Hastings. But Holden’s motives weren’t clear. He entered the scene with secrets and suspicion trailing behind. While Amy had good intentions, Holden wasn’t upfront about his true identity—or why he had shown up in Genoa City.
