Nathan Scott (James Lafferty) was hardly in One Tree Hill Season 9 because actor James Lafferty signed on for only half the season due to other career plans, leading writers to create a major kidnapping storyline where he's missing for much of the season, focusing on his rescue and the impact on his family before his eventual return and exit.

Almost 50% of the season, Nathan was missing and kidnapped, then Dan again returning to Tree Hill, and becoming Liam Nielsen by rescuing Nate. That whole plot in general felt weak storyline cause they could've done that in the earlier seasons, instead of at the last seasons.
