Jonathan is the older child in a complicated family. The father, Lonnie, is mostly absent; the mother, Joyce, leans heavily on him; the brother, Will, takes up almost all his life. He builds a relationship with Nancy across the seasons, and toward the end of the show goes through serious challenges around school, work, and the future. [1]
