I have watched the series a few times and I am always expecting Juliet’s BS but I am watching again and I have to say Rayna was no picnic. A little condescending, entitled and unreasonable . I always remembered her being more graceful or even more passive, but now I’m kinda changing my opinion at least for the first season. Don’t get me wrong some of the BS that Juliet pulled would piss the nicest, classiest person off. But like right from the beginning, Rayna kind of acted like working with Juliet was beneath her. I’m only at like episode seven or something but this is where I come to rant about my bing TV watching. So if anyone else has thoughts, I would love to hear them.

SPOILER Juliette is reeling because Avery is divorcing her and she’s in the hotel lobby and a fan runs up and asks to take a picture while already snapping a pic of her and Juliette subsequently attacks her. In my opinion the tan deserved it because I feel like fans forget celebrities are people too. She shouldn’t have invaded her personal space 🤷🏽‍♀️

Love that part of her character.

I just realized that Beverly isn't in a single flashback in Season 6, Episode 14 which makes no sense. It feels like a huge oversight to me, unless the showrunners are trying to say she's that much younger than him but that doesn't make sense. My understanding was always that Beverly and Rayna were the same age, and Rayna left her dad's when she was 16 and no one ever mentioned a significant age difference so I thought he was 18 or 20. Unless he was 22-24 (or older) when he started dating Rayna Beverly would have at least been a baby in the super young Deacon flashbacks and a little girl in the teen Deacon flashbacks.

Does anyone else hate how Cash got away with what she did? I don’t understand how the writers dropped the ball on that? It probably would have driven up ratings, by a lot. Oooh Rayna threatens her, big whoop! All that did was make things worse! They should have had her killed. 😂 That could have been a whole other season story line!

Buckie and Glen are the dads I wish I had growing up!!

I’m sorry, but I literally had to make an account for this!

I cannot for the life of me, stand her facial expressions or her mannerisms, narcissistic behavior and her victim mentality!

Everything has to be about her and if it isn’t, she sure makes it about her!

Yea I know this show started airing over 10 years ago… I started watching because I’m a fan of Connie Britton and Hayden Panettiere reminds me of my Disney years. I’m not the biggest fans of either of their characters but I understand them and what the show was going for. But like… what is with these men!?

I’m only on season 1 but I’m almost done and I just need to know if any of them get better from here.

I started out feeling sorry for Teddy but now I just don’t like him at all. He put himself in the middle of Rayna’s family drama by running for office for her dad despite have all those skeletons in their closet.

Lamar… I’m sure I don’t need to explain.

Avery is selfish SOB but there’s something to be said when I have more hope for him than anybody else.

Gunnar turned into Avery overnight and I need this “nice guy” to go get some therapy ASAP! Because he just balls it all up.

Speaking of therapy, I see that most people like Deacon and he is probably the person I can not stand the absolute most. He is entirely too old to be fooling around with someone the same age as his niece, he seems to want to get away from drama but invites onto himself by bringing his girlfriend on the road, then cheats on her.. I’m just so sick of his puppy dog somber “I’m just recovering addict who feels remorseful for my sins” look. You need to grow up!

Anyway… rant over. Please tell me the characters progress and develop into better people.

So Im rewatching the show for the third time now and it has been a while since I last did.

Boy I didnt remember all the things that happened in the first 10 or so chapters. By that point on the show: Juliette met a guy and almost married him, Deacon went on tour, Rayna and Juliette are about to start their tour, Scarlett broke up with Avery and got into several fights with Gunnar, Avery left his band and of course Deacon and Rayna had a fight about their feelings. All of this while Teddy is dealing with is Mayor campaign.

What a rollercoaster, that is why I love the show so much I guess lol.

I just wanted to ask if any of you has been to the Bluebird before. I am not from the US but I know it's hard to enter.

If you did go, how was the music and the experience overall?

Re-watching...

Early season trope: Someone doesn't want to go to a party and they tell somebody, and the 2nd person says, "You have to go. [reasons]" This happened over and over. This is now how I think of Nashville, the city. Everyone goes to parties they don't want to do, because they *have* to.

Along similar lines, don't go to Deacon if you want support about a concern. Share your concern and he will immediately pooh pooh it, in a genial and caring-sounding way.

I guess both of these work to advance the story, as many dysfunctional habits do (like keeping secrets, a more obvious Nashville trope).

Does anybody know why the girls don’t go tour with the rest of crew? I get why HP doesn’t but I love the way Lennon sings.

​

All I see when doing a rewatch of Season 5 Scarlett. And so are the days of our lives...

About 12 minutes in, Rayna is listening to songs and watching music videos on her laptop. A song pops up with a girl singer with black hair, bangs, pink sunglasses and the chorus lyrics: "I'll be your ticket out of town, babe"

Anyone know who sings this song?

Hey guys,

Possible long shot but does anyone have a set list from the UK shows this week?

I saw them in Birmingham last night and they were amazing 😁

So from what I read about the haters of Rayna the first season for Juilette apparently aren't up to date that's its a show with writing. Also the fact that Miranda Lambert got voted to Reba McEntire and Reba was shown being not very happy about it. It's kinda what happens. I love Rayna but most of I love Connie Britton.

Going to the reunion tour concert tomorrow night in Glasgow. Does anyone have the setlist they’ve been playing? Thanks in advance!

maddie and tae songs

So weird to see Mark Collie as the Frankie Gray. I used to play his stuff when I was in country radio...specifically "Only the Man in the Moon is Cryin."

Full disclosure: I'm a touring musician and when I'm home for a couple of weeks at a time, I need to find shows to binge.

I started Nashville a couple of weeks ago and am on season 3 now. Here's my question:

WHY DID IT HAVE TO BECOME ABOUT WHO'S BANGING WHO? EVERYBODY IS JUST FUCKING EVERYBODY ELSE'S PARTNERS....except Will.

This might be slightly off-topic from the show itself (I love the show!), but does anyone know what the leather laptop folio is that Deacon uses for his computer in the last couple of seasons? I am looking for something exactly like that for my MacBook Air. Thanks!

What's your thoughts on Rayna and Deacon. Personally I loved them!

Okay I just finished the show and the top five worst characters in my opinion are...

1. SCARLETT( i literally had to skip over all over her story lines in season 6)
2. Maddie... entitled brat and mean to daphne for the longest time
3. Avery- constantly complaining throughout the whole show
4. Layla- Just no.
5. Zoey- Again just no.

I’m still on season 1 but omg I can’t stand these two together. Who sits there and is still hung up on some woman who’s super lame for over ten years? It’s kind of pathetic. And Rayna is messed up for stringing him along It would’ve been more interesting if Deacon and Juliette developed a relationship.

This is such a dumb plot point, but it drives me a little nuts.

After Rayna and Deacon are in the car crash at the end of S1, the first time they see each other again in S2 is at the site of the crash, where fans have left flowers, candles, etc.

She hands the ring back to him telling them they need a fresh start apart from each other. After she walks away, we see him toss the ring away toward the woods.

The next time we see it is in S3, when he asks Rayna to marry him instead of Luke.

So did he go back to hunt for it right away? Some time later? How did he even find it?

Tell me please, am I just a sap? No other tv show has brought me to tears as many times as Nashville did.

He is a damned chameleon.

At the beginning we see him playing with that silly fringe wearing trio singing two-step style songs.

The darker harder edge with his brother's stuff.

The Exes's songs. Hell playing with Avery's old band.

Then the stuff he does with Scarlett which morphs more into country/alternative (?)

All these different styles. And then he writes too.

Im on season 5 (I know what happens) And I know this may be an unpopular opinion but I don’t think Connie Britton is a good actress 😬😬. At least not as Rayna —I find myself cringing A LOT every-time she talks / sings..more so than any other character

I mean really ... In the end I think that he was the worst treated fictional character in a series ever. He wins the award! I'm watching 'Succession' at the moment and the little bit of skullduggery he got sent away for, pales by comparison!

• He paid that other (historical) money in that vague deal back.
• He was doing it for his beloved family.
• He got lied to by his mistress who later became his wife.
• He didn't want to get into dirty deeds but his father-in-law blackmailed him to.
• Amazingly, his virtuous wife never knew of all his problems and quandaries.
• His wife was in love with another man throughout their marriage and he had to suck it up
• He was a loving and caring father - but when he ends up in jail - you rarely see any signs that anyone visits him or feels bad for him - just one scene, they do it - but they throw him back in the bad Teddy box a bit later when he resists being sidelined
• He steps down from father role later on, falls on his sword, - very noble, but we never see him again. Not once do we have a scene where his daughters visit the poor guy in jail - sing him a song, bake him some cookies. Instead,they continue to live in absolute luxury while he wastes a way in jail!

I'm not bitter - and I realise the format of the series can't cover everything - but he definitely ended up as 'the dispensible other guy in the room'! Anyway, I have Teddy out of jail now, married and maybe he and his wife are digital nomads. Or he has a ranch somewhere ....
