Just like other beloved soap operas before them, All My Children and One Life to Live, who after being cancelled by ABC found a second home only to have them cancelled again, Nashville finds itself in a similar predicament.

News on Friday has that the upcoming sixth season of Nashville on CMT will be its last. Season 6 will kick-off in January with the 16 episode season coming to its series finale in the summer of 2018.

In a statement from executive producer, Marshall Herskovitz it read: “All of us on Nashville are so incredibly grateful to the show’s fans, who convinced CMT to give us a chance to keep telling the story of these remarkable characters. And we want to return the favor with a final season that celebrates all the joys and passions, twists and turns — and amazing music! — that made Nashville such an exciting journey for the last six years.”

Lionsgate Television Group Chairman Kevin Beggs added: “After more than 120 episodes of unforgettable television, we believe that creatively it is time for the series to come to its triumphant close at the end of the upcoming season. We’re very proud of our incredibly talented cast and crew, the creative brilliance of our showrunners, and the loyal support of our great partners at CMT, Hulu and ABC Studios. Most importantly, we owe a special debt of thanks to the ‘Nashville’ fans who propelled the series to an incredible run. We owe it to them to make the sixth season the most exciting and memorable of all.”

Jonathan Jackson (Avery Barclay, and ex-Lucky Spencer, GH) tweeted on the news of the cancellation  “Season 6 will be the final for @NashvilleCMT. I want to thank the fans for their incredible support. We’re going to finish Season 6 strong! I look forward to seeing you all at a concert in the coming year.”

Soap fans are already speculating if Jackson would reprise his role of Lucky on GH if the timing is right for him following the conclusion of Nashville.  

Nashville also stars: Hayden Panettiere as Juliette Barnes, Clare Bowen as Scarlett O’Connor, Chris Carmack as Will Lexington, Charles Esten as Deacon Claybourne, Kaitlin Doubleday as Jessie Caine, Sam Palladio as Gunnar Scott, Maisy Stella as Daphne Conrad and Lennon Stella as Maddie Conrad.

So. sad to hear that Nashville is cancelled yet again? Do you think Jonathan Jackson might return to GH? Comment below.

YES!!!! Time to welcome back JJ’s “Lucky” to Port Charles…and not a moment too soon!!!!!

It would be so amazing to have JJ back on GH, love him no matter what he does, sing, act, write, he is amazing.so proud of him,

Nashville without Rayna lasted about as long as Dallas without JR.

I’m predicting Lucky Spencer will find his way back to Port Charles in 2018. Most likely during a sweeps month. February would be too soon, so May would be my best guess.

It wasn’t the same on CMT. They tried; I loved the characters and will miss them…

I know, Rebecca. It did make the shock of losing Rayna easier, but the heart of the show seems at half-power. That said, I’m looking forward to seeing handsome Sam Palladio and lovely Clare Bowen sail around true love for one more season. And maybe somebody decent for poor Will.

REALLY SORRY TO SEE THIS HAPPEN……I THOUGHT THE SHOW WAS BETTER THAN EVER SINCE THE CHARACTER OF RAYNA LEFT ……GREAT CAST….WISH THEM ALL LUCK!!!!!!

She is playing in a new series

So sad to see this fine show end. Wonderful talented people and great stories.

very moving

When Britton left the show she killed Nashville off So sad all these actors will lose their show! I hope Jackson will return to GH!

Hayden Panettiere Reveals Filming ‘Nashville’ was ‘Traumatizing’; Writers Used Her Personal Struggles with Addiction, Postpartum as Storylines

Nashville and former Guiding Light star, Hayden Panettiere (ex-Lizzie, GL) opened up about her final seasons on the ABC country music primetime drama, where the show touched too close to home for the actress who played lead character, Juliette Barnes.

In an interview with The Messenger, Hayden shared that during the run of the show from 2012-2018, she feels that the writers, more often that not, pulled from her real life while crafting Juliette’s storylines.

Hayden said on the years she spent filming the series that it was “also very traumatizing because I felt like I was acting out my own life.”

Previously, the actress had shared that her dependency on alcohol and opioids as a teenager led to her dependency in her adult life. In addition, Nashville told the story of Juliette’s postpartum depression, which also mirrored Panettiere’s experience who went through the same thing when her own daughter was born.

Explaining what went down behind the scenes, Hayden recalled: “Straight from the beginning, it was like, I’m dating a football player, (and then) Juliette dates a football player. And then they turned her into an alcoholic. Then they turned to her leaving her daughter and going to this crazy (place) in Europe, and it was very obvious.”

The actress added, ‘They weren’t doing their homework. They weren’t creating new storylines. They were just looking at my life and going, ‘Oh, let’s just take what she’s going through and put our little spin on it.’ And then, ta-da! It’s done and done.”

Hayden added that she didn’t have time to care of herself and the pain she was going through physically and emotionally, so she tried to watch mindless TV and shows to help her calm down. Panettiere also felt that when she knew she had to go back to the set of Nashville, she did, “anything to keep my mind off of that because I knew that next day I was going to be back at it again. I was like, tear central. I don’t even think on a soap opera that I cried as much (as I did) on Nashville.”

Hayden is set to make three upcoming appearances of her A Conversation With Hayden Panettiere live series in New York on February 23 and Washington D.C. on February 24.

So, do you think the Nashville writers literally stole creative ideas for the character of Juliette Barnes based on Hayden’s personal struggles? It certainly on paper seems so. Share your thoughts via the comment section below.
