At the ABC Upfronts presentation today in New York, the network will announce and reveal their fall line-up to advertisers. For nighttime soap fans there is one interesting change.
The hit series, Revenge which presently airs on Wednesday nights at 10PM EST/PST will move to Desperate Housewives slot of the past eight seasons, Sunday Nights at 9PM. Revenge’s new lead-in will now be the hit series, Once Upon A Time.
However, the new Connie Britton and Jonathan Jackson nightttime sudser, Nashville will debut in Revenge’s current slot of Wednesday nights at 10PM EST/PST. Nashville’s lead-in will be the new series, Neighbors, which focuses on the residents of the community of Hidden Hills.
Are you looking forward to the second season of Revenge and Jonathan Jackson’s new starring vehicle, Nashville? Let us know!
Nope… I just keep looking for ABC to announce the return of “One Life To Live”
I was going to say no to but you beat me to it, I also want one life to live back, Forget these other shows.
I stand with you, Brian, but I do not think we will receive what we want.
I am glad REVENGE is moving to Sundays. With HOUSEWIVES and CSI: MIAMI gone, and perhaps THE GOOD FIE off to a new night, Sunday is competitive. REVENGE is my choice.
This ain’t gonna happen.
Ditto!
So sad to hear this! Sunday night is where tv shows go to die! I can appreciate that ABC wants to build an audience for Nashville by putting after Modern Family and its family of hit sitcoms, BUT not at the expense of Revenge, please!! Revenge is not a show that should be shown in the still pseudo-family friendly hour of 9PM. I fear the network may push creator / head writer Kelly to mellow out the show to match the new day and time and that will seriously jeopardize the show’s integrity and will drive away its loyal audience. Please, ABC, if you send Revenge to die after the bs you pulled with your daytime line-up….well, I wouldn’t want to be you.
No Sunday is not where tv shows go to die, it is the Friday night slots and Saturday (when a lot of people are out and not sitting home watching tv) …Sunday is a very big TV night. Shows have stayed on that night for years and receive big audiences.
I too wait to hear One Life to Live is coming back. I think Revenge will do just fine on Sunday Night at 9pm, it already has a fan base so there should be no ratings dip.
I can’t wait to see Jonathan Jackson in his new sexy role with the added bonus of hearing him sing. I’ve always thought for a long time that he is just one of those elite actors that deserves more than acting in a soap, that his special talent was being lost on most of the night time viewers and boy oh boy are they in for a treat something us GH fans have been blessed to witness. Good luck JJ I’ll be watching.
I think this is a stupid move. ABC had a strong line-up with The Middle, Suburgatory, Modern Family, Don’t Trust The B in Apt. 23 and then the incredibly good Revenge…..I absolutely hate it, when networks take a hit show and start moving it around to another night. What in the Hell is wrong with ABC?! Do they want their shows to fail? Now instead of beating all the competition on Wednesday night, they will move to Sunday where there are tons of great programs on other networks that they will have to compete with. Here are the names of just a few that Revenge will now have to compete with……Nurse Jackie, The Big C, The Killing, Game of Thrones…..just another bad move by ABC.
Revenge has many followers and is strong enough to stand against any show.
What ABC needs to do is give GH a great lead-in.
Lead-ins are very important and GH has the failed Revolution for its’ lead-in, terrible.
No doubt. GH would raise its’ numbers with a good lead-in..
My point exactly…..why mess with success? I know it has a strong following…..I’m one of those people that loves this show, but I find when networks start moving shows around, they risk the chance of losing viewership, because the show is now in a different swimming pool, swimming with other sharks. I just don’t think it’s a chance worth taking.
How about OLTL for a lead-in for GH? How about giving FV/RC two hours for combining OLTL and GH? How about ABC going back in time and fixing the stupidest mistake every made in daytime when it canceled OLTL?
.
I read that this is Revenges last season/then it will done/over….
So, it would make no difference if it goes to Sunday night..
YES DAVID YES. Why can’t we wake up from the nightmare of no OLTL? I am dying to know what all was gonna happen on there that we will never know. IT WAS SO GOOD.
The killing and Game of Thrones are on at differen’t times than Revenge will be- but hopefully it wont come on until the walking dead season ends because that is the same time slot.
Both, The Killing and Game of Thrones air at 9pm/ 8 CST on Sundays….I know this because I watch one and DVR the other
Yes sorry…They are both on at 11 too I didn’t know it was replay as I watched and recorded other shows at 9 then watched those later on, Thanks :)…but that is a good thing for people who want to watch revenge and record something else at 9 then watch or record the other shows when they repeat 🙂
Nashville
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.
