Love Nashville – so pleased to hear of it’s renewal by ABC.

Yay!! I love Nashville and it just keeps getting better.

Fantastic!!! LOVE this nighttime soap.
Recently attended “Nashville on the record 2” at the Grand Ole Opry.
Charles E,Claire B,Jonathan J, Sam P……. Were all their,Great show.

So ABC keeps this silly Southern-fried saga whilst cancelling “Forever,” an intelligent, classy show with a dashing leading man, charming supporting cast and intriguing storylines? There is simply no justice in the world…..Oh, Henry…we hardly knew ye!

Wow, really surprised at this. I loved seasons 1 and 2 but this past season has been the agony hour with little happiness or fulfillment for anyone. Hope there will be a little more balance in season 4. And please let Jonathan Jackson pop into ‘General Hospital!’

Wonderful news. Next to Downton Abbey this is my favorite prime time show.

I enjoy Nashville but hope ABC will let Jonathan Jackson get back to GH during the summer to help Genie Francis usher Anthony Geary and Luke Spencer out of Port Charles.

Awesome news but not surprising since with 4 seasons under its belt, the show qualifies for reruns via syndication..So happy..Love this show.

TERRIFIC NEWS!!!!!!!!!!! LOVE THIS SHOW……GETS BETTER AND BETTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ABC should’ve cancelled this show and given the superior MISTRESSES the time slot. They’ve told more story in 26 episodes than NASHVILLE has in 64.

Great news. I love Nashville.

One of my favs…I’m simultaneously thrilled and worrying in advance if it will go on after the new season! 😉 Hate being at the mercy of big business…

Could not be more excited about this news. I do not watch much tv but this show has hooked me. Love all of the characters, the stars that play them and the storylines too. congrats on season 4 cannot wait. thank you again

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.
