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.
He won five Daytime Emmys as General Hospital’s Lucky Spencer and now actor and musician, Jonathan Jackson is scheduled to head to the United Kingdom this fall, when he reunites with some of the cast of the former ABC primetime music city drama, Nashville.
Jackson shared on his Instagram, “This has been in the works for a while, and I’m thrilled to announce that the NASHVILLE cast and I are reuniting for a special UK tour this October. I’m excited about this!”

On Nashville, Jonathan Jackson starred for six season as Avery Barkley before the series concluded in the summer of 2018, after it moved from ABC to CMT for its final two seasons.
Joining Jonathan on the Nashville reunion tour are his former co-stars Clare Bowen, Charles Esten, and Sam Palladio. The fab four will play shows in Glasgow, Birmingham, London, and Cardiff, as they tour the UK.

My favorite part of each episode are the performances! Everyone is very talented! Hard to choose my favorite because each performer is uniquely talented. My DVR is set to record this episode!
I realize that I may be in the minority here, but this episode doesn’t interest me at all. I usually listen to a few seconds of a song then FF the rest. I prefer more dialog and less singing. If there is no storyline involved, I’ll just delete from my DVR.
SZima,,, Yes…. I agree !!
I can’t get enough of the stella sisters…Wish they got to sing more. Other than that I’ll go with Charles Esten
I do not like the music, they are not all that good..
I like the story and FF through most the music/songs..
I would be happy if there were one, just one, song per episode (preferably rock) lol
I hope this show gets cancelled, horrible storylines don’t watch anymore.
The only one I liked was Deacon and he’s fading out..
I love this show!! The music and the storyline is excellent. You always want more…but the studio or whoever puts it on like every 2 weeks leaving us hanging. I love this show and hope and pray it gets renewed. They soooo deserved it!!
I like all the performers.I like country music, and JJ and Hayden are terrific. Actually I like all the actors. . I just enjoy the show.
No Stella sisters? They are the musical highlight of the show and what it will be remembered for years from now.
How about Connie Britton and the Stella Sisters?
Love the show & Really Hope they bring it back. Would be Awesome if it ran for 6-10 season’s as the Storyline Continues & we get to see Maddy & her sister grow up & one or both become Famous like their mama. See Scarlet Finally find Love & Marriage, the Truth about Will comes out to his New Bride, there are so Many ways the storyline can go.
was hoping to find the video..
Why was Rayna and her girls not part of it?
LOVE this show! Hope it gets renewed for many seasons to come!
I also like Luke…though many are suspicious of his motives toward Rayna I think he genuinely loves her…but probaby a filler until they reunite Rayna and Deacon (who of course I’m crushin’ on like most everyone else!)
Didn’t think I’d like the Nashville Special even though I love the music and the talent…only because I so miss the show and am impatient for the next episode. I did however, watch, and it was fun. The cast (though not complete) who performed were great…fun to see them as themselves doing in reality what they do as their characters on the show. They’re all so muti-talented. What I didn’t want to see was non cast members singing…other than in the band. Just wanted to stick with my Nashville peeps. LOL.
Don’t know why Rayna and daughters weren’t there. Noticeably missed…
One of my favorite all time shows, which probably means that it’s on the chopping block, as that is what usually happens to most shows that I really enjoy. I’m from Canada and a huge Country Music lover. We attended Nashville for the first time over Christmas in 2012 and hope to get back soon. Highlites were attending The Ryman on December 29th. (John Conlee) and The Bluebird Cafe on New Year’s Eve (Roundtable with songwriters, Thom Schuyler; Fred Knobloch; Tony Arata and Jelly Roll Johnson). I think the singing is absolutely terrific on Nashville, and loved the most recent episode where Rayna; Deacon and the two girls sang to The Troops. I wish there was more songs on the show, especially some more with Maddie and Daphne.
Enjoyed watching the cast sing on this special..why doesn’t Connie Britton perform on these specials? Also missed the Stella sisters singing.
Why doesn’t Connie Briton not perform in the specials?
I am so disappointed I missed the 2015 on the record. I LOVE the show and ALL of the actors. I have been waiting for the perfect time to come to Nashville to see all of them perform. Please let me know when that will happen again. This is definitely on my Bucket list. We can come pretty much any time but it won’t be complete without seeing the Nashville Gang!
Also would like to see Rascel Flats. My brother Tony A. has met them and says they are wonderful people, very down to earth. He is going to see them in August I believe in Columbus Ohio. I am hoping to meet them with maybe my brothers help. What a thrill that will be. Please get a day if possible for the next OTR!
Thank you all so much.
