Today, TV Guide posted their annual feature of Returning Fall Shows: Where We Left Off, which recounts how last season ended for some of your favorite drama and comedies, and what to look forward to during the new season, as many series will begin to have their premieres throughout September and into October.

As for the Music City soap opera, Nashville now entering it’s fourth season, viewers left off with the cliffhanger of who flatlined during the liver transplant surgery: Deacon (Charles Esten) or his sister Beverly (Dana Wheeler-Nicholson).  Bets are on Bev did!

But as previewed from TVG, Connie Britton’s Rayna James will have plenty of changes personally and professionally to deal with in the new season:  “When the season picks up, about a month after the events of Season 3, ‘nothing is going to be the same” executive producer Dee Johnson says.  ‘Rayna comes into this new world order having to kind of start from scratch again on a lot of levels.’  On the professional side, that entails building up her roster again, which she does by recruiting an indie rocker who has a huge fan base and an ego to match. On the Juliette front, she continues to distract herself from motherhood by throwing herself into her music and going out on tour with Luke. Will is ‘in a self-imposed exile,’ Johnson says, as he tries to navigate the waters of his relationship with Kevin and his new role as an out country artist. And Layla and Jeff find themselves ‘on slightly more equal footing’ in their relationship, but look for Layla to feel slighted since she’s no longer Jeff’s No. 1 client.”

So, are you looking forward to season four of Nashville which begins on Wednesday night, September 23rd at 10PMET/9CT?  What do you think of the rundown thus far of what to expect is going to go down in the fourth season? Comment below!

I once worked in a transplant unit and it is very long journey for the transplant recipient,
After surgery they are in an induced 3-4 day coma and til release drainage bags that go home with many, so that will be phony lol..
I like Nashville, I do not like the music and usually FF it..
I hope this season has less music and more drama. 🙂

Can’t wait love love love this show at its soapy best, such talented actors. Live tbe music and drama all rolled into one great show!

LOVE THIS SHOW…THE ACTORS AND THE MUSIC!!!!

I have no doubt I’ll love whatever they bring. LOVE this show and am relieved each time it’s renewed. The music…such a collaborative effort and a great showcase for these performers who have musical AND acting chops! The songs are so intertwined with the stories and relationships and depict a NASHVILLE I at this point can only imagine…a music community that thrives on creatvity which I love…but still has to deal with the reality of big business, competition and cutthroat realities. (Not to mention love, love, love…) Can’t wait!

I really enjoy this show actors and music. Will be watching.

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.
