Tonight, ABC’s Nashville (10PMET/PT) returns with an all-new episode where we meet Scarlett’s mother (Dana Wheeler-Nicolson) and from the sneak peek for the episode entitled, “Crazy”, she may just be all that! Or, will Scarlett (Claire Bowen) be the one to finally go off the deep end?
Here’s what to look for: Maddie’s (Lennon Stella) news goes viral and stirs a media frenzy including being a “Hot Topic” on The View and the real-life co-hosts of The View- Barbara Walters, Whoopi Goldberg, Sherri Shepherd and Jenny McCarthy guest-star as themselves. Rayna (Connie Britton) tries to manage the fallout by going on Good Morning America and real-life anchor Robin Roberts guest stars as herself.
Meanwhile, when Juliette (Hayden Panettiere) faces more empty seats on her tour, she reaches out to Charlie Wentworth (Charlie Bewley) for a favor, and Scarlett’s mother, Beverly, surprises her daughter in San Francisco, but things do not go well!
Watch a sneak peek when Scarlett’s mama blindsides her and we learn that she has some very deep resentment for her daughter after the jump! Then, let us know, what do you think will happen to Scarlett? Will mama push her over the edge? And what do you think of the use of the ABC morning shows as crossovers that fit within the theme of the current Nashville storyline? Let us know!

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.

I think we will finally see the root of Scarlett ‘ S fragile foundation. I love the use of the morning show hosts, it gives the show a more grounded connection to our reality.
Claire Bowen is gorgeous. I love Nashville. I love the songs. I’ve downloaded a few from ITunes. Everyone is very talented.
Get rid of the mother….could not stand to watch her abusive nature, poor Scarlett. She played her part well because I can’t stand her. Still looking for the story behind Deacon & Luke Wheeler. LW was mad that Deacon wasn’t drinking….ummmmm? Enjoyed the use of the morning shows and love seeing the famous country stars guess every once in awhile. Waiting to hear if the renew for a 3rd season! Please!!
I’ve always liked Scarlett…that’s never wavered. I do think it’s interesting to see this abusive back story…and I thought she played it brilliantly, especially when she sang her heart and angst out to her mother. It was truly frightening to watch that interaction. Very powerful stuff.
I disagree about the morning stuff. I cannot stand THE VIEW…so would rather them not tarnish NASHVILLE for me. I do like Robin Roberts though so that didn’t bother me as much. But in general, I find that when they incorporate real talk show hosts into a show I just see it as advertising for the network since they’re all ABC shows.
