Hey all, TWOP refugee here.

In terms of spoilers -- we have Luke's military accident and Scarlett-related discord between Avery and Juliette.

Let's get the speculation going here! What do you think is in store for Will (suicide attempt?), Deacon (maintained sobriety?), Scarlett (inpatient hospitalization?), Juliette (continued maturity?), Jeff (goes to work for Rayna's label?), Zoe (leaves town?), Gunnar (bicuriousity? I wish) and Rayna (lots of Emmy bait crying between the issues with her daughter and the soon to be temporarily disabled Luke?).

Perhaps the fetus has a tiny set of horns, a spiked tail and an itty-bitty pitchfork clutched in one of its developing hands?

Maddie has been such a nasty bitch to Deacon and Rayna that it's only right that Maddie spread the wealth to Teddy. Honestly Deacon and Teddy should fight over who doesn't get her (no you take her - n

Oh gawd. I'm guessing that Juliette and Avery break up because they think Jeff is the father but the ultrasound reveals that she become pregnant while with Avery. Avery tries to move on with cute wait

Hiya! Here's what I think: Will (no), Deacon (yes), Scarlett (lord, I hope not), Juliette (hell yeah!), Jeff (no way!), Zoey (I'm torn now that she's useful for the Bluebird band), Gunnar (dream a little dream), and Rayna (I expect the crying to be epic).

ETA: Uh-oh.

Total guesses here, with about four episodes left in the season:

Layla eventually figures it out. SHE tries to commit suicide, then outs Will. 

Gunnar buys the house we saw at the end of last ep. Then he repeats and proposes to Zoe as a way to convince her to stay in Nashville. 

Avery and Juliette are still together at season's end. 

Charlie does something to get Avery fired from the tour. 

Deacon has yet another girlfriend by season's end. 

Luke finally blows out of the picture in some sort of manufactured dramatic exit. Rayna is single again, and has at least one moment with Deacon that makes us think YES! They are meant to be.

Maddie calms down for an episode or two, but at season's end she either runs away or sneaks in to play a club.

Juliette, the Sisyphus of this cast, keeps singing, touring, working, mistreating, and never ever ever getting fully comfortable or safe. I can't even guess what happens, but expect both her career and love life to be in jeopardy a couple more times before we wrap it up.

And my biggest prediction... despite being on the bubble constantly, a combination of good reviews and goodwill generated by the show, the music sales, the wholehearted support of the Nashville community, the show just squeezes past the post and gets renewed for a third season!

I hope so!  I just love this show!  The music is outstanding.

I posted this in the Music of Nashville thread as a spoiler, but I'm going to post it here too without the tags.

Nashville's season 3 premiere is going to have live singing (on both coasts!). It sounds like they're going to have the regular recorded show, & then insert the singing part in, Will & Deacon will each sing a song.

This isn't really a spoiler because it's been reported in the media, so I'll make it speculative:

Laura Benanti will be joining Nashville in a recurring role as an up-and-coming country singer and possible rival of Rayna. The sooner we see her the better, as far as I'm concerned. If you haven't seen it yet, watch her "auditioning" for all the roles in Peter Pan, and I bet you'll fall in love, too: http://www.theatermania.com/video/laura-benanti-auditions-for-nbcand39s-peter-pan-li_627.html

I'm guessing she'll take over the villain role from Juliette, who has gradually become more sympathetic. My fondest hope is that she'll steal Luke away - far, far away.

- Juliette has her first ultrasound and is shocked when she finds out who the father could be.

- Deacon and Luke argue over Deacon's relationship with Maddie.

- The newest waitress at the bluebird takes an interest in Avery.

- Avery makes a bold move in an effort to move on from Juliette.

 

 

This was on spoilertv.  I don't know how accurate it is.

Also, how could an ultrasound give her any information about who her baby's father is?? I mean, it could date conception, but to the hour? It's not like Juliet and Avery had been broken up for more than five minutes before she slept with Jeff, if I'm remembering right.

From what I remember, they weren't broken up at all then. They didn't break up until Avery found out about Jeff. As far as we know, the father can only be Avery or Jeff.

Avery tries to move on with cute waitress. Juliette sees Avery with waitress and decides not to tell him the truth. She's probably standing in the rain outside of the Bluebird too.

I think the only reason for this stupid baby plot is that Hayden Panettiere is pregnant in real life. Why couldn't they just hide her behind things instead? Baby plots always screw up a show IMO. I'm sure we're going to have lots of "who's the daddy?" drama, then when it's finally established who the father is, there will be lots of "will he step up & be a father or not?" drama, then of course there will be the inevitable "ZOMG, is she going to lose the baby?" drama. So, so boring.

In the rain while Deacon sings a sad song about Rayna inside. And it's dark. And Juliet peers forlornly through a window while standing outside alone.

Word.  Poor Juliette is so like Lady Edith on Downton Abbey.  She can't catch a break.  Rayna gets pregnant out of wedlock and still has men lined up to marry her.  Juliette will be forced to wear a scarlet letter and apologize to everyone in Nashville.  I don't dispute that Juliette is incredibly self destructive, but Avery was at fault on this one, too.  He should have told Juliette that he was spending the night at the hospital.  For that matter, he shouldn't have spent the night at the hospital with his former girlfriend.

I'm guessing she finds out she was already pregnant when she slept with Jeff.

Ah-ha! That's a good point.

 

I think the thing I like least about this storyline is that it really devalues the original secret child storyline, which was actually set up really well and believably. The whole thing with Rayna, Maddie, and Deacon has been central to the plot since the beginning and has (mostly) been interesting, engaging, and surprisingly un-soapy given its subject. But this thing with Juliette just screams soap opera. There's no depth to it at all, and it seems like a desperate attept to deal with Hayden's real pregnancy. Or they just really have no new ideas.

I don't even get why they bothered writing it in.  Hayden is very obviously pregnant at this point so they're going to have to hide her behind plants and purses for the first few epiodes while they set the whole thing up anyway and then we need a time jump somewhere in there if they want Juliette to deliver before Hayden does.

The latest spoilers on TVLine.com upset me. I won't link because they are two separate articles.

 

So Gunnar's high school love shows up with a 10 year old?  I thought the Gunnar character was wasted the first two seasons with unoriginal stories and bad luck. A possible kid would just be a mess, in my opinion, because it's yet another unoriginal story line that is never very interesting. We'll have to rely on the actors' chemistry for this one, I think. (I was hoping Gunnar and Scarlett would get back together.)

 

It's only season 3 and both Gunnar and Juliette (and possibly Avery) are going to have children?

 

And Deacon's back up singer becomes his muse? What the? Does this mean Rayna says yes to Luke? Because why would any writer have Rayna get back together with Deacon only to have him become infatuated with another woman? 

 

Wow, I'm not excited about any of the new shows this upcoming season, so I was counting on Nashville to get it right. Now I'm not s sure.

If they go the dead baby route with Juliette then they deserve every single bad rating they get.

If you look at the second pic here I'm pretty sure that's Luke's ring she's wearing.

Thanks for that link. I'm worried now that I won't last the season. I didn't come into this for romance, but the Deacon/Rayna relationship is one of the main reasons I still watch Nashville, especially since I don't have a lot of faith in the writers/show runners anymore, and a lot of the other story lines are cliche or end too quickly.

 

I was willing to wait an entire season for Deacon and Rayna to get together, and I assumed the second season would try to focus on them finding a way back to each other. I'm not sure I'm interested in sitting through a third season where they steal quick looks at each other, struggle silently with their possible love for each other while leading other people on, etc., etc. And it doesn't help that I don't like Luke, or his son.

I totally agree. They set up that particular relationship so well in the first season that it became the most compelling part of the show for me, not because I was interested in the melodrama, but because it felt very real and I was completely taken with the story of how these people would find their way back to one another. But then in season two, they totally blew it. Rayna and Deacon as a pair became a soap opera cliche, and Rayna herself became increasingly unlikeable and boring. Deacon's transformation from fall-down drunk to stand-up dad was interesting to watch and it singled him out as the more compelling character of the pair, which is ridiculous since Rayna is the lead on this show. As we stand now, Rayna is kind of a jerk and a huge letdown. She's dropped her devotion to her children and now treats them mostly as annoyances or ignores them, she's wrapped her label's success up in her own album alone and is possibly the worst businesswoman ever to run a business, she takes no real proactive steps toward anything; things just happen to her, and in her personal life she's done nothing but hide from a relationship we were shown in season one to be the real deal. And on top of that, she's paired with a love interest who is so lacking in personality he makes me fast forward or change the channel...when Connie Britton is on my TV! I never thought that would happen. When you add to that all the other boring secondary characters plus the slew of new ones they've got planned, my jaw hits the floor. It's remarkable to me that a show so full of talent and promise could turn out to be as trite as this has become. I was really hoping they'd right their ship in season three, but I don't know...it doesn't sound like it. The music is still so good, though, and I adore Charles Esten and Lennon Stella together. They should get a spin-off where they go on a road trip and play small clubs; if they also took Maisy, wackiness could ensue.

Another new character. DWTS Derek Hough is joining the show. From People

 

 

Derek Hough is going country!

PEOPLE has learned that the Dancing with the Stars pro will join ABC's Nashville this season for a multi-episode arc.

Hough will play Noah West, a 20-something movie star who will cross paths with the Nashville characters when he's tapped for a leading role in the biopic of a famous country singer.

ABC says the role requires Hough to play a "beguiling and disarming" guy. Not so much of a stretch for the 29-year-old hoofer, eh?

His episodes are expected to air in October.

From E!

 

Jenna M.: What's coming up for my favorite troublemaker Juliette on Nashville?
Oh, aside from the fact that Hayden Panettiere's real-life pregnancy is definitely being written into the show, setting the stage for some major baby daddy drama? Well, Juliette is heading to Hollywood in an attempt to headline a major biopic about one of country music's most iconic singers. (Hint: her last name starts with a C!) But will an it boy actor, whose already been cast as her onscreen hubby, get in her way?

 

 

I guess Derek Hough is playing the actor?

TeeVee329

He [Derek Hough] can play Will's new gay lover.

 

My first instinct upon hearing the casting was that he was here for Scarlett while Gunnar's busy with Zoey and that high school flame of his.  But the spoiler from E! does make it sound like he's not going to get romantically involved with either (unless, I dunno, Scarlett ends up working with Juliette somehow or something dumb like that).
