Nashville Spoilers and Speculation

[madam magpie]

That movie she did with Tina Fey and Jason Bateman was good!

The OJ story is just so trashy, and Faye Resnick?? The whole thing is bizarre, including several of the cast.

I know! I liked that movie too!

 

I find Faye Resnick questionable too, though it certainly takes her out of her Tami Taylor/Rayna James comfort zone. Seems like Ryan Murphy is building himself a little cult of acting talent. Connie was in the first season of American Horror Story and now is coming back for Faye. 

[bluelemon]

Stills from episode 17 when Juliette and Avery have their baby. Very cute.

***************DO NOT READ IF YOU DONT WANT SEASON FINALE SPOILER*****************

BELOW

Per Some Folks who get the sides:

Deacon and Rayna will marry, in the Hospital, in the Episode, before he is taken to surgery.

Apparently, a very bare bones wedding, with the Girls and Scarlett present.

Hey, it's a soap! I'm guessing it's leading up to some cliffhanger in the OR.

I'm hoping with syndication looming, the show will get a Season 4, Anyway. If not, at least theyre together, or, if it should end on a cliffhanger, we can imagine they are :-)

According to the scientific laws of episodic drama, if one couple is happy, the other couple is not.  What's going to happen to Avery and Juliette? 

[Sutton]

NO, NO, NO  I don't want to have to imagine that they're together, get married in the hospital before he goes into surgery, because they didn't get a 4th season. I already saw that happen in the Gilmore Girls series and hated it. Please Callie get your sh-t together and get us fans a 4th season. I'm hoping that syndication money will be a big deal to get them a season 4.

[pattycat]

Most sites, including, TV By The Numbers, and the Cancellation Bear, seem to think their chances for a Season 4 are very good (knock wood). And this site was very conservative with their chances, in both Season 1 and 2, in fact last year, one of their writers predicted cancellation, right up till the last month or so of the Season.

Ratings haven't been especially good, but they have been Very stable.

Staying hopeful!

Maybe we'll get lucky and it'll be Scarlett/Gunnar and Sadie/Luke who bring the relationship drama? Maybe...

[Sutton]

Thanks Pattycake for the infor.

 

Did you guys really think the writers were going to keep Juliette/Avery happy. I will give them, lets say until November before Juliette's jealousy resurfaces because Avery is either on tour or some groupies are hitting on him. Deacon/Rayna have gone through that already, so we have at least one full season (hoping a 4th season) to see them as a married couple, and Deacon with a family he has wanted for so long...

 

I'm assuming he got his donor liver from ???? Who will it be????

[Bubbetv]

Bluelemon, thanks SO much for linking the new baby stills! I dozed off at the end and the promo for next week "woke" me...sort of...I had the impression there's a tourbus crash and I thought that Avery was a gonner/liver donor! I've been in a bad mood all day thinking about that song he was singing was his write-off and I am PISSED! Oh these stills are a so cool!

There's no chance those stills are from a dream sequence right? Right?

I just sqeeeeeed over those photos. PERFECTION. yes please. I'm so ready. 

[madam magpie]

Haha! Rayna and her "stupid, perfect hair!"

http://www.eonline.com/news/642827/you-have-to-watch-rayna-s-epic-takedown-of-juliette-on-nashville

[airwair]

Maybe I'm just insensitive to pregnant people and their hormones but Juliette is acting like an idiot.

[madam magpie]

Yes, I believe that's the point. She's a tantrum-thrower on a good day. Hopped up on hormones and pregnancy misery, she's an epic tantrum-thrower. It's what's known as "funny."

[airwair]

Not sure if it's me or the writers or the portrayal, but I'm rolling my eyes more than laughing.

[Quof]

What  are they going to do with poor little Maisy's broken foot?

[madam magpie]

Deb Fordham said on Twitter that they're just shooting around it.

[hqtextbook]

I have been hating the pregnancy cliches for Juliette, but I thought that clip was phenomenal. These two are awesome. 

[madam magpie]

I find the entire thing to be laugh-out-loud funny...from Rayna picking up the enormous giraffe to how it looks like a boutique baby shop threw up in there to the way Juliette spits out the thing about Rayna's hair to how stunned she is that Rayna yelled her. Those two are so compelling to watch, and Hayden really has a knack for comedy. Here's hoping the show remembers that some people are more interesting than others...ahem...I could do with less Jeff/Teddy/Hooker Natasha and more Deacon/Rayna/Juliette/Avery.

Edited April 7, 2015 by madam magpie

[Sutton]

I would like to see more of that back and forth confrontation between Rayna and Juliette. That's why Season 1 was so good the bantering between the two of them was amazing and funny. The writer who wrote that line for Juliette that Rayna's hair was perfect,, maybe he's new and will put a little comedy in some of the episodes.

[hqtextbook]

 Here's hoping the show remembers that some people are more interesting than others...ahem...I could do with less Jeff/Teddy/Hooker Natasha and more Deacon/Rayna/Juliette/Avery.

yesyesyesyesYESSSS. No seriously though. When its those 4 and its about music is when this show is actually great. 

[GaT]

I was wondering why the hooker needs the money NOW & is so insistent on getting it, & then I remembered that Teddy knows her because she was introduced to him by Jeff. Jeff has no job or prospects, & could use an infusion of cash. I wonder if this is all a plot by Jeff to get money, & the hooker is working for him.

[airwair]

I think the Feds are legit--we saw them in the van, after all. But I do think they already have her and she has already cut a deal and she's wired up every time she stalks him.

I can't remember, how did we find out they were the Feds? 

[airwair]

We saw the authorities in the van and then she cornered him next ep or so and said "the Feds" had her under surveillance.

We saw the authorities in the van and then she cornered him next ep or so and said "the Feds" had her under surveillance.

So we only know that they're the Feds because the hooker said so? I'm thinking it's an old fashioned blackmail scheme, nothing to do with the Feds. The hooker & the guys in the van probably all work together, the hooker gets some married guy in her house for sex, the guys in the van film it, then somewhere along the way they use the tape to blackmail whoever the married guy is. They just lucked out it happened to be the Mayor.

[airwair]

Nah. Pretty sure it's legit and he's going to end up dead or in the slammer when it all goes down. Just a hunch.

Teddy has worn out his relevance on the show and I think TPTB finally see it, which is why he's unraveling so quickly.

[GaT]

Well, it looks like the feds are real & Teddy is screwed. I wonder if Teddy will kill Jeff when he realizes that this all started because Jeff set him up with a hooker, & that's how both of them will be off the show. Jeff will be dead & Teddy will be in jail.

Nashville - Episode 3.21 - Is the Better Part Over

Juliette's team worries she is suffering from postpartum depression.

 

That's from Spoilertv.  I kind of noticed in all the scenes where she is with the baby, she put on a big smile when people looked at her.  Otherwise she never seems keen on being alone with the baby. 

[madam magpie]

http://www.spoilertv.com/2015/04/nashville-episode-320-time-changes_27.html?m=1

It's impossible for me to watch this without thinking,"Crazy Mama Colette! You give Mrs. Coach the liver she needs! Do it now!"

Edited April 28, 2015 by madam magpie

[Sutton]

Thanks for the sneak peek MM. I wonder whats going to make Beverly change her mind she sure does look mean, not happy, maybe Rayna should offer her one million dollars I bet her face would light up on that offer and then agree to be Deacon's donor.

[airwair]

There is a sneak on the ABC site of Juliette giving Maddie a semi-sex talk since Deacon apparently walked in on her and Colt disrobing.

Oh boy.

[madam magpie]

I just saw that. Is it wrong that I'm hoping Rayna shows up later, horrified and shouting, "YOU ARE FIFTEEN YEARS OLD. YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED TO HAVE SEX!"

I am glad it wasn't a fake-out, though.

Where's that sneak peek? Anyone have the link? Can we just pretend she's like 18? 

[airwair]

As much as I would love that reaction from Rayna, I feel like the way Maddie is convonced she will flip and ban Colt from her life is setting it up for Rayna to be very soft spoken, calm, and somewhat "supportive." (Unlike Deacon, who is apparently so horrified he can't look at her.) Like her reaction will shock Maddie or something.

I'm envisioning something similar to Tami Taylor having the talk with Julie.

[madam magpie]

Hqtextbook: The sneak peek is on the ABC site. If you go there, choose Nashville, and then go to the clips, you should be able to find it. There are two new ones: this and Avery/Juliette.

Airwair: I think you're right...or hope so anyway, especially if the alternative is some sort of ban of Colt. If Rayna handles it calmly, that's great. I'm also hoping that Deacon is just stunned, embarrassed, and worried, more than mad. I'll be really disappointed if they turn him into one of those dads who freaks out because the girl might have sex, simply because she's a girl having sex. He's never been that way, he was the one who said something to Rayna like "I bet you slipped out when you were her age," and he has always been perfectly OK with Scarlett and her boyfriends having sex, in his house even. Maddie is a lot younger, so it makes sense that he'd be concerned and uncomfortable, but I really don't want some BS where his reaction is hypocritical because Maddie is his baby and Scarlett's "just" his niece. What I really wish is that they'd have Deacon talk to her about it like a sane person, but that may be too much to hope for. This storyline is good, I think, realistic, but boy do I hope Connie Britton has some influence here and these writers aren't just left to their own cliched devices. I like how straightforward Maddie is being with Juliette, though, and hope that's a sign that her mother has set that tone all along. Plus, Maddie is surrounded by women. She should be able to talk to them. And didn't Deb Fordham write this episode? She usually does a good job. We shall see...

Edited April 29, 2015 by madam magpie

[Clemgo3165]

Count me in MM. I'm hoping Deacon is just stunned and embarrassed to have caught them in action, and needs a minute to get his bearings. I hope he talks with her directly, like he usually does and doesn't avoid the subject for the rest of the night. Or, as you say, be hypocritical about it. Though I would imagine coming to terms with seeing your daughter getting it on with her boyfriend at 15 would be a lot to take in for any Dad. I just don't want Juliette's discussion with Maddie to be the only one until Rayna gets home, I'd like him to address it as well.

[airwair]

Based on the look on his face in the promo and the look on Colt's face I'm envisioning something similar to Bruce Willis chasing Ben Affleck with a shotgun in Armageddon.

But hopefully not.

[smiley13]

There is a sneak on the ABC site of Juliette giving Maddie a semi-sex talk since Deacon apparently walked in on her and Colt disrobing.

Oh boy.

I hope they handle this as Rayna, Deacon, Teddy and Luke all being horrified.  Maddie is a 15 year old child.  She is underage.  Colt is obviously a little older than her, but is still a child.  There better be some shotguns brought out to run his behind out of whoever's house it is.

[Sutton]

I don't know, I was just thinking how this series handles problems, they never seem to solve the problems they create, they just leave us to assume, there's no closure, episodes just end. Don't they have enough problems they have to deal with before the season finale, maybe like Deacon getting or not getting a donor liver, or maybe flat lining on the operating table,Teddy getting arrested for embezzlement, blackmail, covering up the almost suicide in Jeff's pool. PDD that Juliette now has,(her being that rich normal rich people will have at least a nurse for a couple of weeks to help, anyone research that) and now Maddie having sex at 15 yrs old. Are all of these going to be cliff hangers in the season finale? Only 3 episodes left, what else can they throw at us.

[madam magpie]

I guess I just don't see Maddie maybe/maybe not wanting to have sex as an earth shattering problem. It's a normal problem, which is why I like it. It's also not, for me, something to get angry about as a parent. It's something to sit down and have a serious conversation about, to encourage Maddie to wait, to explain why, etc. but I mean...teenagers have sex, and most of the ones not actually doing it want to. It's just a normal part of the growing up journey, and it's Rayna's and Deacon's (and Teddy's, though seriously, if we want to drop him from the child-rearing, that's ok with me) responsibility to help Maddie navigate through that. I don't want Deacon to shame her or Rayna to scream at her. I want them to tell and show her why it matters. Having sex at fifteen isn't the best course of action, I'd encourage anyone that age to wait, but if you're safe, it probably won't kill you either. Should we let Maddie drive? Should her parents teach her how to do that and how to be safe about it? Or should we scare and shame her off the road until she's older? She's a lot more likely to die in a car with her boyfriend than sleeping with him...assuming her mother has taught her about condoms. I realize this is Tennessee...do they even have sex ed in school? But I have some faith in Rayna with that one.

[Sutton]

MM - My last comment on Maddie having sex at 15 yrs old, it just another problem they have to confront on already to many problems, not enough screen time for the main characters.. I'm hoping either Deacon/Rayna will give her the advice she needs for her to make the right decision. I'm just stating why bring this up now couldn't they have waited for next season (that's if they get a season 4) getting Deacon on the road to recovery, and then, okay man, you wanted a family, here comes everything that goes with having a teenage daughter and it's what you wanted (what did Deacon say to Rayna in the closet, he's waited for dull???). That isn't the right word. Three more episodes, so when are they going to get all of the problems they have now solved before episode #22??? Are all going to be cliff hangers?

Edited April 30, 2015 by Sutton

[madam magpie]

Naw, Maddie and Colt are just life. I think Juliette/postpartum depression and Deacon/his liver will be the cliffhangers. Maybe Teddy goes to jail...if we're lucky!

[GaT]

The more I think about it the more I think Beverley is going to die. Rayna gave her the $1,000,000 for the liver (even though she never specifically said that was what it was for) & I think Beverley is going to donate her liver, but something will go wrong & she dies. Rayna will then have GUILT all next season while Deacon & Scarlett mourn & that will be the reason that Rayna & Deacon still don't get together permanently. 

[madam magpie]

Didn't I read somewhere that Rayna and Deacon get married in the finale, though? I'm starting to think (hope) maybe Rayna tells Deacon the truth next week, which leads to all the crying. Beverly could still die in the finale and the check could still haunt them later because Deacon or Scarlett or Rayna herself could see it as Rayna basically paying Beverly off as a trade for Deacon's life. Or maybe the cops find the check and come after Rayna?? I do think buying the liver is going to bite Rayna in the ass. I'm just not sure how.

[jjj]

Yes, a poster above that they get married in the hospital -- pre- or post-operation.  I have the feeling there will be a cliffhanger!  Just a hunch! 

[MusicCityFan]

According to the scientific laws of episodic drama, if one couple is happy, the other couple is not.  What's going to happen to Avery and Juliette? 

 

CofCinci, since you posted that, lots has happened of course so we probably all have a good idea.  Season finale is titled 'Just so you know before you Go" and looks like, as someone else noted above, the season cliffhangers will be Juliett's PPD and Deacon/his illness.

 

That looks pretty confirmed by the recent photos on line. Spoiler TV (www.spoilertv.com)  just posted photos for the season finale. Lots of Deacon and his family at the hospital. Gunnar is there (could he be a surprise liver donor?) as well. He's probably there just for support maybe, since he/Scarlett will be on Rayna's label. But the guy who plays the doctor in this storyline said that the Dr/Scarlett/Gunnar love triangle (which am not vested in) plays a role in the season finale, so could that be the surprise? Don't see rotten sister Beverly in the photos, but in some other interviews it was noted (maybe by Dee Johnson?) that Rayna and Deacon make a 'deal with the devil' so the devil has to be Beverly, right? Based on the organ bribe? Who knows.

 

Most telling (maybe?) might be the Juliette/Avery pix posted. It LOOKS like they have a fight, and then looks like Juliette actually THROWs something at Avery and the baby? That might be the final thing that makes Avery leave and take the kid with him. Episode summary also said that "Avery makes a decision that impacts the rest of their lives"... which seems more emphatic and permanent-- might they show Avery leaving Nashville? Since it looks like he's out of the music business right now, maybe he decides to just get out of town for awhile?

 

Looks like by the end of season 3, no one will be happy. I just talked myself into drinking early.

[hqtextbook]

Anyone know when we'll know if theres a season 4? When did they renew last year?

[pattycat]

Renewals should be out at the end of this week. Let's hope that Nashville gets a renewal nod, in the the first group of announcements!

Last year was not good. ABC announced most of their renewals, no Nashville. The only positive in that, for me, I couldn't imagine, if they were canceling, why not announce it right away? We don't want another pins and needles, like that, eh?

Apparently, the sides for the Finale, do have a Rayna/Deacon hospital wedding! I guess we'll find out!
