Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Nashville is an ABC turned CMT series starring Connie Britton and Hayden Panettiere, produced by Lionsgate Television and ABC Studios and created by Callie Khouri. Set in Nashville, the capital of country music, the story revolves around two singers: Rayna Jaymes (Britton), wife and mother whose career isn't so glittering as it used to be, and Juliette Barnes (Panettiere), young singing sensation who's very definitely a shining star.So much so that Rayna's label wants her to go on tour and open for Juliette; needless to say, neither woman much likes the other. But that's not the only problem either has to face, in terms of business or their personal lives - Rayna's father Lamar (Powers Boothe), the most powerful man in Nashville (whom she has a bad relationship with), coaxes her husband Teddy (Eric Close) to run for mayor so he can run his own agenda, including getting the city a Major League Baseball team. And Juliette isn't exactly free of parental issues herself, with a mother who's a drug addict. Their issues continue in season two, with more parental problems and conflicts with their label Edgehill unto both ladies departing, with one jumping to her own label Highway 65 and the other being pushed. No prizes for guessing which is which.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })The series also follows wide-eyed innocent Scarlett O'Connor (Clare Bowen), an ingenue with an outstanding voice who, lucky lass, has two men eyeing her - her partner Gunnar (Sam Palladio) and bad-boy musician Avery (Jonathan Jackson); and Scarlett's uncle, Nashville guitarist Deacon Claybourne (Charles Esten), who has a history with Rayna - and who both she and Juliette have been linked with professionally and personally. But rather more so with Rayna, to the point that her firstborn child Maddie is Deacon's daughter (Maddie and her sister Daphne are played by real-life sisters Lennon and Maisy Stella), which eventually leads to Rayna and Teddy's divorce.Season two also sees more of seriously closeted up-and-comer Will Lexington (Chris Carmack), introduced towards the end of season one, and the arrival of Layla Grant (Aubrey Peeples) as a new signee to Edgehill, second-place winner of American Hitmaker, and rival to Juliette; Scarlett's childhood friend and aspiring singer Zoey Dalton (Chaley Rose) and country megastar Luke Wheeler (Will Chase) also arrive on the scene, with Luke becoming The Rival to Deacon for Rayna. The musically blessed Maddie also starts to try and take flight as a tunesmith.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_1'); })In season three Rayna befriends another country newcomer in the form of Sadie Stone (Laura Benanti), while Juliette becomes pregnant (coinciding with Hayden Panettiere's real-life condition at the time) and crosses paths with pop singer/country wannabe Jade St. John (Christina Aguilera) who turns out to be Jeff's ex. Deacon has a much, much less pleasant health issue to deal with, meanwhile... he has liver cancer. Juliette is not in a happy place herself (mentally) after giving birth. Season four sees Rayna take on a new Jerkass singer called Markus for her label, while Juliette's professional life and private life are at odds.Khouri's husband, T-Bone Burnett, was in charge of the show's music in season one; his subsequent departure from the show (due to prior commitments) led to some fans citing Seasonal Rot.In 2014 Nashville: On The Record, a TV special focusing on the show's music, was recorded on March 29 at the Ryman Auditorium with Panettiere, Bowen, Esten, Jackson, Palladio, Carmack, Peeples, Chase and Rose, but not Britton due to illnessnote though she does make a brief appearance in a non-singing capacity or the Stella sisters due to scheduling problems; it aired Wednesday April 23 in Nashville's usual 10pm timeslot, and is included on the Season 2 DVD set as an extra. Several of them (but not the two main stars) went on a three-city tour in April-May and toured again in 2015; Esten, Jackson, Palladio and Bowen also perform regularly in Nashville. 2016 sees them touring again, with Bowen, Carmack, Esten and Palladio also going overseas to the United Kingdom.A second On The Record special was recorded on January 31, 2015 and aired on March 25, with most of the cast members listed above plus Reba Mc Entire, Deana Carter, and this time Lennon and Maisy (but not Chaley Rose as she had left the series by then; Connie Britton didn't take part in this one either, and Hayden Panettiere was also MIA due to her being on maternity leave).Unsurprisingly, several soundtrack albums (including ones for both TV specials) are available as well as digital compilations spotlighting Clare Bowen, Hayden Panettiere and Lennon & Maisy.Sadly, certain political developments hastened the end of the series as a contributory factor, as ABC cancelled it in May 2016. Not helping matters was Panettiere's ongoing struggles with PPD, and going into holistic treatment in Utah.However, the series was picked up by CMT for a fifth season (also due to be streaming on Hulu), with Hayden Panettiere, Connie Britton, and most of the other regulars returning (except for Aubrey Peeples and Will Chase, although the latter will be a guest star). The massive fan outcry from viewers and supporters within the US and aboard (plus within the cast and crew themselves) and the subsequent online petitions and social media campaigns for the show's return that followed may have triggered the sudden reversal. | |

No Celebrities Were Harmed | |
| Nashville / int_1282bf4f | comment |
No Celebrities Were Harmed: Hayden Panettiere's pointed out that Taylor Swift (who many feel Juliette is based on) is far nicer - and tallernote Hayden is standing on a step, stretching up and wearing high heels in this picture, and Taylor still has to crouch down - than her character. Evidence: Unlike Juliette, Taylor's never been caught shoplifting. Connie Britton has also denied Rayna's based on Reba McEntire. Several believe Rayna and Juliette have quite a few real-life equivalents, e.g. Faith Hill being usurped by Carrie Underwood, and Hayden's admitted Juliette is inspired a little by the latter. Carrie doesn't mind too much, but she does mind a bit. Although maybe not even that much, as the end credits for "I'll Never Get Out Of This World Alive" include "Special Thanks To Carrie Underwood." Juliette's music sounds a lot like Miranda Lambert's. Sean seems to be based on Tim Tebow. Pretty much sums up Juliette following the shoplifting and her extremely short marriage. Layla seems to have been inspired by American Idol contestant Lauren Alaina (both teens who finished second on their respective shows, though the similarities end there). At first glance, Jade St. John seems to be based on Jessica Simpson's brief foray into country. | |

Never Trust a Trailer: The network promo for "Stop The World (And Let Me Off)" implies that Rayna and Juliette will be having a "mom-off" over the latter encouraging Maddie to go on stage and perform with her. Although Juliette does get confronted over it, it comes from Luke (she and Rayna share no scenes in the episode at all). | |

Drowning My Sorrows | |
| Nashville / int_52488c54 | comment |
Drowning My Sorrows: Juliette did this after learning that Dante conned her. Of course, if it turns out addiction runs in the family, Juliette may need to ask Deacon to recommend a good rehab. Also: Deacon began Drowning His Sorrows in a bar after Rayna confirmed that she, Teddy, and Coleman lied by omission for thirteen years regarding Maddie's true paternity. Juliette did this again after Jeff gave her another "The Reason You Suck" Speech in the wake of the "There is no God" scandal. And again after sleeping with Jeff. All of which means that, as one viewer pointed out, "If Juliette had been pregnant for 8 weeks, she has been drinking A LOT while preggo." And again, quite a lot, in season four as part of her mental breakdown. | |

Tandy also takes a bus trip in "How Far Down Can I Go," although she comes back in "First To Get A Second Chance" to attend Rayna's abortive wedding to Luke. Zoey lights out for Los Angeles in "Two Sides To Every Story." She comes back for Beverly's funeral in season 4. Sadie hits the road in "This Just Ain't A Good Day For Leavin'" after she kills her abusive ex and escapes being charged. Teddy gets arrested at the end of season three, and Eric Close is leaving due to a creative shift to put the show's focus on (or back on) the music business. However, he still appears... from prison. | |

Pop-Cultural Osmosis Failure: Deacon names his new dog Sue.

"The Reason You Suck" Speech | |
| Nashville / int_7d89315b | comment |
"The Reason You Suck" Speech: Rayna (surprise, surprise) gives one to Juliette in "Lovesick Blues." And another, understandable one following Juliette's disastrous secret gig (where Maddie was one of the fans hurt) in "When You're Tired Of Breaking Other Hearts." Juliette finally gets to give one - to the Wentworths (particularly Olivia) - in "Hanky Panky Woman." But then she gets another one from label executive Jeff in "Just For What I Am." And returns the favour in "It's All Wrong, But It's All Right" when Jeff drops her from Edgehill following her refusal to apologise for something that, let's not forget, she didn't even do: In "Crazy," Scarlett gives one to her mom Beverly with her song "Black Roses." It probably wasn't a good idea because she did not take it well. She gives Beverly a non-musical one in the wake of her not only refusing to help her ill brother Deacon but claiming she and Deacon weren't compatible in terms of blood, when they were. | |

As Himself: Brad Paisley (even though his real life wife plays Peggy!) (Until... well, you know.), Zac Brown, Rascal Flatts's Jay DeMarcus, Mario Lopez, Florida Georgia Line and Luke Bryan. And Steven Tyler in the season four premiere, doing "Crazy" with Juliette. Elton John in "It's Sure Gonna Hurt." Various local Nashville media people (of both sexes) also appear as themselves. | |

Hide Your Pregnancy | |
| Nashville / int_a78aead3 | comment |
Hide Your Pregnancy: Weirdly, initially straight and averted. Juliette's pregnancy is established in "That's Me Without You," but... And funnily enough, this also happens in-universe as Juliette is acting in a movie at the time. Thoroughly averted as of "I'm Coming Home To You," the first episode to feature Hayden's/Juliette's baby bump. | |

Idiosyncratic Episode Naming | |
| Nashville / int_ac4ac8e5 | comment |
Idiosyncratic Episode Naming: The season one episodes - the pilot excepted - are named after Hank Williams songs... and quite why the producers made this decision for a series about two female country stars is a mystery. Interestingly, from season two onwards the episodes are mostly named after songs by female country singers (Patsy Cline, Kitty Wells, Emmylou Harris, Loretta Lynn, Dolly Parton etc). Does someone important on the show read this site? The only exceptions in season two are for the mid-season finale (Elvis Presley's "Tomorrow Never Comes") and the season finale (Randy Travis's "On The Other Hand"). Season three is a mixture ("That's Me Without You," "How Far Down Can I Go") as is season four ("'Til The Pain Outwears The Shame," "How Can I Help You Say Goodbye"). Incidentally, so far only two of the songs chosen as episode titles ("Your Good Girl's Gonna Go Bad" and "Crazy") have actually been performed on the show, and neither of them have been in the episodes after which they're named. | |

Oh, Crap!: An accurate summation of Juliette's facial expression in "This Just Ain't A Good Day For Leavin'" when Rayna finally loses her composure at a pissed-off Juliette (both have had a very stressful day, Rayna because of Deacon's and Sadie's woes and Juliette because almost everyone blew off her baby shower that very day, with Avery off on tour), and then Miss Barnes looks horrified, and Rayna immediately apologises for going off on a pregnant, hormonal woman. Whose waters just broke... | |

And then there's this little gem to Jeff after the two of them have had sex: | |

Don't go around mentioning that Deacon is Maddie's biological father if Teddy is anywhere near. Seriously, just don't. And as Eric Close pointed out, it's never a good idea to call Rayna a bitch - "especially in front of freakin Deacon." | |

Averted with "All Or Nothing With Me," some of which takes place at Fort Campbell on the Kentucky/Tennessee border. | |

Jerkass | |
| Nashville / int_eb8e4fa8 | comment |
Jerk Ass: The new head of Edgehill Records, Mr. Jeff Fordham. This sentiment is first expressed by Juliette, then by Avery, Rayna, Emily and even the man himself ("I was an ass, OK?"). Also, he's apparently as good in bed as he is at his job. Markus Keen, Highway 65's newest signing, also performs this function. | |

No Good Deed Goes Unpunished | |
| Nashville / int_eb8f64a6 | comment |
No Good Deed Goes Unpunished: Avery backs out of a sexual encounter with a woman looking to sign him, but Scarlett gets mad at him anyway. While he did the right thing this time, he previously screwed up Scarlett's demo and she realizes that she no longer trusts him. | |

Duet Bonding | |
| Nashville / int_ebb57e1a | comment |
Duet Bonding: Deacon with both girls, though Juliette seems to enjoy it more and Rayna thinks it was a mistake. Scarlett and Gunnar's main mode of bonding too. Subverted with Rayna and Juliette. They're professional enough to put on a great show, but are still bitter rivals. | |

Absentee Actor | |
| Nashville / int_f1577617 | comment |
Absentee Actor: In spite of being Promoted to Opening Titles in season two, Chris Carmack and the Stella sisters are missing from several season two episodes (Carmack from five, Lennon Stella from seven and Maisy Stella from eight). Carmack and Maisy Stella also miss four season three episodes, while Lennon isn't in three. Showrunner Dee Johnson stated before season three began that a lot of the regulars wouldn't be in every episode, and so it proved - in addition to the above, Will Chase and Oliver Hudson (both promoted in season three) skip one and three respectively. And the latter moved on to Scream Queens, so (Juliette signing up Jeff Fordham (Hudson) as her new manager in the season three finale notwithstanding) he wasn't around for much of season four. Not least because Jeff took a fatal plunge off a hotel roof before the midseason finale. Eric Close is missing from three season three episodes (as well as season two's "Your Good Girl's Gonna Go Bad"). And now Teddy's been Put on a Bus. A prison bus. Although he still turns up occasionally. Because Aubrey Peeples had to take time off to shoot Jem and the Holograms, she doesn't appear in several season four episodes. Although Hayden Panettiere was pregnant and on maternity leave during production of much of season three "That's The Way Love Goes" is the first episode of the series in which she doesn't appear (although Avery does talk to an insomniac Juliette over the phone in one scene), with pre-filmed material taking care of the others (although she barely has any screen time at all in some of them, particularly "I'm Lost Between Right And Wrong"). Season four saw her have to take temporary leave from the series to deal with postpartum depression (an awful case of Life Imitates Art) during filming of "Unguarded Moments," ironically the first episode in which Juliette herself is in treatment off-screennote (she did film some of it but her material was removed, though she still appears in flashback footage). | |

Suspiciously Similar Substitute: Some have made this claim about Cash Gray, an up-and-coming blonde singer-songwriter with an (ex-)alcoholic father who's due to cross paths with Rayna - and whose arrival on the show coincides with Hayden Panettiere's temporary absence. | |

Beauty Is Never Tarnished | |
| Nashville / int_fe614133 | comment |
Beauty Is Never Tarnished: People with liver cancer who need a transplant to save them generally tend to not look as good as Deacon does, to put it mildly. Sadly averted with the black eye Sadie's ex Pete gives her - it remains on her face for several episodes, including Sadie using makeup to hide it for public appearances. | |
