Eternity [Deacon ♥ Rayna] #28 "But I've never let a little fear get in my way, and nothing's ever gonna keep me away from you.""
((ETERNITY)) #28  rayna jaymes & deacon claybourne appreciation thread until the wedding "But I've never let a little fear get in my way, and nothing's ever gonna keep me away from you."   x Support Crew: Famous Fans:  Chip: We have this deep, old, abiding, undeniable love. She's the one for me. Does that always work out? Is it always the best? ...Throughout it all, throughout the mess and the trouble and the turmoil and my damage and her problems in her family and all, there's that thing. But that doesn't necessarily mean that it's going to work out easily or well or whatever. But we're both in there trying. And what we love and what we've talked about, which is why I deign to speak for her, is that sometimes we have these conversations in the midst of all the trouble and all the angst and turmoil where we just sit there and just talk to each other and you can feel it again. You feel that connection again. It gets broken from time to time but it's always right there and it hums. Connie: What I love about the Deacon/Rayna relationship is that it is a very grown up relationship. It's a relationship of people who have a lifetime together and a history together and as actors that's so fun to play because there's so much dimension and depth to it and we can go in so many different directions, you know. And we have. There have been scenes where we can just rip each other apart in so many ways... but there's always this foundation between the two of them and everybody has relationships like that in their lives and I think that that is something that you want that. You want that familiarity and so it's really fun to be able to explore that with these characters. -Paleyfest 2013 Videos: Scenes: top 5 DEACON & RAYNA scenes | SEASON 1 |

I understood it as her love for music and her love for Deacon are so very strongly intertwined. They had found some sort of balance all those years to stay in each other lives without it being a romantic relationship and they were probably channeling the underlying feelings into the music, but they had reached a point where the feelings were taking over and if she wanted to keep her family together, she felt she had to cut ties with him. Which was completely heartbreaking for her and like she said: "I'm trying to do the right thing, but none of it feels right to me." By the way, this is probably my absolute favorite D/R scene. |

I had to come out of lurking to say that I also love this! This is probably my favorite Deacon/Rayna scene of the series too. It's so heartbreaking and you can feel the depth of Rayna's sadness through the TV. I understood Rayna to mean something similar: Music and Deacon were equally important and intertwined parts of her soul and she struggled to balance them with the home life she'd set up with Teddy, who was none of that for her. She felt so responsible for her children's spirits as well, though, and what she needed to fill herself up seemed directly at odds with what she believed they needed. So she'd been trying to finagle a way of having both, but was failing miserably and had no idea what to do because releasing any of them would kill off a little part of herself.
I love that scene in the park by the stone bridge for the same reason. It's not quite as tangibly painful as this one, but it conveys something similar. Last edited by madam magpie; 12-01-2015 at 10:31 AM |

Yes, such an amazing scene, both of them, but Connie especially did an incredible job of conveying Rayna's pain.

Their relationship and music have always been so deeply intertwined. I'm sure for a long time there wasn't a song she wrote that she didn't write with him (or at least he was the first person to hear it).
All those years with Teddy, music was her way of still being able to have a relationship with him. There is no way Teddy would have been ok with her spending that much time with him otherwise. And he bailed so fast when she was performing Postcards from Mexico with Liam. And the first time he saw her perform with Luke. Or Luke signing his awful song he wrote her. And looks like it's coming up again this week when she's working with Markus. Music has always been deeply intimate for them and her mixing their music with other people or mixing music and personal relationships with other people hits his jealousy button so hard __________________

Also, talking about Teddy. It just reminds me of that line she told Luke when she broke up with him. "I don't want to do to you what I did to Teddy." She realized that she put Teddy in an awful situation for all the years of her marriage where she was just running away from her issues with Deacon by hiding in the marriage, but still loving him the whole time. It must have been awful for Teddy. (or would have if he was a real person ) |

Amen to that. I feel bad for Teddy on a theoretical level; he seemed to care for Rayna and loved their kids. But he didn't do what he did as some magnanimous gesture to help her out. He took advantage of her at her most vulnerable and manipulated her into maintaining the lie they'd set up. My empathy for Teddy stops short when I think of how broken Rayna would have been and how he used that to get something he wanted.

I think there's a reason Teddy never tried to force Deacon out of her life. He was afraid that if he made her choose between him and Deacon, she'd choose Deacon. And why he was so adamant about Deacon not knowing about Maddie. Even if she still married him, he becomes a placeholder if Deacon knows. That if Deacon knows and sobered up, Rayna would leave. There'd be nothing holding her to their marriage. If they lie to Deacon, then she has to blow up everyone's lives to leave. By the time the show started that had been his family for a long time and it was understandable that he loved them and didn't want to lose them. But at the beginning? He wanted her enough that he built a situation where she'd feel like she had to stay. And he had some sort of white knight complex about saving her from Deacon or something. __________________

I think there was some scene in the beginning where it said that Teddy's dad was an alcoholic as well, so that's probably where the white knight stuff came from. And they did show that as soon as she removed Deacon from her life everything fell apart rather quickly with Teddy. I guess you could say it was because she found out he'd lied about the cumberland scandal, but let's be honest, if she hadn't been looking for a way to leave she wouldn't have made such a big deal about it.

I think finding out he'd been lying was just the last straw. She didn't marry him because she was in love with him. She married him because she thought he'd be a good husband and father and would provide a much more stable life than Deacon could provide at the time. And grew to love him more as he proved he could do those things. When the show started he had already lost most of their (which really was probably mostly her) money. Then he goes and cozies up to Lamar to become mayor. Starts exposing them to scandal. And then finds out he'd been lying to her. So when the reasons she married him started no longer being true she had fewer and fewer reasons to stay __________________
