Welcome to the Juliette Barnes ♦ Avery Barkley Appreciation Thread

"Love is wanting to help somebody be the b e s t version of themselves"

the love story;

J u l i e t t e B a r n e s was the girl who had never known what it meant to be truly loved or chosen as worthy. Despite being a country artist sensation, she still looked for validation in her self worth in her career and in men she used. A v e r y B a r k l e y was the guy who would do anything to make it to the top, pushing down anyone and everyone he could to garner success in his music career.

Juliette and Avery had first crossed paths backstage at the Opry, where they bump into each other, and Juliette cheekily tells him that they should “try that again sometime, only slower.” But after that, they don’t have any meaningful interaction until Avery realizes he has been used by his manager and label head, and he burns his masters and joins Juliette’s tour as a roadie. From that time on, they build an i n s t a n t and almost u n s p o k e n connection. Avery became Juliette’s band leader and friend, giving her advice and not being afraid to call her out when he felt she was doing something wrong.

Their friendship and deep trust in each other led to feelings being developed that neither of them truly realized. They both came to the realization that “Love is wanting to help someone be the best version of themselves”, and that is what sets these two apart. They have both made poor choices, been used and broken, and yet together they find redemption and peace from their past mistakes. No matter where these two characters drift, there is a kindred love and respect that will be undeniably present.

"The romance began with a genuine friendship...

...meaning it goes deeper than what either of them have experienced before."

• • •

"One of the b e s t things to happen on Nashville has been
the pairing of Avery and Juliette. They are the s h i n i n g
l i g h t on the series at this point and are simply delightful
in every way. Their chemistry is real and they have staying power.
It's terrific the way they s u p p o r t each other without jealousy."

TFTNT!

the title.

Ugh. He totally trusted her but

Static Waves · 06-18-2014, 05:59 PM

the fact that he won't trust her next year kind of destroys me.

OnlySlower · 06-18-2014, 06:00 PM

Me too! He really just believed in her and them. Gah. I can't.

jbshmdfb · 06-18-2014, 06:04 PM

TFTNT. Still think my three choices were cool though

Static Waves · 06-18-2014, 06:06 PM

but its not fair

look at the way they look at each other

jbshmdfb · 06-18-2014, 06:30 PM

I can't wait till they go back to looking at each other like that. Can you picture the look they will give each other when their baby is born?

**Cristofle** · 06-18-2014, 06:38 PM

I think they'll get the trust back, and when they do I think it'll be even stronger.

I agree. I think that their love will also be stronger as well as the trust. As soon as they are secure with themselves and then each other, their happiness will be unstoppable

Static Waves · 06-18-2014, 06:43 PM

I just won't like seeing Avery's hesitation with her, it's gonna be painful to watch

**Cristofle** · 06-18-2014, 06:48 PM

I think Avery was so determined to see the best in her- which was lovely, don't get me wrong- that he kind of missed how deep her insecurities and her self-loathing went. Now that he knows, yeah, it'll take awhile to get the trust back but it'll be even more profound.

jbshmdfb · 06-18-2014, 06:51 PM

I can't wait to see every step of the journey back to each other. But yeah he was so focus on how he sees her that he was totally blindsided by the reveal of her self loathing in the finale.

Static Waves · 06-18-2014, 06:51 PM

seeing Avery forgive her and Juliette forgive herself...

ugh I'm in such an angsty place about these two rn, especially since Hayden gave us all this insight

**Cristofle** · 06-18-2014, 06:54 PM

I wonder how much JJ will talk to Callie and if he does, how much she'll listen. Because I know how big he is on forgiveness, and I think forgiveness can potentially come much easier to Avery than trust, at least trust with his heart.

her insight was amazing. I really liked the part about Juliette putting the pain and hurt behind a door in her head and forgetting it. It took her losing the most important relationship of her life to open that door and let it all on the surface. I wonder how much of what is behind that door is going to be explored. I need to see it all. And Avery to be there for a lot of it.
