Rachel Bilson leads a stellar ensemble cast in this fish-out-of-water comedic drama about small-town living, big city attitudes and complicated love triangles. It’s been nearly two years since Dr. Zoe Hart (Rachel Bilson) moved to BlueBell, Alabama, and shook up life in this small town. Now Zoe navigates between bad boy Wade Kinsella (Wilson Bethel) and good hearted George Tucker (Scott Porter), while Lemon Breeland (Jaime King) achieves her dream of being a business owner – even if that business is The Rammer Jammer, and her mismatched partner is Wade. Zoe’s best friend and landlord, Mayor Lavon Hayes (Cress Williams), has finally gotten over Lemon, finding happiness with AnnaBeth (Kaitlyn Black), complicated by the fact that she is Lemon's best friend. And Zoe’s associate, Dr. Brick Breeland (Tim Matheson), pursues love, but his daughters won't endorse his new fiancée. Zoe’s love life is still a mess, and she’s not sure what the future holds in store for her, but we know it will be juicy and full of fun.

General Spoilers:
“We leave on a cliffhanger, with everyone being sent off for the summer [and our plans to] pick up in Season 3 after some time had passed.” [source]

Question: My hart broke when Zoe/Wade broke up on Hart of Dixie. They didn’t get nearly enough time “together.” Please tell me Zoe gives Wade another chance! —Lauren
Ausiello: I see what you did there. Hart. Hart of Dixie. Clever. I may steal that for next week’s AA. In the meantime, exec producer Leila Gerstein insists Wade’s infidelity and the pair’s subsequent breakup “was never intended to be the end” of their story. “It is a long series [and] we expect to do many, many, many more episodes of this show,” she adds of the recently renewed dramedy. “And they’re not even done for this season! There will be another connection between Zoe and Wade before the season is over. I would certainly tell ‘Zade’ fans out there that they should not be giving up hope.” [source]

Question: Any good Hart of Dixie scoop you could possibly dish out? —Stephanie
Ausiello: George and Tansy’s recent break-up doesn’t necessarily mean Mircea Monroe is leaving the show. It may mean that. But it doesn’t necessarily mean that. Allow exec producer Leila Gerstein explain: “We love Mircea and would welcome her back in any capacity… I don’t think [her split with George] means there’s not Tansy and George in the future, because they’re very adorable together. And it doesn’t mean that there’s not Tansy and someone else ahead!” [source]

Question: Please tell me Zoe is going to go back to Wade after she takes some time for herself on Hart of Dixie? —Amanda
Ausiello: Wilson Bethel says a full-fledged Zoe-Wade “scenario” in Season 3 “seems pretty logical,” although he believes it was smart for the show to end the season with Zoe pulling a Kelly Taylor. “It’s probably good that there’s a bit of anticipation about what she will do” heading into the fall. [source]

Does Hart of Dixie’s Scott Porter think George and Zoe will finally be more explored in Season 3? And what would be his dream storyline for George Tucker? –Stephanie
What if I told you that his dream storyline does not involve Zoe…? Porter told me his No. 1 Season 3 wish is that “George is single, for most of the year. That we get to see him more fleshed out and go on some solo adventures as opposed to always being tethered to a relationship.” The actor noted that in Season 2, George “was single for one episode, and then had a revolving door of women coming through his life, and I want to see George outside of that.” As such, this storyline in which George shutters his law practice for a bit to indulge his musical leanings has a good ring to it. “There’s a part of George that is a little bit more wild — and he needs to start letting that side out.” [source]

Well, the thing is – even Gerstein isn’t entirely sure. The season is in the very early stages, and everything could be changing. But for right now, this is how she sees Wade, ”I don’t think that Wade waited around all summer and didn’t have sex with anyone else. I don’t think we’d want to see that Wade. He’s still Wade, but he has a business and he’s certainly changed. I don’t want to take him all the way back to before. But I think the culmination of that responsibility and the ability to say ‘I love you’ knowing that he might not hear it back is a big deal. We can’t take that away from his character.”...And I feel like she felt that Wade and Zoe are by no means over, so keep on keepin’ on, Zade fans. What about George Tucker (Scott Porter)? Well as of right now the story is, “When we come back in episode one, George has quit the tour and he is missing. No one has seen him in months.” ...”It’s hard for me to talk about that without ruining it. Where we start season 3 will be… a little unexpected.” That’s all I got out of her as far as Zoe goes! ...One thing they won’t have: a pregnant Lemon (Jaime King). King is pregnant in real life, but they are going to hide it. [source]

The W/Z/G love triangle is being laid to rest. Season 3 will be about expanding their community. New love interests will be introduced for almost everyone. New love triangles will form. [source]

On AnnaBeth - "And, at this point, she has become so integral to the series — as Lemon’s best friend, as Lavon’s girlfriend, and as Zoe’s confidante — that we needed to make sure she was all ours! And she may start her own jam business." [source]

On George - George is a mess in the season premiere partly because he has been away from BlueBell for so long. He and Lemon will have a close friendship where they help each other out. There won't be a rekindling of their romance. George is still very upset with Zoe. The show is going to refocus George a bit. And there won't be any singing. [source]

On Lynly/Lavon/AB - When Hart of Dixie picks up, lovebirds Lavon and Annabeth (the newly promoted Kaitlyn Black) are “still happily together,” showrunner Leila Gerstein shared recently with TVLine, “but having some tension because his demanding cousin has moved in.” [source]

Lyla: Hart of Dixie scoop please!
A new Breeland woman is coming to Bluebell: Grandma Bettie! Lemon's grandmother comes to town to help her granddaughter preserve the Breeland name. A pillar of the Southern Belle community, Bettie is strong, upscale and take-charge. Hm…we wonder where Lemon gets her personality from?! [source]

On Tansy returning - When asked about Tansy's return to HoD, Mircea Monroe said that she wasn't sure what she was allowed to discuss. [source]

On Tara Lynn/sister - Tara Lynn was a Lemon 1.0 like Belle who appeared in the s2 finale with Crickett. The 301 sides included Tara Lynn. Karla Mosley from the Bold and the Beautiful appears in season 3 and later appeared in a picture with the actress who played Tara Lynn in the finale and they are playing sisters in season 3. [source]

McPartlin will play the very handsome Carter Covington, a chivalrous and extremely charming Southern gentleman who is one the most eligible bachelors in the South — and every Southern Belle's dream husband.So who will fall for him first? [source]

Yeah Carter...

But there are at least 3, 4 if Carter stays or comes back, recurring characters that are new. That is a lot of screen time. Are they taking time
Away from the 6 (or 7) main cast now? No need to interact with each other we'll just throw new people in a scene with you?! Lol

I'm just not needing too many people!

Well some of the people recurring are there to interact with more than just one person. And we knew that there would be a lot of new characters. LG said that when she said that almost everyone was getting a new love interest. There are 5 single main cast members. So if all of them got a love interest that would be 5 new characters.

Also Magnolia, Shelby, and Jonah aren't coming back. Tansy is in the premiere, but she may not stick around. So that is at least 3 spots open for recurring characters.

Joel is going to interact at least with Zoe and Wade. If they go with him writing a book route then he will serve another purpose. He'll interact with everyone and also give us a new storyline.

Lynly is going to interact with AB, Lavon, and George. We don't know what is up with George yet. She is also going to give Lavon and AB a storyline and conflict. Having something with George even if it is a flirtation gives her another purpose.

Carter we don't know about. And there isn't any indication that he may stick around in the beginning part of the season. He may come back in the 2nd part when either both or one of Lynly or Joel may be gone.

So we are still only left with the 2 main recurring characters who have a purpose.

Now there is the part that KM is playing. She is the wildcard because we know she is a Belle, but we don't know what her purpose is. The other girl playing her sister I'm counting as more of a background character.

So right now that leaves as a question mark a love interest for Brick who would be recurring. I think he'll get one.

And then the possibility of a love interest for Wade or not. Or they can make me happy and have whatever part KM is playing serve that role which means that we don't need to add another new character.

Also JK will be missing for several episodes. And they all won't be in every episode. So it really is not alot. If they went this route and made KM Wade's new LI(maybe Maybe not) it would make sense that they will not have to bring on a another new character. We would already be introduced and they could slowly build that up. I don't see her as just Lemon rival. Lemon will have Zoe for that early on, She will have the Faux relationship. Then she will have Carter, She seems to have her plate full. Then she will be leaving for a few. So what purpose is TL's increased roll? And why make an additional role for her sister? I am not saying for certain that it will happen. We don't have any solid proof. But that is the picture I am getting. That it very well may be she turns out to be Wade's new LI. It just looks more and more likely.
Also I don't think she will be a LI for Brick. We just went down that road last season with him dating a younger woman.

Yeah I doubt she is there for Brick. She is also a Belle. She is from BB. So that would be like dating her dad. Shelby was from out of town so she wouldn't have known Brick her whole life. And it would be the same storyline as Brick/Shelby.

That is also why I don't like her as a rival for Lemon. Didn't we just have that last season with Ruby? And we also know that Lemon is going to start trying to date. There is also the fake relationship with Wade. I'm all for characters having their own storylines, but that seems like an awful lot for Lemon when we don't even know if JK will be missing episodes or not.

I also don't know why Tara Lynn who no one remembers from the finale needs a sister. If they wanted to expand BB and TL or the sister aren't important roles then they should have given Crickett or someone else a family member who is just supposed to be there in the background. So at the very least I think whatever part KM is playing (whether it is the new TL or a new named Belle with TL's qualities) that the role is a little bit more prominent. It will be interesting to see what that role is.

I will admit that I want it to be Wade's LI because I would find that twist interesting. And for superficial reasons. I want to see KM and WB in scenes together. And it would mean that we have 1 less new character being introduced. Although I'm fine with the number right now because Lynly and Joel have a purpose. I'm also ok with a love interest for Brick and Lemon desperately needs one. So at some point we can only have so many new characters added. And they should have a purpose. So if KM winds up being NG that works because she is already there and we would know her. There wouldn't be any need to introduce another new character for us to get to know.

I also just thought of something. They are going to extra screen time if Lemon leaves. That would be perfect timing to fill that gap with TL. That should also be around the time we are predicting Wade may move on. His SL will need to continue.

If something happens in 304 and with that title I don't see how it can't, then I do think that Wade will have to move on. And that is very early in the season. If JK is absent for a few episodes we could have him running the RJ by himself as part of the storyline, but that can't be every episode. And other than that Wade's professional life is actually in order. We shouldn't return to 219-221 where things get screwed up because Wade is a new business owner type storylines. That storyline needs to move forward. I get that the first episode w/o Lemon may be something. And yet I don't want a constant Wade struggles without Lemon's help types of storylines. That would just depict Wade as an idiot. He has co-owned the RJ for months and he worked there for years. I think the man can get on fine. So to be honest, I don't see much story potential coming from him owning the Rammer Jammer and keeping the storylines fresh and not repetitive. They can only hold so many events at the RJ before that would get old as well for a main story focus. Owning the RJ isn't like being a lawyer or a doctor. Those professions can have new cases which keep then new. How many new things are going to happen owning the RJ?

I still see the Wade/Earl story arc as more of a season long thing. So that is another story potential for an episode and probably closer to Christmas or right after Wade decides he needs to move on. Maybe Earl makes an appearance on the roof tops again? Maybe Wade has been too busy to come around as much as he used to?

So those are a few options. And his friendships with Lavon and MB. I don't know if we want a huge focus of Wade hanging out with MB to be Wade's story. Wade is supposed to be growing up and maturing. And Lavon has his own life as well. Although I do want Lavon to be the one to be there for Wade and to help push him in the direction of needing to move on. Lavon has been where Wade will be so he should know how he is feeling. And Lavon can get through to Wade. And Wade listens to Lavon. So I desperately want there to be a return of that friendship in S3.

And that reminded me of the timeline a bit. 304 is the start of sweeps so sweeps should be 304-306 or 307 depending on if there is a week of or not. So the mention of Earl reminded me that Earl on the rooftop was in 105. They could very easily parallel S1 and S3 and Earl does something in 305 that once again embarrasses Wade and reminds him of where he came from. That would really fit if Wade is feeling down already after 304.

We do need fresh SLs. I don't want to same old same old. We had three staright RJ struggling SL. Been there done that. Also yes Lavon needs to get that judgemental stick out of his behind he had in S2 and become a better friend. I would love to see AB & Lavon set him up.

If she comes back it won't be as big of a role as she had in S1 or S2. It may only be for 1 or 2 episodes. And that is only if there is room in her schedule.

I definitely don't want any more Wade the struggling bar owner storylines. They achieved a victory in the S2 finale and that is the way that story should move now. After months of owning the RJ are we supposed to believe that Wade is now suddenly an idiot? I would expect one episode if Lemon isn't there. That is fine because that is believable. And I just think that Lavon is the best person for Wade this season since he knows what Wade is going through. And Lavon is always the voice of reason for Wade.

I don't think Magnolia will join Shelly and the jars of money in the vault so I'm sure her absence will be explained, I'm delighted for Claudia Lee though she is doing very well for herself...

They probably will say she was shipped off to boarding school. I will miss her dearly though. She really was a bright spot on HOD.
