I disagree, because there have been other promos where Juliette doesn't even whisper the name Maddie. It shows her focused on her own career.

I actually thought this promo was pretty balanced overall. Maybe could have used a touch more Will, but pretty balanced. I don't expect a promo of this length to cover every single possible storyline either, but maybe that's just me. I do think that the healing of the Deacon/Daphne/Maddie family will be spotlighted, but good grief, they just lost their wife/mother. I think that's to be expected and is part of the go forward process after Rayna.

They posted a happy Mother's Day on Instagram and said "and our mother to be" referring to Scarlett. How gross is that if she loses the baby?

^ That would be kind of sad to post, especially if she loses the baby later on. But Scarlett was really showing in the clip of her walking into the room. Still thinking the baby won't be Gunnar's though and I'm not looking forward to more of Damien in the future. Does anyone know how many shows he is supposed to be on?

As for Maddie and Daphne continuing to get so much air time. I think that is just something the new people are going to write about and pursue. I think they are finishing the story started way back in season 4 when Rayna and Deacon got married and Daphne was so worried about not being a part of the "family." I don't mind this story being played out, but (like the Daphne-gets-her-period episode), I don't want every other scene to be Daphne and her wild haired friend.

I don't mind Daphne and even Maddie having their own storylines, but I do mind when they have the main storylines for episode after episode like what happened in the latter half of season 5A. I've watched other shows where kids suddenly get prominate roles on a show that started out being about adults, and it always ruins the show, imo.

Thanks for letting us know.

^ I agree. And even shows like Disney's Girl Meets World that played to teens just couldn't hold up over time.

I cannot believe this is where they've decided to go. At least make Damien a guy she was actually dating for awhile before this point. I will not be able to watch him help her raise someone else's kid.

As for juliette looks like they act as if her progress doesn't even exist. She's now the bitchy bad girl again.

I disagree with you. This promo was not balanced at all. But you're not the only nashvile fan who just can't see the bad new direction this show is taking.

Nashville615

Excuse me?? That's your opinion. It doesn't have to be mine. Or anyone else's. I think the people who are looking forward to what's next would say that you don't see the possibilities.

We'll just have to agree to disagree.

Arrakis

I just stated the facts for this promo. other promos might be more balanced.

Crystal222

I did think it was odd that Juliette's segment was short and that it was focused on Maddie, but she's had a big focus on other promos, so it didn't bother me too much.

WHat does bother me is what in the world is Avery doing to her leg? As someone who's done (and is currently doing) a lot of physical therapy, I've never seen anything like that. It looks like she's stretching, and this is something the therapist would have her do herself. I do that with a towel at home or a band when I'm in the therapy room. I had the same problem when Juliette fell transferring to the toilet. She didn't put the brakes down on her wheelchair first, which is a big issue. And the toilet didn't have it's brakes on either, so it moved quite easily. No wonder she fell. Anyway, rant over. I'm just surprised a show like this doesn't do better medical research on these details.

I disagree with your facts on the promo. But the rest was where you stated that the show was going in a "bad" direction, which is a matter of opinion.

Just popped on to say how sad I was to hear about the passing of Powers Boothe. Loved him long before Nashville but he made a great Lamar. He was a character I wished had stuck around on the show. I will miss seeing him on my screen. RIP

It depends whose story you are interested in. We all have our own views. Personally as Rayna/Deyna fan feeling really out of place these days...

But I´m happy for all who can enjoy.

Nashville615

It's still an opinion. Regardless of which stories you prefer.

I'm sorry you feel out of place. I am a Deacon/Rayna fan too, but I'm open to what the possibilities are. I understand not everyone is.
