I sort of think her health condition was mostly a reason to halt Juliette's tour, so Hayden wouldn't have to act it out, lol.

Plus, it's the perfect excuse to get rid of another set, lol. I hope nothing too drastic happens to Juliette during the birth, like her not being able to have more kids in the future because that's just too depressing. Maybe she'll be ordered to stay in bed rest and that would be the perfect excuse for Hayden to just chill during those scenes

I still can't believe these two are getting married. We're definitely sure it's not a dream sequence, right? These writers have traumatized us with all the drama in Juliette's life and happiness is such a difficult concept to grasp, lol.

yes we're sure... Lol I actually would enjoy a Juliette in bed rest it would have some funny scenes of a bitching Juliette lol

From a narrative perspective, I see this happening- Avery and Juliette are young and impulsive. I thought it was going to be impulsive sex, lol, not impulsive eloping, but same concept. From a fandom standpoint, I'm still like "Whaaaaaaaaa?"

The J/A wedding will completely overshadow Rayna and R/L

I think most thought they would have a relapse of sorts with impulsive meaningless sex that didn't change a thing the next day. I honestly thought they would get back together in the mid season finale either that or have Juliette faint and have Avery find her and realize he couldn't lost her and it open his eyes.. and thought there would be a proposal in the season finale. Marriage in the mid season was so far from my mind that I did not see that coming lol none of us did.

I have to wonder though now that they are marrying them so quick I seriously don't know what storylines they will give them for this year and next season and if we get more so on and so forth. Normally people only get married near the end of a series so this is throwing me for a loop lol

It never was and never will be meaningless so I think (before we knew about the wedding) if a relapse was to happen it would mean everything to them.

by meaningless I mean it wouldn't change things right then and there cause they had sex. Obviously it would never be just meaningless.. it's just it wouldn't solve the problems they have that is what I mean by meaningless

Shows are changing, though. Booth and Brennan have been married a year now, and together much longer than that. Jim and Pam got together at the end of S3 of The Office and married in early S6- the show went on for several more seasons. Meredith and Derek (which, don't get me started, lol, but it's true) got married a few years back on GA. Audiences are less accepting of dragging it out to the very end these days.

Dont forget Naley, married for pretty much the entire series and let all other couples have all the on/off crap

It is my #1 fandom goal to completely and utterly debunk the stupid, so-called "Moonlighting Curse" lol. Dragging things out is not always better- especially on this show, which doesn't really do the whole "separate but longing" thing so well.

LOL MerDer got married on a post it note LOL and then only got married in RL cause they we're adopting. But also MerDer we're big time fan favourites. Naley well that relationship Im not gonna comment on LOL .... Im all for them married and love that they r doing it so that its end game but I so don't want them going down the road of a divorce thing and what not.

I kind of doubt they'll ever actually get divorced? I mean, I could see it being threatened at some point, just because it's a soap opera, but Nashville will be lucky to get through a fourth season- a fifth season is a pipe dream, I'd imagine. I don't see them actually getting divorced from here on out, especially because the show doesn't have unlimited time.

I'm maintaining my cautiously optimistic stance on this and am going to reserve complete judgement until I see how it unfolds because right now it just seems way too fast and I'm a little wary about how they actually get to that point. That being said, I do see a lot of potential story for them even though they are married. Obviously this is going to be big news in the press and they will most likely play up the trials and tribulations of being married and raising a family in the public eye. They are already touching on this with Rayna and I could totally see them addressing this issue with Juliette and showing how they each deal with it. Hopefully we also get to see Avery advancing more in his career and how that affects his relationship with Juliette and their family dynamic.

They do do this fast, and my guess is that becomes an issue at some point. But it's something that I see as in character for both of them- the build to them realizing they had feelings for each other was relatively slow, but once they decided that, they were both all in. And now they've been in a serious relationship (one that's resulted in a child, no less)- I just don't think either one of them CAN or will particularly want to put that ship back in the bottle. Neither one of them is the type to mull over a proposal- they're just going to go ahead and do it.

Something that's been in the press a lot lately, that I could see the show picking up on, is tabloid-favorite parents who do not want their babies photographed by the paparazzi. Kristen Bell and Dax Shephard are big ones, but Ginnifer Goodwin and Josh Dallas have talked about it, and Jennifer Garner and Halle Berry have even taken it to court. Given what's happening to Maddie and Daphne, Juliette's own tumultuous past with the press, and Avery's tendency to be very private, I could see that being very big with both of them.
