Nashville Premiered on ABC on October 10, 2012

Chart-topping Rayna James (Connie Britton) is a country legend who's had a career any singer would envy, though lately her popularity is starting to wane. Fans still line up to get her autograph, but she's not packing the arenas like she used to. Rayna's record label thinks a concert tour, opening for up-and-comer Juliette Barnes (Hayden Panettiere), the young and sexy future of country music, is just what Rayna needs. But scheming Juliette can't wait to steal Rayna's spotlight. Sharing a stage with that disrespectful, untalented, little vixen is the last thing Rayna wants to do, which sets up a power struggle for popularity. Could the undiscovered songwriting talent of Scarlett O'Connor (Clare Bowen) be the key to helping Rayna resurrect her career?

Complicating matters, Rayna's wealthy but estranged father, Lamar Hampton (Powers Boothe), is a powerful force in business, Tennessee politics, and the lives of his two grown daughters. His drive for power results in a scheme to back Rayna's handsome husband, Teddy, in a run for Mayor of Nashville, against Rayna's wishes.

Nashville stars Connie Britton (Friday Night Lights, American Horror Story) as Rayna, Hayden Panettiere (Heroes) as Juliette, Powers Boothe (MacGruber, 24) as Lamar, Charles Esten (Enlightened, Big Love) as Deacon, Eric Close (Chaos, Without a Trace) as Teddy, Clare Bowen as Scarlett, Jonathan Jackson (General Hospital) as Avery, Sam Palladio as Gunnar and Robert Wisdom as Coleman.

Nashville was written by Callie Khouri (Thelma & Louise) who is an executive producer along with R.J. Cutler (The September Issue, The War Room, A Perfect Candidate) and Steve Buchanan. The pilot for Nashville was directed by R.J. Cutler. The series is produced by Lionsgate, ABC Studios and Gaylord Entertainment.

This has now been added to the Flash site

codebreaker

Not a bad start with the rivalry between Rayna and newcomer Juliette but learning the record label wants her to be the opening act for newcomer would be tough

codebreaker

Rayna's kids wanting to watch Juliette shoot her video was amusing and Deacon getting into Juliette's truck didn't go down well with Rayna but stopping at nothing when it comes to getting her hands on him is going to be interesting

codebreaker

Rayna's girls in the talent show were great and Juliette's troubled mother, Jolene was bound to cause trouble but shoplifting herself was bizarre

codebreaker

Juliette storming off the TV show was the worst thing she could of done and with Rayna's life not being much better but what has her husband been up to

codebreaker

Teddy's past with Peggy and his financial troubles should of been obvious after the look on his face when he was told about auditors but I thought his campaign would be derailed if they find out until Rayna's father stepped in

codebreaker

Rayna being described as a mom singer with an SUV was amusing and Lamar's plan to delay Coleman with a police traffic stop was underhanded and Peggy must of been in on the photos with the hand holding and the kiss on the cheek but they did make it look like they are having an affair

codebreaker

You got to feel sorry for Scarlett after walking in on her boyfriend with the other woman considering she drove him away with her suspicions and Rayna's girls looked happy with their mother singing with Juliette

codebreaker

Juliette being late to meet Sean's family for the first time was interesting as it was in church but his sister getting her to sing was nice but what his mother said after diner was a surprise and I hope the proposal isn't just to get back at her, Gunnar kissing Scarlett could of risked his partnership with her

codebreaker

Interesting special getting the back story to the main characters and how their careerer progressed and recap of the show so far

codebreaker

It's more of a background to all the cast with lots of recaps

codebreaker

Rayna suggesting taking her girls with her on tour was interesting as her marriage is on the rocks and Scarlett singing with the band was great

codebreaker

The way they served Juliette by posing as a fan was sneaky and Scarlett seems to attract all the creeps which is a shame

codebreaker

It's amazing that Juliette has her own plane when she is the up and coming star while Rayna is the so called country legend and Deacon joining Juliette's band should make things interesting

codebreaker

Who would of thought Juliette's duet with Deacon would have such a negative vibe at first and Avery jumping to the wrong conclusion about Scarlett was sad but he got what he deserved as he through the first punch

codebreaker

That's some temper Juliette has but the way her manager went behind her back I'm not surprised she's pissed and Rayna's husband wanting a divorce must be hard for she missed her cue for the first time

codebreaker

Juliette planing a surprise birthday party for Deacon was interesting as he doesn't like surprises and what a way for the girls to find out about their parents divorce and having to identify his brothers dead body after kicking him out was sad

codebreaker

Maddie calling her mother a bitch was a surprise and she deserved to get grounded but to make things worse she lies to her dad about her whereabouts with dangerous consequences and Rayna appearing on the "Katie" show hosted by Katie Couric was interesting

codebreaker

The 50ft poster of Rayna outside Juliette's hotel room was amusing and Scarlett being slow to tell Gunnar about getting a solo deal after he failed to turn up was bound to upset him, the James girl doing the sound check on stage was brilliant
