So I have been following along with “Nashville,” I just haven’t had time to blog about it, or many shows, as of late. I’m hoping that will be changing soon fortunately.

First up, no decision about the show’s future has been made. It hasn’t been a ratings blockbuster for ABC during first runs on Wednesday, but has been a success when it comes to DVR and OnDemand playbacks. The show also has spurned a tour and albums, so I’m willing to bet they will give it one more season and perhaps move it to another night to see how it does.

I am not that impressed with the resolution to Scarlett’s breakdown and drug addiction. We have found out, so the doctors say, that she’s not an addict. Then what in the blazes happened? It now looks like she may have inherited her mother’s bi-polar issues. It seems either way she comes from a bad gene pool, as we learned Deacon and her mother’s father was an alcoholic and their mother also had mental issues. However she’s out of the clinic, Rayna let her out of her contract, and it seems that is that. I hope we are going to deal with this storyline a little more and not just sweep it under the rug. They made her mother out to be the worst mother since Joan Crawford and now it’s all been dropped. I don’t think so!

Jealous that Avery has paid too much attention to Scarlett during her time of need, Juliette went and had a fling with that horrible head of Edgehill records Jeff Forham! We don’t know what they did other than kiss, but it doesn’t look good. Unfortunately Gunnar saw them come out of the same hotel/bar one after another and they were fixing their disheveled selves up. Just when I had begun liking Juliette they go and do this. However from the spoilers below, it looks like Jeff is going to get what he wants and we are supposed to feel bad for Juliette. Nope not me!

Will and Layla are doing a reality TV show that will only lead to trouble for the closeted singer. I really hope he’s finally outed as this storyline has gone on way too long. I also would not be surprised to learn Layla knows about him. Hell it seems half of Nashville possibly knows! I could totally see Layla attaching herself to him to help her own career. Something about her has always rubbed me the wrong way.

Teddy has been a crybaby the past few episodes he’s been in and I’m pretty much over his character. I’m glad Deacon learned the truth about Teddy and his now ex-girlfriend. From the previews it looks like Rayna and Deacon could be headed for a long overdue reconciliation. Just when I started warming up to Rayna’s new guy Luke! Aw man, which man to chose?

Spoilers for the finale two episodes of the season below!
